Volume 1 includes - The Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (France), the most beautiful of all medieval cathedrals; The Colosseum (Rome), the men who created it and the men who fought and died within it. The Pyramid (Egypt),the breathtaking engineering and organisation behind the Great Pyramid of Khufu which was built to turn a Pharaoh into a god, and helped create the Egyptian state.
