Stone and Sun tells the story of building the pyramids, from the pharaoh’s first dream of eternity to the last stone set at the top. Its twelve tracks follow the work step by step: surveying the desert, cutting stone at the quarries by the Nile, dragging blocks across the sand, and the voices of the worker camps as the ramps rise toward the sky.
