Egyptologist Dr. Mark Lehner and his team of interdisciplinary specialists presented their work about the Lost City of the Pyramids at the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Zamalek, Cairo. AERA’s scholars and researchers reveal details that are helping to answer the age-old question, “Who built the pyramids?”
The builders of the Giza monuments fulfilled the amazing vision of pharaohs Khufu (2551-2528 BC), Khafre (2520-2494 B.C.), and Menkaure (2490-2472 B.C.), and at the same time created one of the earliest examples of urban planning. When the last Giza pyramid was completed, the Lost City was abandoned and forgotten until its rediscovery within the past two decades.
