Using both the archaeological record and the basic principles of engineering, this work proposes the Egyptians moved the stones of the pyramids into place by a system of rollers and ramps, not the sledges beloved of Egyptologists.

Using archaeological records and the basic principles of engineering, Dick Parry provides an account of the design history of the pyramids, the techniques and organization needed and insights into why the pyramids were designed as they were.

Dr R.H.G. Parry is an emeritus fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he was involved in research and teaching in civil engineering. He was General Secretary of the International Society for soil mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering from 1891 to 1999 and has a special interest in the history of civil engineering, on which he lectures worldwide.
