Synopsis

Everyone from the mighty king to the lowly water carrier claims to have built the pyramid. Discover the part each played in this story of a real pyramid set over 4000 years ago. Written from a social, human perspective, this title shows that history is made up of the experiences of many different people and no single account is the "truth". An eight-page reference section at the back continues the story of Senwosret's pyramid with photographs, maps, hieroglyphs and facts and information about this ancient monument.
