Robert Cioffi Reviews The Red Sea Scrolls for the London Review of Books
Robert Cioffi reviewed The Red Sea Scrolls: How Ancient Papyri Reveal the Secrets of the Pyramids by Pierre Tallet and Mark Lehner for the London Review of Books. The book explores the papyri of Wadi el-Jarf, written between 2607 and 2605 BCE, which Cioffi says are "a first-hand account of the men who built the Great Pyramid of Giza.” Thanks to the papyri, “For the first time in 4500 years, Khufu’s pyramid has its voices again: not of priests or pharaohs but of the men who made it possible.”
