Kerisel
La Pyramide à travers les âges: Art et religions is a scholarly work by French engineer Jean Kerisel that examines the enduring fascination with pyramids from antiquity to the modern era. The book explores how these monumental structures have been interpreted as feats of engineering and symbols of power as well as expressions of religious belief. Drawing on archaeological evidence and historical texts, Kerisel traces the evolution of pyramid design and the cultural meanings attached to them across different civilizations. Illustrated with photographs and diagrams, the volume offers readers a detailed look at the architectural techniques employed in pyramid construction and the spiritual narratives that have surrounded them. Though originally published in the early twentieth century, the study remains a valuable reference for anyone interested in the intersection of architecture and history with spirituality.
