Beschreibung
In the half-century between 1831 and 1881 three massive obelisks left Egypt, bound for Paris, London and New York. With no records of how obelisks had been moved in the past, the nineteenth-century engineers entrusted with transporting them across oceans had to invent new methods, and they were far from certain that they would work. The world held its breath. Bob Brier, renowned Egyptologist and author, recreates a turbulent era, caught up in obelisk mania, amid astounding tales of engineering dexterity and naval endurance. This compelling book will fascinate all those interested in Egypt, its iconic monuments and the history of great endeavour.
