When construction project manager Chris Massey set off on a surprise trip to Egypt it seemed he was in for a relaxing time—a cruise down the Nile, a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, sunbathing by the Red Sea and guided tours of the most spectacular ancient structures in the world...But wherever he looked, he saw problems with the perceived wisdom on how the pyramids, temples and tombs of the pharaohs were built:
Surely there must have been an easier way? Massey looked around him and saw the greatest resource available to the Egyptians—the waters of the mighty Nile. This engaging account is the result of Massey's pool-side ponderings, in which he gives a detailed alternative theory of how the ancient Egyptians could have used water to their advantage to make pyramid building much easier.
Chris Massey has lived and breathed construction since he was born: his parents ran a construction company and he spent his holidays in builders' yards. In his first building job he worked his way up to foreman and gained a reputation as a problem solver, and by the age of 30 he was co-owner of the company. Chris lives in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
