Overview

In The Pyramids in a Nutshell, Charlotte Booth examines the evolution of Egyptian and Nubian pyramids, from simple mastaba tombs, through the glory days of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and on to lesser known pyramids. Topics covered include: who built the pyramids, how the pyramids were constructed, what they were used for and even the building complexes which surrounded them. From early burials, through stepped pyramids to true pyramids, and from the Old Kingdom to Nubia, this book is a perfectly balanced introduction to this fascinating topic. MadeGlobal's History in a Nutshell Series aims to give readers a good grounding in a historical topic in a concise, easily digestible and easily accessible way. Charlotte Booth has been teaching Egyptology, Archaeology and Hieroglyphs for 15 years and has also worked for the Supreme Council of Antiquities, in Cairo, and the American Research Center in Egypt, at Luxor. She has a BA and MA from University College London in Egyptian Archaeology and is currently studying towards her PhD at the University of Birmingham.
