Technology & Architecture in Ancient Civilizations[series info]

Egyptian Monumental Structures

Because Egyptians in the Ancient Era believed their pharaohs to be gods, they built monumental structures in which to bury them and celebrate them as immortal. Witness the amazing technologies of the oldest tomb for Thutmose I and Hatshepsut`s temple in the Valley of Kings. Marvel at the scale of the temple at Karnak, Ramses the Great`s statues at Abu Simbel, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, and the Sphinx, all of which were defaced and vandalized after completion.
