Published Jan. 21, 2016

(Sixpac Manco Publications) In Ancient Moonshots, Lee offers three previously published works (“The Building of Sacsawan Revisted,” “Awakening the Giant,” and “Baalbek: An Enigma”) together with a look at the unfinished obelisk in Aswan, Egypt, which is the largest of its kind. How were these four enormous ancient structures built before the advent of modern technology? The author proposes step-by-step answers to that question in this volume. Lee is an architect and author.
