Temples, Tombs and Pyramids (Ancient Egypt) - Tapa dura

This book is all about the great building works of the industrious ancient Egyptians. It will explain how the pyramid design evolved from early step pyramids culminating in the Great Pyramid at Giza, the largest manmade structure on earth, and one of the wonders of the ancient world. Why were these great structures built and what techniques were used to build them? Explore the ruins of Egyptian temples, and discover the treasures found in their tombs to accompany the dead on their journey to the afterlife.
