Krátky popis
The inside story, told by the archaeological detectives themselves,
of the extraordinary discovery of the world's oldest papyri -
revealing how King Khufu's men built the Great Pyramid at Giza.
Pierre Tallet's discovery of the Red Sea Scrolls - the world's
oldest surviving written documents - in 2013 was one of the most
remarkable moments in the history of Egyptology. These papyri,
written some 4,600 years ago, combined with Mark Lehner's research
and theories, change what we thought we knew about the building of
the Great Pyramid at Giza.Here, for the first time, Tallet and
Lehner together give us the definitive account of this astounding
discovery. The story begins with Tallet's hunt for hieroglyphic
rock inscriptions in the Sinai Peninsula, leading up to the
discovery of the papyri - the diary of Inspector Merer, who oversaw
workers in the reign of Pharaoh Khufu - in Wadi el-Jarf, the site
of an ancient harbour on the Red Sea. The translation of the papyri
reveals for the first time exactly how the stones of the Great
Pyramid were transported to Giza.Combined with Lehner's excavations
of the recently unearthed harbour, the Red Sea Papyri have greatly
advanced our understanding of how the ancient Egyptians were able
to build monuments that survive to this day. Tallet and Lehner
narrate this thrilling discovery and explore how the building of
the pyramids helped create a unified state, propelling Egyptian
civilization forward. This lavishly illustrated book captures the
excitement and significance of these seminal findings, conveying
above all how astonishing it is to discover a contemporary
eye-witness testimony to the creation of the only remaining Wonder
of the Ancient World.With over 200 illustrations
