April release on John Romer book on Great Pyramid
Cambridge University Press have a new title due for release in April: The Great Pyramid: Ancient Egypt Revisited, by John Romer. The book will aim to provide a comprehensive account of the design and construction of one of the world’s most remarkable structures. John Romer, a veteran archaeologist who has worked in Egypt and the Middle East for over four decades, provides information that aims to provide a new perspective on how the Great Pyramid was constructed.
I haven't yet seen the book, but I look forward to hearing a lot more about it in the not too distant future.
