*Stair Steps to the Gods:
Building the Great Pyramid at Giza**
**
A Lecture By*
*Dr. Craig Smith
Architectural Engineer*

*2:30pm
Room 20 Barrows Hall*
*UC Berkeley Campus*
Craig B. Smith has been involved in engineering and in large,
complex, construction projects for nearly 40 years. He has served as
project manager or executive in charge for such diverse projects as
earthquake simulation tests at nuclear power plants and dams,
construction of waste-to-energy power plants, large mass transit
systems, design and construction of many large laboratory/research
facilities, airport expansions, and the post-911 renovation of the
Pentagon.
With this background it was natural that he became interested in the
design and construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Applying his
knowledge of how large public works projects are accomplished he set
himself the task of unraveling the mystery of the building the Great
Pyramid - the sole survivor of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World".
Dr. Smith is the author of seven books, has published short fiction and
non-fiction and has authored more than 100 technical publications. His
professional career began as an Assistant Professor of Engineering at
UCLA where he was also Assistant Director of the Nuclear Energy Lab.
After seven years at UCLA he founded ANCO Engineering Company, an
engineering consulting firm. In 2001 he became president of Daniel,
Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall/Holmes & Navers, Inc, and in 2003, Chairman
of the Board.
