Las Montañas de Los Faraones

Almost five thousand years ago, the fourth dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt reigned over a highly advanced civilization. Considered gods, the royal family lived surrounded by colossal palaces and temples built to honor them and their deified ancestors. World-renowned archaeologist Zahi Hawass weaves a fascinating narrative about how the pyramids were built and why. In this work, Zahi Hawass brings these extraordinary historical figures to life and narrates a saga worthy of a novel, with murders, incest, and the triumphant ascension to the throne of one of the only four queens who ruled Egypt. It was during this dynasty that the magnificent pyramids of Giza were built. These monuments bear witness not only to the supreme power of the dynasty, but also to the engineering expertise and architectural sophistication that flourished under its rule.
