Customer Reviews

great hands-on approach!

This book covers the history of pyramids from Egyptian and Mayan pyramids to modern versions in Paris and Las Vegas. The descriptions and pictures are wonderful but the best parts are the projects. Learn how to make precise measurements, move loads (without wheels), find the North star, apply chemistry to pyramids, etc. etc.
