For more than twenty years, crews of paid workers have raised a mountain of stone on the Giza plateau. In 2013 archaeologists found the logbook of an inspector named Merer, who ferried white limestone down the Nile from Tura to this very site. Tonight, at sunset, King Khufu has come to see how far his tomb has risen. His architect and cousin Hemiunu holds the plans. The words are imagined.
