A valuable photo book of the era when you could climb the symbol "Pyramid" of the ancient Egyptian mystery

The huge monuments and pyramids created by the ancient Egyptian civilization are prohibited from climbing by law. However, there were no such laws at the time the pyramid investigation began, and many people were climbing a pyramid, which can be said as a symbol of a mystery of ancient Egypt with whimsical clothes that can not be considered now.

In the 4th century BC, Herodotus, a Greek historian, passed from the European to the Mediterranean Sea and was an ancient Egyptian building and the tallest pyramidThe Great Pyramid of GizaI visited Egypt to see. When Herodotus saw the Great pyramid of Giza, it is said that more than 2000 years have already passed since the completion of the pyramid, but what made buildings higher than this Great Gyraza pyramid (total height of 138.74 meters) It was after the 14 th century.
