Description

• exposé

C h a p t e r  Egyptian Technology Over the years, many theories have been advanced to try to explain the methods of construction which were used to build the pyramids and also to explain the numerous artifacts which have either been found in the pyramids or associated with them. In general, the basis for each of the many theories has been the assumption that thousands of years ago when the pyramids were built, civilization must still have been in its infancy.
