Nearly 50 stories high, The Great Pyramid was built more than 4,500 years ago, made from over 2,300,00 giant stone blocks and constructed by primitive farmers. Some believe aliens from outer space created it, but the true story of the Great Pyramid is even more fascinating than the speculation.
A nation of farmers living on the green edge of a harsh desert had a king who was a god in life and death. Tens of thousands of farmers left their homes each year to chisel hard stone without iron tools and move 10-ton blocks up steep grades without the use of a wheel.
Elizabeth Mann captures the marvel that is The Great Pyramid and the people that built it. She tells the story of a world that is strange, distant and yet poignantly human. In the process, The Great Pyramid and the Old Kingdom become more than dusty remnants of an ancient civilization; they come alive.
Laura Lo Turco's shimmering paintings are a perfect visual complement to the text, combining reality with a sense of awe and mystery. Photographs of haunting 4,500-year old walls and statues let Ancient Egypt remind the young reader that these people were indeed real.
Wonders of the World series
The winner of numerous awards, this series is renowned for Elizabeth Mann's ability to convey adventure and excitement while revealing technical information in engaging and easily understood language. The illustrations are lavishly realistic and accurate in detail but do not ignore the human element. Outstanding in the genre, these books are sure to bring even the most indifferent young reader into the worlds of history, geography, and architecture.
"One of the ten best non-fiction series for young readers."

reviewed The Great Pyramid: The Story of the Farmers, the God-King and the Most Astonding Structure Ever Built on February 04, 2015 The Great Pyramid: The Story of the Farmers, the God-King and the Most Astonding Structure Ever Built
This book is a great book for children to learn about the pyramid. I on the other hand, being an adult in college, also thoroughly enjoyed this book! There are two pages in this book that both open up to show a picture of the pyramid construction site that is 4 pages long, and it is amazing! It has little fun facts about the pyramid and its workers in various spots on the picture. I had fun reading it, and could think of a lot of fun activities for children to do after reading this book. I highly recommend this book!
