Many of their building techniques we today cannot explain. The baffling puzzle of how the stones were raised is one of these. The big puzzle aside, many minor mysteries are for the first time explained. Egyptologists agree that those performing the heavy labor were conscripted citizens, not slaves. The builders were inventive, motivated, daring, and superbly organized. They made mistakes, the price of innovation. Still, they persevered, and created some of the most impressive monuments in history. This book should help the reader understand the problems the builders faced, and instill admiration of their work."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Pyramids $z Egypt $x Design and construction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220728030721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=115074B00E3B11EDA203A1122FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
