Book Review: John Romer's The Great Pyramid
http://archaeology.about.com/od/oldkingdom/fr/romer.htm
See the above page for the full review, which includes a break down of each of the sections and what it offers, but here's an extract: "The Great Pyramid is awe-inspiring: the book expresses Romer's awe for the pyramid, and instills it deep within the reader. Romer realizes for the reader the complexities of inventing the ideal pyramid, such as evidence for the plans of the pyramid, drawn at a one-to-one scale on the ground surface at the Giza plateau. The amazing success of the intricate granite cobweb of passageways within the Great Pyramid are highlighted with the great previous failures. The ancient Egyptian concepts of death and the importance of keeping one's dead rulers in view are contemplated. Throughout, Romer's writing is impassioned."
Apologies to the person who emailed me recently asking if I had seen any reviews of this book - your email has apparently vanished, so I hope that you see this post.
