MYSTERY OF THE PYRAMIDS

Director(s): Jean-François DELASSUS   Contact Contact   Download Print page

Play
In just over a century, over 25 million tons of stone were assembled bare-handed to build the dozen of great Egyptian pyramids. No other human creation has been so greatly admired or left us with so many unanswered questions.

Since ancient times, man has wondered about their true purpose. The mystery surrounding their construction remains unsolved. It is not only a tremendous achievement of human labour and technical audacity, but a true architectural masterpiece.
The film goes on a voyage of discovery, exploring different theories while trying to unravel the enigma.

AVAILABLE FOR SCREENING: French version only.
