The extraordinary mysteries of the pyramids - revealed

From the development of monumental architecture around 3,000 BC to the fabulous edifices that rose up from the desert plains of Giza, these are amongst the most remarkable structures in world history.

Their story has given rise to a set of incredible legends: spaceships, ley lines, mysterious goings on Is it fact or fiction? Joyce Tyldesley, writer, lecturer and broadcaster on Ancient Egypt, cuts away modern myth and prejudice to reveal the truth behind these astonishing structures.

The Old Kingdom pharaohs believed that death was the beginning of eternal life. To help them on their way they built pyramids; huge ramps or stairways charged with the most potent magic, leading directly to the sky.

Pyramids chronicles how and why Egypt's pharaohs built on so grand a scale, and shows how the pyramids helped to build Egypt itself.

'A fascinating survey For anyone who wants to know about pyramids, this is required reading' Spectator

'Tyldesley sets out to fill the gap between Egyptologists' reserve, the excesses of tour guides and misinformed traditions [she] should be required reading.' Sunday Times
