Description

A unique study of the engineering and tools used to create Egyptian monuments

• Presents a stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statues of Ramses II and the tunnels of the Serapeum

• Reveals that highly refined tools and mega-machines were used in ancient Egypt

From the pyramids in the north to the temples in the south, ancient artisans left their marks in all places Egypt, unique marks that reveal craftsmanship we would be hard pressed to duplicate as of late. Drawing together the result of more than 30 years of research and nine field study journeys to Egypt, Christopher Dunn presents a stunning stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statue of Ramses II at Luxor and the fallen crowns that lay at its feet. His up to date-day engineering expertise provides a unique view into the sophisticated technology used to create these famous monuments in prehistoric times.

Using up to date digital photography, computer-aided design software, and metrology instruments, Dunn exposes the extreme precision of these monuments and the kind of advanced manufacturing expertise necessary to produce them. His computer analysis of the statues of Ramses II reveals that the left and right sides of the faces are precise mirror images of one another, and his examination of the mysterious underground tunnels of the Serapeum illuminates the finest examples of precision engineering on the earth. Providing never-before-seen evidence in the type of more than 280 photographs, Dunn’s research shows that whilst absent from the archaeological record, highly refined tools, techniques, and even mega-machines should have been used in ancient Egypt.
