A unique study of the engineering and tools used to create Egyptian monuments
•
Presents a stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including
the statues of Ramses II and the tunnels of the Serapeum
• Reveals that highly refined tools and mega-machines were used in ancient Egypt
From
the pyramids in the north to the temples in the south, ancient artisans
left their marks all over Egypt, unique marks that reveal craftsmanship
we would be hard pressed to duplicate today. Drawing together the
results of more than 30 years of research and nine field study journeys
to Egypt, Christopher Dunn presents a stunning stone-by-stone analysis
of key Egyptian monuments, including the statue of Ramses II at Luxor
and the fallen crowns that lay at its feet. His modern-day engineering
expertise provides a unique view into the sophisticated technology used
to create these famous monuments in prehistoric times.
Using
modern digital photography, computer-aided design software, and
metrology instruments, Dunn exposes the extreme precision of these
monuments and the type of advanced manufacturing expertise necessary to
produce them.
His computer analysis of the statues of Ramses II reveals
that the left and right sides of the faces are precise mirror images of
each other, and his examination of the mysterious underground tunnels of
the Serapeum illuminates the finest examples of precision engineering
on the planet. Providing never-before-seen evidence in the form of more
than 280 photographs, Dunn’s research shows that while absent from the
archaeological record, highly refined tools, techniques, and even
mega-machines must have been used in ancient Egypt.
