Overview

No other manmade monuments command such curiosity, awe, and veneration as the pyramids of Egypt. Recent discoveries have shed new light on these mysterious ancient wonders, and this volume presents all the most important pyramids and the great Memphite necropolises in an exhaustive text that draws on the latest excavations and studies. Edited by Zahi Hawass, Egypt's leading archaeologist and director of the Giza and Saqqarah excavation sites, Pyramids contains contributions from the world's best-known Egyptologists and includes aerial photographs, maps, plans, and reconstructions. The result is a milestone of popular science that also celebrates the human spirit. AUTHOR: Zahi Hawass is Egypt's and perhaps the world's most famous archaeologist. He has made major discoveries at the Pyramids, appeared in numerous documentaries, published extensively, and earned many awards and honorary degrees. In 2006 he was named one of Time Magazine's Top 100 Most Influential People. ILLUSTRATIONS: 340 colour photographs
