Enoch is quoted in the New Testament, and yet it's not in the scriptures. It makes sense that it's important, so yes, I will hope we receive all that was written.

I read years ago on some fringe website that the pyramids were built so that the writings of Enoch could be protected from the great flood. They are supposedly in a sealed upper room but nobody will give the archaeologist who proposed this idea permission to remove the necessary stones to gain access to the chamber.

I'm not saying that I believe this theory but I do feel that the day will come when the Lord will clear the way for the lost works of Enoch as well as other ancient writings to come to light. There is already many interesting things going on in this regard. Are you familiar with the work of Margaret Barker?

I'm not. Who is Margaret Barker? I'd be interested I think.

And the pillars of Enoch are written of by several ancient authors. Here's one from Josephus that tells of them being hidden before the flood:

The children of Seth "also were the inventors of that peculiar sort of wisdom which is concerned with the heavenly bodies, and their order. And that their inventions might not be lost before they were sufficiently known, upon Adam's prediction that the world was to be destroyed at one time by the force of fire, and at another time by the violence and quantity of water, they made two pillars, the one of brick, the other of stone: they inscribed their discoveries on them both, that in case the pillar of brick should be destroyed by the flood, the pillar of stone might remain, and exhibit those discoveries to mankind; and also inform them that there was another pillar of brick erected by them. Now this remains in the land of Siriad to this day."

- Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews Bk I, Ch II, Sn 3

No; but I know something about Mary Baker Eddy.
