Bob Brier, Jean-Pierre Houdin - The Secret of the Great Pyramid: How

One Man's Obsession Led to the Solution of Ancient Egypt's Greatest

Mystery



Nine years ago, French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin became obsessed by

the centuries-old mystery of how the Great Pyramid was built. For ten

hours a day, he labored at his computer to create exquisitely detailed

3-D models of the interior of the Great Pyramid. After five years of

effort, the images rotating on his computer screen provided evidence of

an astonishing secret. Corkscrewing up the inside of the Great Pyramid

is a mile-long ramp, unseen for 4,500 years. The pyramid was built from

the inside. This revelation casts a fresh light on the minds that

conceived one of the wonders of the ancient world.

The Secret of the Great Pyramid moves between the ancient and the

modern. The ancient story chronicles, step-by-step, how a nation of

farmers only recently emerged from the Stone Age could construct one of

the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. To execute something as complex

and massive as the Great Pyramid, Egypt needed architects,

mathematicians, boat builders, stone masons, and metallurgists. It took

twenty years to build the Great Pyramid. By the time its capstone was

laid in 2560 B.C., the innovations born of the building quest had

transformed agrarian Egypt into the world's most modern, most powerful

nation.

As we follow the progress of Hemienu, the innovative architect who

planned, organized, and oversaw construction of the Great Pyramid, we

also follow Houdin working to discover how and why the ancient

architect designed the Pyramid as he did. Houdin works as a forensic

architect, aiming to reconstruct the lessons Hemienu had learned from

construction of three previous pyramids and to visualize his blueprint

for the massive stone building. In the process, Houdin also discovers

the answers to other questions that have bedeviled Egyptologists for

centuries: such as what was the purpose of the mysterious Grand Gallery

and when did the Pyramid crack? Along the way, Houdin receives the

support of a pathbreaking French software company, which helps him

validate his theory virtually梐 first in archaeology!

The story of genius and obsession in the ancient and modern world, this

archaeological mystery will appeal to anyone who has ever been

captivated by this magnificent edifice.
