4.0 out of 5 stars
Great intro to pyramids,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Great Pyramid: The story of the farmers, the god-king and the most astonding structure ever built (Wonders of the World Book) (Paperback)
We used this book in our homeschool studies of Ancient Egypt. This book is well written and nicely illustrated with a combination of vibrant watercolors and actual photographs. The middle of the book has a fold out panel that shows what the construction site of the Great Pyramid at Giza would have likely looked like. This book does a great job of explaining the spiritual significance of the pyramids as well as the changes in culture their construction brought to the Egyptian people. If you are looking for a book that explains exactly HOW the pyramids were built I higly suggest David Macaulay's book Pyramid. This amazing book uses hand drawn diagrams to explain how each level of the actual pyramid was built as well as the adjacent temples. AMAZING. While The Great Pyramid by Mann is easily understood by elementary students, they may need a little help understanding parts of Maculay's. The two books together provide a thorough understanding of these archaelogical wonders.
