I gather from the contents list, as given at the specified site, that
Alford repeats Sitchin's asinine `Great Pyramid forgery' claim.

Could anyone who's read the book send me details of what he says on this
topic?

My outline refutation of the `forgery' claim is at

http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~martins/Pyramid/

- and I've done far more research than I've yet written up.

The volume of work involved in refuting just one point underlines the
fallacy in this kind of `try disproving all the evidence presented'
challenge. Writing rubbish is far, far easier than writing sound
commentary. Just because no-one has the time or inclination to refute
the whole package, doesn't make it so.

Repetition of Sitchin's forgery claim is (IMO) a reliable indicator
of just one more uncritical `ancient mysteries' compilation.
