"“The most remarkable piece of ground in the World” W. M. Flinders Petrie 1883 The Pyramid Complexes of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure have stood on the Giza Plateau for 4,600 years. They have been scientifically studied for the last 300 years; yet this is the first book that brings together all three into one volume. Here is a complete detailed look at the Giza pyramids and their complexes – the Sphinx, subsidiary pyramids, temples, boat pits, and enclosures. The descriptions are supplemented by almost 300 photos and drawings to provide the reader a detail look which can only be surpassed by being there in person with a very knowledgeable guide. In addition Charles Rigano provides new ideas on: • How Khufu was interred in his Great Pyramid. • How the first robbers gained entry and robbed Khufu’s pyramid. • How Caliph Al Mamun in 820AD really penetrated the Great Pyramid. • Why Heterpheres “tomb” is at Giza. • Why there is a field of stone bases near Khafre’s Pyramid. • The initial smaller plan for Khafre’s Pyramid. • Conclusive evidence that ties the Sphinx to Khafre. • How Menkaure’s Burial Chamber and Inclined Passage were built."

Review "...the most exhaustive work ever published on its subject matter.""...the book's special value certainly lies with its nearly 300 photos, maps, plans, and other graphics...that show the reader views and places never published before..." KMT Magazine Summer 2015
About the Author Many contemporary authors focus only on the Great Pyramid and consider what might be possible. Charles Rigano focuses on the archaeological record to see where it leads him. He has been studying Old Kingdom architecture for 25 years and his earlier articles on the Bent Pyramid interior, Sneferu's pyramid at Meidum, the small subsidiary pyramid recently uncovered near Khufu's Pyramid, and on pyramid building all provided new insights on these old subjects. His ideas and proposals are in keeping with conventional Egyptological thinking. Charles Rigano spent seven years researching and writing this book. He studied the writings of ancient travelers, what early scientists found when they first entered the pyramids and when they uncovered the monuments, and the works of modern Egyptologists. He combined this research with his own on-site observations to form this complete “picture” of the ancient Giza monuments.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Passion for Pyramids By Bonnie Sampsell Like thousands of others, I am an Egyptophile and have studied ancient Egypt for more than two decades. Some of us first became fascinated by mummies, for others Akhenaten was the lure; but many of us developed a passion for pyramids. This preoccupation led us to read all we could find on the subject, and, for those who were able, to visit the monuments themselves. I wish a book like this had been available twenty years ago!Charles Rigano’s book on the Pyramids of Giza performs a valuable service by drawing together an immense amount of information from sources ranging from the earliest explorers to the latest archaeological discoveries. I will quote a few numbers to show what an enormous contribution he has made on this popular topic. Among his 222 references are many that are out of print or available only in specialized libraries, while his 400+ endnotes testify to the rigor of his research and allow a curious reader to penetrate further into the primary literature.Rigano supplements his literature review with first-hand observations – made during a number of extended visits – to provide vivid descriptions and a large number of photographs of seldom-seen areas. His decision to devote an entire 220 page book to the three Giza pyramid complexes was made after his long, and often frustrating, study of the available pyramid books. Even the most comprehensive of these treat the entire Giza group in fewer than 30 pages. There is much, much more to learn about the Giza pyramids, and Rigano both provides more information about each pyramid as well as treating the entire plateau as a coherent funerary site developed over the reigns of three Dynasty IV kings. The book includes information about the subsidiary pyramids, temples and causeways, the Sphinx, and building technology. He also offers new ideas about some outstanding mysteries while staying well within the conventional Egyptological canon as supported by archaeological findings.Anyone who has seen the pyramids, will want to read this book to better understand their own observations and to see what they have missed. Arm-chair travelers will find everything they could want to know in a concise, readable format illustrated with hundreds of excellent photographs and diagrams. If you only buy one more book about pyramids, this should be the one!!

An informative read on pyramid construction By Doricini This book about the Giza pyramid complexes is not so much a how or why description but a more a what was done during the building and investigation of these structures.You won't read if the stone blocks were moved by slaves, hired help, or aliens. And there isn't much conjecture as to the purpose of say the Queen' s Chamber. But there is a notation that a number of the lower courses of blocks are of a different dimension than those above.I only gave this book four stars due to its graphics. There needs to be more drawings and the black and white photos can be difficult to understand.

By Isshin The author does an excellent job of researching and presenting information about the Giza Plateau. The book is filled with photographs and diagrams that help explain his assertions.This is a welcome addition for anyone interested in the Great Pyramids and Sphinx.
