Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "The Problem of the Obelisks" is a definitive study on the remarkable engineering feats of ancient Egypt. This work investigates the methods by which the ancients quarried, transported, and erected their colossal stone monuments, which have fascinated travelers and scholars for millennia. At the heart of the study is the famous Unfinished Obelisk in the quarries of Aswan, which provides a unique window into the technical challenges and problem-solving skills of master builders thousands of years ago.Through detailed analysis and archaeological evidence, R. Engelbach addresses the long-standing mysteries surrounding the extraction of massive granite blocks and the precise mechanics used to move stones weighing hundreds of tons. The book explores the tools, logistics, and ingenuity required to transform raw stone into the elegant, towering symbols of power that defined the Egyptian landscape. Readers will gain deep insight into the sophisticated understanding of physics and labor organization possessed by Egyptian craftsmen. "The Problem of the Obelisks" remains an essential resource for those interested in archaeology, ancient technology, and the enduring architectural legacy of the Nile Valley.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
