Meetings with Remarkable Men

Meetings with Remarkable Men, autobiographical in nature, is the second volume of the All and Everything trilogy written by the Greek-Armenian spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff.

The book takes the form of Gurdjieff's reminiscences about various "remarkable men" that he met, beginning with his father.

For example, Gurdjieff claims to have first heard the Epic of Gilgamesh as an oral epic sung from memory by his father; to have made contact with various ancient brotherhoods including the Sarmoung Brotherhood; to have copied a map of "pre-sand Egypt"; and to have witnessed a number of miracles and esoteric phenomena.

However, it has since been accepted that North Africa goes through a 21,000 year climate cycle that would have produced a "pre-sand Egypt" during the period from approximately 9,000 to 3,500 BCE.

[citation needed] The book was adapted into a film, Meetings with Remarkable Men, in 1979 by Peter Brook.
