Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Giza Plateau is home to the pyramids and the Great Sphinx, and it is the most visited place in Egypt. However, the abundance of granite used in the building of these structures is problematic, given the rudimentary level of skill that existed in dynastic Egypt.

#2 The Giza Plateau is the site of the pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramid, the crowning glory of the plateau, was built on the scale of Arizona’s Hoover Dam. It is as if some ancient civilization’s Department of the Interior decided to build not one dam but three, all within a quarter mile of each other, and then coat two of them with granite.

#3 The third pyramid has retained a greater portion of its casing stones than the other two, and it boasts a granite pavement of megalithic proportions. Each pavement stone is nearly four feet high.

#4 The granite blocks that litter the Giza landscape were probably scavenged by scavenger crews that tried to harvest the pyramid crop. Prior to the eighteenth century, the pyramids were likely to have been derelict structures.
