The Pyramid

Mehr zum Buch

Set in the twenty-sixth century BC, the story follows young pharaoh Cheops, who initially resists the idea of building a pyramid in his honor. Persuaded by his court sages, he learns that the pyramid serves as a paradox—an oppressive symbol meant to placate the masses while draining the nation's wealth. As the construction of the greatest pyramid unfolds, it reflects deeper themes of power, societal control, and the futility of grandeur, ultimately questioning the true cost of such monumental endeavors.
