Decoding The Great Pyramid

The six million-ton Great Pyramid of Giza is the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. How did the Egyptians engineer the mighty pharaoh Khufu’s tomb so precisely, with none of today’s surveying and power tools? Who were the thousands of labourers who raised the stones? Were they slaves or volunteers, and how were they housed, fed, and organised? Decoding The Great Pyramid presents the latest evidence from ground-breaking archaeological research that has transformed our understanding of the ancient world’s most ambitious engineering project, revealing a ‘lost city’ and intimate details of the lives of the labourers and officials who toiled on the vast construction.
