The Great Pyramid

Description

Elizabeth Mann. Nearly 50 stories high, the Great Pyramid was built more than 4,500 years ago, made from over 2,300,000 giant stone blocks and constructed by primitive farmers. The true story of the Great Pyramid is even more fascinating than the speculation. Tens of thousands of farmers left home each year to chisel hard stone without iron tools and move 10-ton blocks up steep grades without the use of a wheel, all to the glory of the Pharaoh. 44 illustrations and photos. Middle to upper grades. 48 pages; paper; Mikaya Press.
