Miten pyramidit rakennettiin?

Kuinka muinaiset kansat onnistuivat rakentamaan valtavia kivirakennelmia alkeellisella tekniikalla? Kuvanveistäjä Harri Kivijärvi (1931–201) kertoo aiheesta taiteilijan näkemyksen. Hän oli perehtynyt kivenkäsittelyn perinteeseen lukuisilla matkoillaan ja osallistunut arkeologien työhön.

How did ancient peoples manage to build colossal stone structures using primitive technology? The sculptor Harry Kivijärvi (1931–2010) offers us an artist’s view of this question. He delved into the traditions of stone working on numerous journeys and participated in the work of archaeologists.

How Were the pyramids Built? was originally published in Finnish by Otava Publishing Company Ltd in 1990 under the title Miten pyramidit rakennettiin? This volume is a new edition of a classic work that reveals the secrets of ancient monuments in Kivijärvi’s own words and pictures. The present volyme consist of an English translation of the original text with minor adjustments together with a new Introduction, also in English.
