The shaping of the Great Sphinx at Giza, the raising of the stones
at Stonehenge, the laying out of the Nazca Lines on the face of the
Peruvian desert, and the construction of the Great Wall of China are
all described and explained by an international team of experts in
the light of the most recent archaeological research. Packed with
fact files, diagrams, photographs and specially commissioned
perspective views, this is a testament to the skill of the ancient
architects and engineers who continue to impress successive
generations down the ages.
