The Great Pyramid: The story of the farmers, the god-king and the most astonding structure ever built (Wonders of the World Book)

This book paired perfectly with our study of The Old Kingdom of Egypt. We loved the fold out image that details the construction of The Great Pyramid of Giza. Excellent images to bring the time alive.

I staeted to restudy the history of the world and this very beautifully illustrated book is one of the favorite and even indispensable in my study of the world history.

Great supplement for homeschoolers! Easy to read & great pictures.

Interesting

It is well written, compelling, and has beautiful illustrations. A true pleasure to use as a history lesson for my 2nd grader.

Great condition

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.

The book was sold as "new" but appears to be used. The edges are curled and the back cover is bent.

Great condition! Great book!

perfect quality thanks
