Summary:
The
Secret
of the
Great
Pyramid
moves between the
ancient
and the modern. The
ancient
story chronicles, step-by-step,
how
a nation of farmers only recently emerged from the Stone Age could construct
one
of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient
World. To execute something as complex and massive as the
Great
Pyramid
,
Egypt
needed architects, mathematicians, boat builders, stone masons, and metallurgists. It took twenty years to build the
Great
Pyramid
. By the time its capstone was laid in 2560 B.C., the innovations born of the building quest had transformed agrarian
Egypt
into the world'
s
most modern, most powerful nation.
