Building the Great Pyramid (of Giza) by Jackson et.,
By Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca CPA,... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Building the Great Pyramid (Hardcover)
The book describes in great detail the likely approach tobuilding the Great Pyramid of Giza or one of the 8 wonders of the world. The work describes building techniques of Sneferu and provides numerous pictures of pyramidal structures. It explains how priests or Thoth presided over formal ceremonies. In addition, there is a picture showing how Khufu utilized a pendulum to align the pyramid with the stars. The work is a marvel which depicts life in Egypt over 4000 years ago. There are descriptions showing how Hemiunce supervised the building of the pyramids utilizing dozens of men to haul pieces of stone up to 2 tons in weight. This book is a "must read" for Egyptologists, world history enthusiasts, mathematicians/engineers, sociologists and a host of other professions. This work could be utilized in a large class project or school presentation. It is highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Pure fiction,
By Jack Flack (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building the Great Pyramid (Paperback)
Presents the traditional mainstream theory that the GP was a tomb, a theory that fails to explain any of the interior features of the pyramid and a theory that has no evidentiary support. If thinking for yourself is difficult for you, you may enjoy this book. On the other hand, if you have the capacity for independent thought, this book will be a disappointment. Read Christopher Dunn's The Giza Power Plant if you're capable of thinking logically.
