Renowned specialists in archaeological and geological research on ancient Egyptian materials, the Klemm's investigate the provenance of both core and casing material of 17 Old Kingdom pyramids along the Nile Valley and their temple complexes. Under the watchful eye of authorities, they took enough samples from each structure to provide a statistical distribution pattern of their various quarry sites. Color photographs of the pyramids and their features, are provided, along with drawings and diagrams and micro-photographs comparing the small structure of samples from the pyramids and the quarries. They have not indexed their study. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
