During the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2650-2135 BC), the most impressive of all monuments were built in the form of the pyramids and their associated temples. The provision of enormous quantities of stone from suitable quarries was the most important requirement for their construction. This volume comprises short archaeological descriptions of the pyramids and their enclosures and determines the exact origin of the building material (above all limestone) from a total of 26 pyramids through a petrographic and geochemical comparison with samples from other quarries.

What do the pyramids of Egypt really represent? What could have driven so many to so great, and often so dangerous, an effort? Was the motivation religious or practical? Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and drawings, this book presents an original approach to the subject of pyramid building. It reveals the connection between devices that served both a practical need for survival and a spiritual belief in gods and goddesses. It examines Egyptian technologies and techniques from the origins of pyramid development to the step-by-step details of how the ground was leveled, how the site was oriented, and how the stone was raised and placed to meet at a distant point in the sky. Here the author also asks and answers questions virtually ignored for the last century. He discloses, for example, the ancient use of shadows, now denigrated to the ornamental back-yard sundial, but once an important tool for telling the height of an object, geographical directions, the seasons of the year, and the time of day. He also reinterprets the ancient "stretching of the cord" ceremony, which once was thought to have only religious significance but here is shown as the means of establishing the sides of a pyramid.

"Floating Stones" presents a revolutionary theory about the construction of the Great Pyramid, challenging long-held beliefs about ramps, slave labor, and alien intervention. An architect and engineer unveil their audacious idea: the pyramid was built by harnessing the power of water flow. Based on a decade of meticulous research, they propose that the ancient Egyptians utilized buoyant forces and ingenious hydraulic systems to transport massive stones with remarkable efficiency. Readers will embark on a thrilling journey into ancient ingenuity, discovering how this radical concept could have transformed engineering. As history, science, and architectural wonder intertwine, prepare to reconsider the capabilities of the ancient Egyptians. "Floating Stones" is more than just a book; it's an invitation to challenge conventional wisdom and ignite a deeper appreciation for the wonders of engineering. Inspiring a sense of awe and curiosity about our collective past, it calls us to explore the limits of innovation and the untold stories that have shaped our world. Prepare to unlock the secrets of the ancients and the power of human imagination.

In Engineering the Pyramids, author Dick Parry - a civil engineer - assesses the design of the pyramids and the likely methods of quarrying, transporting and raising the stones. Basing his ideas on both the archaeological record and the basic principles of engineering - as well as the results from a series of model and full-scale tests - Dr. Parry provides a challenging answer to this mystery of the pyramids. He suggests that ramps were used and the huge stones were transported and raised by rolling them, rather than using highly inefficient sledges beloved of Egyptologists. Engineering the Pyramids provides a rich and accessible account of the design history of the pyramids, the techniques and organisation needed to bring about these heroic feats of effort and engineering and fascinating insights into the reasons behind the pyramid design.
