Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For more than four thousand years, the pyramids of Egypt have stood as the most extraordinary monuments ever created by human hands. Rising from the desert plateau, these colossal structures continue to inspire awe, admiration, and endless debate. Yet behind their beauty lies a deeper question-how did an ancient civilization move millions of tons of stone and assemble them with remarkable precision thousands of years ago? And how did they accomplish it within the timeframes traditionally assigned to the Old Kingdom?The Pyramid Problem explores the engineering realities behind Egypt's most famous monuments. Moving beyond legend and speculation, this book examines the pyramids as construction projects-analyzing the logistics of quarrying, transport, workforce organization, and the relentless mathematics of building at monumental scale. Drawing on archaeology, engineering analysis, and the historical record, it reveals how the pyramid age emerged, how rapidly it developed, and why these ancient achievements still challenge modern understanding. For readers fascinated by ancient Egypt, archaeology, and the limits of human ingenuity, this book offers a compelling new way to look at the world's greatest monuments. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
