Pyramid by Peter Chrisp (Experience)

Presents the history of Egypt's pyramids, detailing how and why Khufu's Great Pyramid was designed and built at Giza, and tells how and when the pyramids were excavated.

Chrisp guides readers through a graphic path of storyboard text superimposed on full-color illustrations to show the steps involved in building and the history behind the Great Pyramid of Giza. A discussion of the settlement of the Nile, a catalog of tools used in the construction, a description of the steps taken when a pharaoh died, mummification, the rediscovery of the tombs and their secrets, illustrations of the treasures found within them, and a catalog of the pyramids of the world make this a comprehensive study of the subject.
