内容説明
Throughout history people have marvelled at the pyramids, from the
elemental beauty of the Step Pyramid of Djoser to the monumental scale
and engineering achievement of the Great Pyramid in Giza. The knowledge
needed to build such grand monuments was vast, but not acquired
overnight. The precursors to the pyramids, the massive mud brick tombs
of the First and Second Dynasties, reveal a high degree of proficiency,
ingenuity and capability by the architects, engineers and builders of
that time. These mud brick structures, built almost five centuries
before the Giza pyramids, reveal a structured and well organised society
with well developed construction and management skills. In fact, the
construction time and labour force requirements in these earlier
structures were efficient and small in comparison to ventures in the
proceeding Dynasties. It is through these structures - and the
development of the skills and diversity of industries required to
sustain the building of them - that the foundation for the economic and
social development of future generations and the dawn of large scale
stone construction was laid.
