The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the great mysteries of history. How--and
why--were so many huge, heavy blocks stacked so high and so precisely? For
Secrets of Lost Empires: Pyramid, part of the
Secrets of Lost Empires series,
Nova sent Egyptologist Mark Lehner and stonemason Roger Hopkins to Egypt to try (on a much smaller scale) to replicate the feat using the technology of the pharaohs. Follow the difficulties and frustrations they must face as they race time to build an 18-foot pyramid in just three weeks, and see for yourself how hard it must have been to get the job done over 4,000 years ago.
Nova knows how to tell a good story, and
Secrets of Lost Empires: Pyramid is sure to keep you riveted.
