Not a Watch Tower publication — John and Morton Edgar

John Edgar (died 1910), a Glasgow physician, and his brother Morton Edgar were Bible Students. Their Great Pyramid Passages (1910–1913) was recommended in The Watch Tower; Morton Edgar continued pyramid studies after the Society abandoned the subject in 1928.

Origins: The Great Pyramid: In the 19th century several writers argued that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built under divine guidance and that its measurements foretell God's plan. C. T. Russell took up this view in Thy Kingdom Come (1891), drawing on Piazzi Smyth and Joseph Seiss, and The Watch Tower recommended the detailed studies of the Scottish Bible Students John and Morton Edgar. In 1928 The Watch Tower under J. F. Rutherford rejected pyramid study as unscriptural ("The Altar in Egypt"), and the Society has not taught it since.
