The Great Pyramid（ISBN=9780521871662） pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　The Great Pyramid's eerily precise architecture has for

centuries both astounded and puzzled archaeologists and has given

rise to numerous modern fantasies concerning the so-called 'Mystery

of the Pyramids'. Sweeping away centuries of myth and confusion,

John Romer describes for the first time exactly how the Great

Pyramid was designed and built. He argues that the pyramid makers

worked from a single plan whose existence has long been doubted and

even denied by scholars. Moreover, the Great Pyramid's unique

architecture is integral to the way it was built, and for its

builders the tasks of construction and design were not separate as

they are now. By placing this awesome monument in its genuine

contemporary context, this book underlines the extraordinary

talents and the originality of the ancient Egyptians at the time of

King Khufu.
