ENGINEERING THE PYRAMIDS

Pyramids are one of the wonders of the ancient world.But one mystery remains - how were they built? Using both the archaeological record and the basic principles of engineering Dick Parry proposes the Egyptians moved these great stones into place by a system of rollers and ramps, not the sledges beloved of Egyptologists.Engineering the Pyramids provides a rich and accesible account of the design history of the pyramids, the techniques and organisation needed to bring about these heroic feats of effort and engineering and fascinating insights into why the pyramids were designed as they were.Was it to represent the life-giving rays of the sun, or did the Egyptians work out that this was the only way to acieve the mass they desired with the stability needed to stop the whole edifice collapsing?
