What Were the Pyramids? (Library Binding)

Over time, historians have been able to answer these questions through examining artifacts that have been found inside and by analyzing mummified bodies and attempting to identify the people buried inside. This book provides readers with information conveyed through text and full-color photographs. Fact boxes and sidebars supplement the text and give further insight into what these historical structures were used for.
