englischHow could some of mankind's most impressive structures have been built by a still very archaic society? Despite intensive research and an extensive literature, the construction of the seven great pyramids of the Classical Egyptian Pyramid Period is still subject to great uncertainty, for example with regard to measurement, stone transport, mastery of geometry, building mass and work cycles. The lavishly illustrated reconstructions presented here analyse all phases and sites of the pyramid programme in an innovative way. The author adopts an ethnoarchaeological approach, taking into account the cultural context of traditional architectural practice in the region, with which he is familiar from many years of project work in Yemen.

"Leiermann’s book simultaneously rouses awe at the problem-solving skills of our ancestors and ambitions to build better and more sustainably in terms of duration and environmentally."
Professor Trevor H J Marchand, SOAS University of London, 2024
