Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians had no cranes or other advanced lifting devices. Yet they managed to build the tallest structures the world would see until modern times. These great engineering feats--three gigantic pyramids--still tower above the desert sands at Giza, near Egypt's capital, Cairo. Correlates with STEM instruction. Includes glossary, websites, and bibliography for further reading.
