About this listen

The Great Pyramid of Giza

Ancient Egypt has mystified and entranced generation after generation. The Egyptians' mastery of architecture, their complex religious ideologies, and their peculiar views on death have given modern-day readers much to ponder. Few, if any, of their remaining relics have produced the awe and spectacular wonder of the Great Pyramids of Giza. These three architectural masterpieces have stood for more than 5,000 years despite looting, exploitation, and the slow erosion of time.

Inside you will learn about:

  • The birth of a wonder
  • The architect and exterior construction
  • The construction of the interior: The King’s Tomb
  • The end of the Old Kingdom
  • The birth of Egyptology
  • The Great Pyramid today
  • Fringe theories on the Great Pyramid
  • And much more

This book will describe the history, theory, and ideology behind the construction of the last remaining ancient wonder of the world.
