ISBN: 9781108065764 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Among the leading Egyptologists of his day, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853 1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of archaeologists.

Theories abounded as to how the Great Pyramid had been constructed, yet few were based on close examination of the structure itself. Petrie's findings, still used as a reference today, enabled him to disprove prominent theories, such as the belief of Charles Piazzi Smyth that the Great Pyramid was a product of...
