In ancient Egypt, a series of legendary pharaohs built the most iconic monuments in history, from pyramids that continue to inspire awe today to the Sphinx, history’s most enigmatic statue. For hundreds of years, generations of builders toiled on these structures, transforming the country and uniting its people in the hope of guaranteeing eternal life for their kings. Now, archeologists are unearthing 4,500-year-old secrets about these ambitious building projects and the rulers and peasants who created them.
