When we find something new at Giza, we announce it to the world. The Sphinx and the Pyramids are world treasures. We are the guardian's of these treasures, but they belong to the world. - Zahi Hawass, Egyptologist
The age and structural integrity of the pyramids also make them symbols of longevity and power, which is only fitting because those are two purposes the ancient pharaohs who commissioned these works intended them to serve. For the pharaohs, the construction of these large monuments presented an opportunity for them to showcase their influence and become something to be remembered by, both in the society they ruled and in the annals of history that would follow. Even as new dynasties came and went, and even as Egypt was subjected to foreign domination and rulers from across the world, the pyramids have continued to stand as a prominent testament to Ancient Egypt's glorious past.
The Egyptian Pyramids: The Origins and History of the World's Most Famous Monuments comprehensively covers the origins, history, mysteries, and theories surrounding the ancient monuments. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about the pyramids like you never have before, in no time at all.
