Architecture and Mathematics in Ancient Egypt

Architecture and Mathematics in Ancient Egypt

Editorial Reviews Book Description Corinna Rossi explores the use of numbers and geometrical figures by the Ancient Egyptians in their architectural projects and buildings. Whereas previous architectural studies have searched for "universal rules" to explain the entire history of Egyptian architecture, Rossi reconciles the approaches of architectural historians and archaeologists by testing architectural theories. This book is essential reading for all scholars of Ancient Egypt and the architecture of ancient cultures. About the Author Dr Corinna Rossi is a Junior Research Fellow in Egyptology at Churchill College, Cambridge.
