The Great Pyramid Giza by Louis P. McCarty is a comprehensive guide to one of the most iconic structures in human history. The book provides a detailed account of the construction, purpose, and significance of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the largest of the three pyramids in the Giza complex, located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt.The book begins with an overview of the historical context in which the pyramid was built, including the political and cultural climate of ancient Egypt. It then delves into the technical aspects of the pyramid's construction, including the materials and tools used, the layout and design of the pyramid, and the methods used to transport the massive blocks of stone to the construction site.The author also explores the various theories and speculations surrounding the purpose of the pyramid, including its use as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, as well as its possible astronomical and spiritual significance. The book also looks at the various myths and legends that have arisen around the pyramid over the centuries, including tales of hidden treasure and secret chambers.Throughout the book, McCarty provides a wealth of fascinating details and insights into the Great Pyramid of Giza, making it an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history, architecture, or Egyptology.1907. Answers to the questions, Why was the Great Pyramid built? By whom was it built? and About when was it built? With numerous plates, charts, and illustrations. The author believes that the pyramid was built by a race of people that preceded ours, with vastly more intelligence than we now possess, or are likely to attain in the next one hundred years to come, and that it was built for an �������Initiatory Asylum������� from which all �������secret orders������� of today are partial imitations. Further, the �������Secret organization������� of men who built the pyramids ruled the entire world and established an international code of weights and measures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
