Ginkel, H. J. van is an author about whom very little public information is available; all that is currently known is that one work appears under this name, De Groote Pyramide. Judging from the title, the book takes the Great Pyramid as its subject and is likely a general-interest work on ancient Egyptian history and archaeology. Because the author's dates, nationality, career and educational background cannot be established, no further account of his life can be given, nor can it be confirmed whether he wrote other books or worked as a long-term writer. On the available evidence, this single work is the only point of access to the author, whose writing appears to lean toward popular narrative on historical subjects. Readers interested in the author and the book should base their judgment on the actual content of De Groote Pyramide rather than draw excessive inferences from limited clues.
