Story4 out of 5 stars 59
The great pyramids of Giza have intrigued humanity for thousands of years. Questions about the construction and the purpose of these majestic monuments have existed since the middle period of ancient Egyptian civilization; in the sixth century B.C., Herodotus was the first of generations of explorers to travel to Egypt in an attempt to unlock their secrets. Recent cutting-edge research has uncovered information, unimaginable to previous generations, about how and why they were built.

I read Bob Brier’s Egyptian Civilization, 48 lectures before this book and wouldn’t have understood it if I hadn’t. Excellent book, very well done! If you have a good base knowledge of 3000 years of civilization, then this might be the book for you.
