Over 4,500 years ago, one of the most important buildings ever constructed was built, the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt.
At the time, it surpassed everything that had ever been built by humans on the earth in terms of height, mass, complexity and pure audacity. It became one of the 7 Wonders of the World and the only one to largely survive to this day. It remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for a total of 3,800 years. It weighed 6 million tonnes, containing 2.3 million quarried blocks of stone some of which weighed an astonishing 80 tonnes.
It remains to this day a breath-taking spectacle, even in the age of space travel and has captivated the imagination of people ever since it was first built. But the wonder doesn't stop with the outside. Inside, the building is full of mysteries that have challenged some of the greatest scientific minds over the past 500 years.
Despite being one of the most prominent and well-known buildings ever constructed, having been studied seriously for centuries, it remains up to this day an enigma; theories abound about how the Great Pyramid was built and what the function of all the intricate galleries and passages inside it were intended for.
Harrison reveals in this book, Part I, how the Great Pyramid was built and why the most popular preceeding theories fall well short.
This is a must read for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt.
