Let us revisit the story of the Egyptian pyramids mentioned in Chapter 2 by examining the story of the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The pyramid was built as a tomb for the fourth-dynasty Egyptian pharaoh, Khufu. The construction started in 2580 BC and concluded around 2560 BC. It is rumored that Khufu’s vizier (the title equivalent to prime minister in modern times), Hemon, himself, acted as a project manager of this project.
