The pyramids of Giza / George, Enzo

This comprehensive volume covers the structures histories, including still-controversial theories about how they were built, and the latest excavations and discoveries. Modern photographs will give readers an idea of the pyramids magnitude, while a timeline will make them realize how truly enduring these extraordinary monuments are.
