Customer Reviews

a professional discussion
Pyramid building, according to the author, should be placed not in the context of only Ancient Egyptian technology, but rather in that of Near Eastern technology. This book is devoted to understanding the methods used by the Ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids. Numerous illustrations and excellent evidence complete this professional, believable and backed-up discussion, which will be of much use to interested readers.

A compelling description of pyramid building
This work is by someone who understands stonework and is compelling in its suggestions of how the pyramids might have been constructed.
