Description
The pyramids are amongst the most remarkable structures in world history. From their development around 3,000 BC to the fabulous edifices that rose up from the desert plains of Giza, these incredible monuments have given rise to a set of fascinating legends. Joyce Tyldesley sets out to reveal the truth behind these astonishing structures, cutting away modern myth and prejudice. The Old Kingdom pharaohs believed that death was the beginning of eternal life, and they built pyramids as a way to help them on their journey. Huge ramps or stairways charged with potent magic led directly to the sky, helping the pharaohs to achieve this goal. This book chronicles how and why Egypt's pharaohs built on such a grand scale, and shows how the pyramids helped to build Egypt itself. A fascinating survey of the pyramids, this book is required reading for anyone who wants to know about these incredible structures.
