In "This Old Pyramid," NOVA reveals the ancient secrets of how the
Pyramids were built by actually building one. A noted Egyptologist,
Mark Lehner, and a professional stonemason, Roger Hopkins (This Old
House), join forces in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza to
put clever and sometimes bizarre pyramid construction theories to
the test.

Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site:
