Description

Powerful symbols of remote antiquity, the pyramids have intrigued and fascinated generations. In "The Complete Pyramids", newly available in paperback, Mark Lehner surveys the history, building and use of these fascinating and mysterious monuments in unprecedented scope and detail, looking at both the practical aspects - the quarries, ramps and tools used in building them - as well as the conceptual - the cosmology and iconography of the pyramids and the intriguing Pyramid Texts.
