HOW GREAT PYRAMID WAS BUILT(ISBN=9781588342003) 英文原版 pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　Going beyond even the expertise of archaeologists and

historians, world-class engineer Craig B. Smith explores the

planning and engineering behind the incredible Great Pyramid of

Giza. How would the ancient Egyptians have developed their building

plans, devised work schedules, managed laborers, solved specific

design and engineering problems, or even improvised on the job? The

answers are here, along with dazzling, one-of-a-kind color

photographs and beautiful hand-drawn illustrations of tools,

materials, and building techniques the ancient masters used. In his

foreword to the book, Egypt's Undersecretary of State for the Giza

Monuments Zahi Hawass explains the importance of understanding the

Great Pyramid as a straightforward construction project.
