Pyramids of the Giza Plateau: Pyramid Complexes of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure
()
About this ebook
W. M. Flinders Petrie 1883
The Pyramid Complexes of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure have stood on the Giza Plateau for 4,600 years. They have been scientifically studied for the last 300 years; yet this is the first book that brings together all three into one volume.
Here is a complete detailed look at the Giza pyramids and their complexes the Sphinx, subsidiary pyramids, temples, boat pits, and enclosures. The descriptions are supplemented by almost 300 photos and drawings to provide the reader a detail look which can only be surpassed by being there in person with a very knowledgeable guide.
In addition Charles Rigano provides new ideas on:
How Khufu was interred in his Great Pyramid.
How the first robbers gained entry and robbed Khufus pyramid.
How Caliph Al Mamun in 820AD really penetrated the Great Pyramid.
Why Heterpheres tomb is at Giza.
Why there is a field of stone bases near Khafres Pyramid.
The initial smaller plan for Khafres Pyramid.
Conclusive evidence that ties the Sphinx to Khafre.
How Menkaures Burial Chamber and Inclined Passage were built.
Charles Rigano
Many contemporary authors focus only on the Great Pyramid and consider what might be possible. Charles Rigano focuses on the archaeological record to see where it leads him. He has been studying Old Kingdom architecture for 25 years and his earlier articles on the Bent Pyramid interior, Sneferu’s pyramid at Meidum, the small subsidiary pyramid recently uncovered near Khufu’s Pyramid, and on pyramid building all provided new insights on these old subjects. His ideas and proposals are in keeping with conventional Egyptological thinking. Charles Rigano spent seven years researching and writing this book. He studied the writings of ancient travelers, what early scientists found when they first entered the pyramids and when they uncovered the monuments, and the works of modern Egyptologists. He combined this research with his own on-site observations to form this complete “picture” of the ancient Giza monuments.
