Imagine standing on the desert plateau in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, overlooking the great Nile River. Around you, thousands of people are toiling under the scorching sun. Many are pulling massive stones up a steep slope, while others are busy chipping away at rocks with hammers and chisels. Year after year, a magnificent pyramid is finally built, this grand structure destined to endure a long and tumultuous future. The stories in this book are like a journey, but it's not an ordinary journey—you don't need to take a plane, car, or ship. In fact, you can travel through time without leaving your home! Open the book, and time flies by at your fingertips: hours, years, even centuries. Every moment—i.e., every stop in your journey—is a new chapter in the story: the initial design and construction process, the day the pharaoh's mummy was placed in the tomb, the later days of rampant tomb raiders, and the forgotten years—all telling the story of a pyramid.
