Corinna Rossi explores the use of numbers and geometrical figures
by the Ancient Egyptians in their architectural projects and
buildings. Whereas previous architectural studies have searched for
"universal rules" to explain the entire history of Egyptian
architecture, Rossi reconciles the approaches of architectural
historians and archaeologists by testing architectural theories.
This book is essential reading for all scholars of Ancient Egypt
and the architecture of ancient cultures.
