Solving the mysteries of the pyramids - Fiona Macdonald

The Ancient Egyptian pyramids along the river Nile are one of the wonders of the world. These world famous sites are places where ancient history
can
still be explored today. These monuments have puzzled and
fascinated archaeologists and historians for hundreds of years. Solving the Mysteries of the Pyramids explores these
amazing ruins and looks in detail at other famous sites, such as the Great Sphinx and at the culture of mummifying the dead; burying them with food, animals, gold, weapons and other offerings for the gods. The book fills in
the
details of how we think the
people who lived there at the time built
and used these amazing tombs. It also explains how some of the
archaeological discoveries were uncovered, which have helped to piece
together our understanding of this fascinating time.
