The Great Pyramid : ancient Egypt revisited /
:
The Great Pyramid's eerily precise architecture has for centuries both astounded and puzzled archaeologists and has given rise to numerous modern fantasies concerning the so-called 'Mystery of the Pyramids'. Sweeping away centuries of myth and confusion, the author describes for the first time exactly how the Great Pyramid was designed and built. He argues that the pyramid makers worked from a single plan whose existence has long been doubted and even denied by scholars. Moreover, the Great Pyramid's unique architecture is integral to the way it was built, and for its builders the tasks of construction and design were not separate as they are now. By placing this awesome monument in its genuine contemporary context, this book underlines the extraordinary talents and the originality of the ancient Egyptians at the time of King Khufu.

Tomb security in ancient Egypt from the Predynastic to the Pyramid Age /
:
Egyptians went to great lengths to protect their dead from the omnipresent threat of robbery by incorporating specially developed architectural features in their tombs. However, the architecture of tomb security has rarely been studied as a subject in its own right and is usually treated as a secondary topic in publications of a scholarly nature, which tend to regard its role as incidental to the design of the tomb rather than perhaps being the driving force behind it. This issue had been raised in the early Twentieth Century by Reisner (1908: 11), who suggested that the rapid evolution of Egyptian tomb substructures was as a result of the desire for tomb security and more ostentatious tombs, rather than a development spurred by religious or funerary practices.

L'ère des géants : une description détaillée des grandes pyramides d'Egypte /
:
Dans L'ère des Géants, c'est toute la période du gigantisme en architecture qui est exaltée : Franck Monnier étudie chacune des grandes pyramides dans l'ordre chronologique qui a présidé à leur apparition au cours des IIIe et IVe dynasties, du complexe de Djéser qui en marque l'origine, au complexe de Khéphren qui en représente l'apogée. Si l'ouvrage, avant tout une étude architecturale, repose pour l'essentiel sur l'état de, archéologie, il interroge également la documentation iconographique, textuelle et épigraphique qui vient considérablement enrichir le propos. Les dernières découvertes, dans le domaine de la papyrologie notamment, sont intégrées à l'argument.
