Having worked on projects around the world, strengthening and
restoring historically significant structures from Windsor Castle to
the parliament buildings in Canada, Peter James brings insight to the
structural engineering of ancient Egypt. After fourteen years working
on the historic buildings and temples of Egypt, and most recently the
world’s oldest pyramid, he now presents some of the more common
theories surrounding the ‘collapsing’ pyramid – along with new
and innovative projections on the construction of the pyramids and the
restoration of some of Cairo’s most monumental structures from the
brink of ruin. The decoding of historic construction from a
builder’s perspective is examined and explained – at times against
many existing theories – and the book provides a new outlook on
long-held assumptions, to embrace modern theories in a bid to preserve
the past.
