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.

Excavations at the Seila Pyramid and Fag El-Gamous Cemetery /
:
In Excavations at the Seila Pyramid and Fag el-Gamous Cemetery, the excavation team provides crucial information about the Old Kingdom and Graeco-Roman Egypt. While both periods have been heavily studied, Kerry Muhlestein and his contributors provide new archaeological information that will help shape thinking about these eras. The construction and ritual features of the early Fourth Dynasty Seila Pyramid represents innovations that would influence royal funerary cult for hundreds of years. Similarly, as one of the largest excavated cemeteries of Egypt, Fag el-Gamous helps paint a picture of multi-cultural life in the Fayoum of Egypt during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Excavations there provide a statistically impactful understanding of funerary customs under the influence of new cultures and religion.

On the origins of the cartouche and encircling symbolism in Old Kingdom pyramids /
:
This study suggests the development of the cartouche was closely related to the monumental encircling symbolism incorporated into the architectural designs of the Old Kingdom pyramids. By employing a new architectural style and a new iconographic symbol, the pharaoh sought to elevate his status above that of the members of his powerful court.

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.
