Sinopsis

Unlocking the secrets of Gizeh with careful measurements and careful, hands-on study.

The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh presents a detailed, interdisciplinary look at the great monuments near Cairo. It blends antiquarian detail with practical surveying methods to explain how the pyramids were planned, built, and explored. The work surveys inside and outside structures, documents instruments and techniques, and discusses the granite temple and surrounding remains in depth.


Readers will encounter sessions on co-ordinates, levels, and alignment, and will see how excavation, reconstruction, and interpretation unfold across the Great, Second, and Third Pyramids. The volume is richly illustrated and includes appendices that illuminate triangulation, error analysis, and data reduction, making it a resource for students of archaeology, surveying, and ancient architecture.



  • Clear explanations of how measurements and instruments guided pyramid construction and mapping.

  • Grounded descriptions of interior chambers, passages, and exterior features across multiple pyramids.

  • Insight into the Granite Temple, its causeway, and related remains around Gizeh.

  • Appendices and plates that document methods, data, and the evolution of surveying techniques.


Ideal for readers of archaeology and historic architecture who value both context and technical detail.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh

An investigation thus based on such different subjects is not only at a disadvantage in its reception, but also in its production. And if in one part or another, specialists may object to some result or suggestion, the plea must be the difficulty of making certain how much is known, and what is believed, on subjects so far apart and so much debated.
