A map of the Giza Plateau drawn by Frederik Louis Norden during his travels in Egypt in 1737–38 and first published posthumously in Voyage d'Egypte et de Nubie (1755), later appearing in the English edition The Antiquities, Natural History, Ruins and other Curiosities of Egypt, Nubia and Thebes (1780)
One of the earliest maps of the Giza plateau drawn by Frederik Louis Norden during his travels in Egypt in 1737–38
This early map of the Giza Pyramids and their surroundings, including the Great Sphinx of Giza, may represent the first illustration of the causeways linking the pyramid temples with the valley temples.
Their discovery seems to have fueled further speculation about secret underground passages linking the pyramids and the Great Sphinx.
The map is also notable for depicting an unknown fourth pyramid to the south-west of the third traditionally attributed to Menkaure.
