Wie konnten in einer noch sehr archaischen Gesellschaft einige der imposantesten Bauwerke der Menschheit entstehen? Der Bau der sieben Großpyramiden der klassischen ägyptischen Pyramidenzeit ist trotz intensiver Forschung und umfangreicher Literatur bis heute mit großen Unsicherheiten behaftet, etwa in Bezug auf Vermessung, Steintransport, Beherrschung der Geometrie, Baumasse und Arbeitstakt. Die hier vorgestellten, reich illustrierten Rekonstruktionen analysieren auf innovative Weise alle Phasen und Baustellen des Pyramidenprogramms. Dabei bezieht der Autor einen ethnoarchäologischen Ansatz ein, nämlich den kulturellen Kontext der traditionellen Architekturpraxis der Region, mit dem er durch langjährige Projektarbeit im Jemen vertraut ist. How could some of mankind's most impressive structures have been built by a still very archaic society? Despite intensive research and an extensive literature, the construction of the seven great pyramids of the Classical Egyptian Pyramid Period is still subject to great uncertainty, for example with regard to measurement, stone transport, mastery of geometry, building mass and work cycles. The lavishly illustrated reconstructions presented here analyse all phases and sites of the pyramid programme in an innovative way. The author adopts an ethnoarchaeological approach, taking into account the cultural context of traditional architectural practice in the region, with which he is familiar from many years of project work in Yemen.
