How, in a nation of farmers only recently emerged from the Stone Age, could such a massive, complex, and enduring structure have been envisioned and constructed? Laboring at his computer ten hours a day for five years--creating exquisitely detailed 3-D models of the pyramid's interior--Houdin finally had his answer. It was a startling revelation that cast a fresh light on the minds that conceived one of the wonders of the ancient world." -- cover. 650 0 $a Great Pyramid (Egypt) $x Design and construction. 650 0 $a Pyramids of Giza (Egypt) 650 0 $a Pyramids $z Egypt $x Design and construction. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Civilization $y To 332 B.C. 700 1 $a Houdin, Jean-Pierre. 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204055428.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110041144.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20150509023851.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20140826011153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7867311C28FB11E49E7A85DBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
