Edx Hardvard Pyramids of Giza: Ancient Egyptian Art and Archaeology

Professor Peter Der Manuelian

So we have this Covid 19 Coronavirus pandemic and everyone's staying at home. My dad reminded me of the free courses (more free ones due to the pandemic) on EdX.

Took a look at the list of courses, and picked some. This is one of them. I figure I could do two courses per couple of hours per day. I'll try.

It's cool that Dr. Manuelian following George Reisner's footstep, advanced the knowledge of the pyramids to digital web access: http://giza.fas.harvard.edu/

It's interesting to note that the pyramids weren't brick-like, but were solid smooth white limestone, before weather erosion.

I supposed we'll be focusing on the 3 main pyramids: Khufu, Khafre, Menkaure

Wikipedia already has a table of the 3 Kingdoms and dynasties.
