Saving the Pyramids by Peter James
This book provides new and innovative theories into the construction of Egypt's ancient pyramids and the restoration of some of Cairo's most monumental structures from the brink of ruin. The decoding of their historic construction from a builder's perspective is examined and explained, often contrary to many existing theories.
"A history of the pyramids and the technical innovation that has gone into saving them is a fascinating combination that should interest all of us involved in building conservation. . . This book presents an extra dimension and interest, which again is a fascinating tale."--John Edwards, University of Wales Trinity Saint David
