How the Great Pyramid Was Built

Description

Going beyond even the expertise of archaeologists and historians, world-class engineer Craig B. Smith explores the making plans and engineering at the back of the improbable Great Pyramid of Giza. How would the traditional Egyptians have developed their building plans, devised work schedules, managed laborers, solved specific design and engineering problems, and even improvised at the job? The answers are here, together with dazzling, one-of-a-kind color photographs and lovely hand-drawn illustrations of tools, materials, and building techniques the traditional masters used. In his foreword to the book, Egypt’s Undersecretary of State for the Giza Monuments Zahi Hawass explains the significance of figuring out the Great Pyramid as a straightforward construction project.
