The Egyptian Pyramids : A Comprehensive, Illustrated Reference Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This generously illustrated work is the most complete reference book ever published on these fascinating and compelling structures of the ancient world.

Facts on each of the 42 pharaohs and the monuments they constructed (and commentary from the author who has extensively explored them) include all elements of each pyramid complex that have been discovered, and whether a sarcophagus and mummy have been located.

Cross-sectional diagrams and floor plans are provided for all pyramids so far uncovered, as well as photographs where available.

Longer essays discuss in painstaking detail the unusual features such as the Bent Pyramid of Pharaoh Sneferu and the Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu.

Eight appendices include a comparison of Egyptian to Aztec and Mayan pyramids; and notable pyramid authors and explorers.

The resulting book offers solutions to many of the intriguing mysteries long associated with the pyramids in addition to tantalizing suggestions of discoveries yet to be made.
