Summary:
De nombreuses interrogations demeurent aujourd'hui encore sur les méthodes de construction des pyramides, et surtout sur les raisons qui ont poussé les anciens Egyptiens à bâtir ces monuments majestueux. Des recherches récentes ont permis d'apporter des informations nouvelles permettant de répondre à ces questions. Signé par le secrétaire général du Conseil suprême des antiquités d'Egypte, par ailleurs égyptologue de renommée mondiale, ce livre nous informe des toutes dernières données archéologiques découvertes sur le plateau de Gizeh. Elles permettent au Dr Zahi Hawass de défendre la théorie selon laquelle ces pyramides - y compris la Grande Pyramide de Khéops, la seule des Sept Merveilles du monde encore debout - furent construites non par des esclaves, mais par des ingénieurs, des contremaîtres, des artisans et des ouvriers spécialisés, qui ont mené ces chantiers gigantesques et surhumains avec art et fierté.
