Product Description
The Pyramids of Giza are the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World that still stands today. Defying the centuries, these gigantic tombs, built more than 4,500 years ago by three great pharaohs of the 4th Dynasty, have long been objects of wonder, speculation and mystery, but it was not until the archaeological discoveries of the 19th century that a true picture of their fascinating history began to emerge. This pocket-sized, profusely illustrated book separates fact from fiction to tell the ongoing story of the Great Pyramids.

Customer Reviews
so much useful info in such a small package!
Brilliant, concise and full of useful information - just made me want to go back and visit the pyramids all over again.
Our recent trip there as part of a cruise, did not allow nearly enough time to really "see" these amazing monuments.
