Excerpt from The Storehouses of the King: Or the Pyramids of Egypt, What They Are, and Who Built ThemTheir immense size, their solid construction, the lonely positions in which they are placed, add to the amazement of the spectator.Many conjectures and assertions have been made regarding them. Some assert they were the tombs of the kings of Egypt, and others differ, and say they were built for astronomical purposes, and those who give up guessing or speculating regarding them, con sider they were the tokens of the folly and tyranny of the rulers of Egypt.All travellers, and learned men and women who have visited these gigantic monuments, admit their grandeur, and admire their sublimity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
