The Pyramid Builder: Cheops, The Man Behind The Great Pyramid

Four and a half thousand years ago, Cheops, great King of Egypt, ordered a pyramid to be built at Giza, on the outskirts of the modern city of Cairo, as his eternal resting place. Its grandeur has fascinated and baffled archaeologists and writers ever since. How could one man have built this awe-inspiring structure? And why?

Now, in a startling and original new study, Christine El Mahdy examines the archaeological evidence afresh. Using a simple and logical explanation never suggested before, she explains the way in which the pyramids were built.

Using every fragment of information we can now start to see the shadowy Cheops, and understand for the very first time the truth about the man behind the pyramid.
