| Summary | "The Storehouses of the King; Or, the Pyramids of Egypt" by Jane van Gelder is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the construction of the Egyptian pyramids and asserts that they were granaries built by Joseph, a biblical figure known for interpreting Pharaoh's dreams. The author intends to explore the history and purpose of these monumental structures, challenging conventional theories about their use as royal tombs. At the start of this work, the author introduces the enigmatic pyramids of Egypt, emphasizing their grandeur and the historical mystery surrounding their purpose and construction. She highlights Joseph's role as the builder, recounting his visions and subsequent rise to power in Egypt during a time of impending famine. The narrative begins with Joseph's early life, detailing his betrayal by his brothers, his rise to become Pharaoh’s viceroy, and his plan to construct storehouses to prepare for the famine, thus setting the stage for the exploration of pyramids as a vital part of Egypt's agricultural and economic strategy.
