For more than 4, 000 years the pyramids of Giza have stood like giant question marks that have intrigued & endlessly fascinated people. Who exactly built them? When? Why? & how did they create these colossal structures? But the pyramids are not a complete mystery
- the stones, the hieroglyphs, the landscape & even the layers of sand & debris hold stories for us to read. Mark Lehner & Zahi Hawass, with over four decades of involvement with Giza, provide their unique & personal insight into the site, bringing together all the information & evidence to create a record unparalleled in its detail & scope. The celebrated Great Pyramid of Khufu, or Cheops, is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing, but there is much more to Giza. We may think of the pyramids as rising from the desert, isolated & enigmatic, yet they were surrounded by temples, tombs, vast cemeteries & even teeming towns of the living. All are described in detail here & brought back to life, with hundreds of illustrations including detailed photographs of the monuments, excavations & objects, as well as plans, reconstructions & the latest images from remote-controlled cameras & laser scans. Through the ages, Giza & the pyramids have inspired the most extraordinary speculations & wild theories, but here, finally, in this prestigious publication, is the full story as told by the evidence on the ground, by the leading authorities on the site.
