Many people don't even know what secrets majestic buildings hide in themselves, they don't know what is the biggest pyramid and how many people built it. In fact, these are monumental tombs that kept the buried pharaohs, the rulers of Egypt at that time. But there are many more facts about these tombs, and especially about the largest pyramid in Egypt.
Three Giants
On a rocky desert plateau there are three majestic structures with ideal parameters and shapes. These are the pyramids in which the bodies of such great rulers as Cheops, Khafre and Mykerin rest. The largest pyramid of all is called the Red Pyramid, the Great.
In the 19th century, astronomer Charles Piazzi Smith suggested that the pyramid of Cheops was built to embody a number of aspects of a long-standing perfection of knowledge. After that, more and more people appeared, trying to unravel the mysteries of the largest pyramid in Egypt.
It is the pyramid of Cheops that is considered the most unique of its kind, it differs from other similar structures. Supporters of this versionit is indicated that the higher mind wished to build it - alien creations of more perfect worlds. The fact that this pyramid contained the first letters that formed the basis of the beginning of mankind was also verified. If they are unraveled, the secrets of humanity will be revealed.
What are the dimensions of the largest pyramid?
When the Cheops pyramid was measured, it was indicated that the perimeter of the Giza pyramid, which was divided by a double height, gives the exact number "Pi", with all decimal places. Also interesting is the fact that when calculating how many meters the pyramid of Cheops is in a pyramidal inch, it turned out that this is a billionth component of the earth's orbit passing in a full day. Total in inches, the diagonals of the pyramid in Egypt give the amount in years, when the planet's north pole rotates. If the volumes of a building are multiplied by the weight of the material, the theoretical weight of the globe of the Earth is given.
The Pyramid of the Sun is located where the tributary of the Nile River, where the sunset is also observed. Mythology links this place with an ancient story about dead and living spirits. It has been calculated that the triangular blocks of Giza consist of 2,300,000 blocks of stone, and their weight exceeds two tons, the largest boulders reach 50 tons.
Stone blocks
The largest pyramid had a facing stone covering, this is a well-polished white limestone that reflects sunlight. Many travelers believed that the structures were made of precious stone, as it could dazzle from the Israelite mountains. BUTimages from the moon confirm the fact of the perfection of the work.
Egypt has a rather hot climate, constant heat, and in the evening the temperature can drop below zero. However, stone blocks keep the temperature at least 15 degrees and no more than 20.
Studying how many meters the pyramid of Cheops is in height, experts hypothesized that it was built from large stones that were cut with a copper tool in a special quarry. The method of using funds for moving and laying is not exactly known today.
Scientists still cannot come to a consensus about the construction of the Pyramid of Menkaur, Cheops and other structures. Thoughts reached the use of magic.
Workforce
The number of workers who participated in the construction of one pyramid was counted, but it was not possible to name the exact number. It is noted that at least 100,000 people attended. The pyramids were built at different times, if you look at the earliest and compare with the later, you can see the difference, which means that construction methods have changed over the years.
Where the Pyramid of the Sun is located, several more tombs were built over the course of two centuries, construction began immediately after the completion of the previous one. This means that people have been involved in the construction all their lives, changing each other for two centuries.
Another mystery
The largest pyramid was not built in one step. Scientists have tracked the overlay techniquestone and came to the conclusion that at first construction was in full swing, and then it was stopped for a while.
Engineering calculations are quite simple. The largest pyramid, as it ascended, should have contained stones smaller in size and weight than below. This is logical, and it went up to the 18th row. But the 19th row had masonry blocks, sharply increasing in size, but at the same time the height kept from 30 meters. The weight of the blocks reached several tons, and this led scientists into confusion.
About 30 years ago, Belgian engineer Robert Bauval analyzed the stellar analogy of the diagrams of the mutual arrangements of the pyramids of Giza. The outlines of the stars in the constellation of Orion, which formed a kind of belt in humans, exactly repeated the location of the three largest structures of Giza.
Star theory
The places where the pyramid of the Sun and Khafre are located are the two brightest stars in the Orion belt, Al-Nitak and Al-Nilam, among them the Egyptian pyramid of Menkaure is less shifted from the axis of the two neighboring ones, being the third, smallest in the constellation.
This arrangement is of interest to orthodox archeology, which claims that the basis of the Egyptian pagan religion is solar worship, but not heavenly. It challenges the scientific discoveries of mankind. Some pyramids have inscriptions denoting some gods with clear stars and a moon. But there were few of them.
How old are the pyramids?
Graham Hancock, who wrote the book "Traces of the Gods" and published manyworks on an alternative interpretation of the historical data of the ancient world, suggested that Bauval's theories are erroneous in calculations. The buildings were not completed in 2500 BC. e., and much earlier, in 10,400 BC. e., while Orion's belt most closely matched the location of the pyramids.
Also noted were the Sphinx and Valley Temple, located close to each other, these structures have water erosion. The Sphinx stands in a hollow of a slope, the same material that is present in its construction. This hollow fills with sand and mud elements in a short time, but in such a dry area there is no possibility of washing out by rain or other precipitation.
This proves the earlier construction time. The Sahara became a sandy desert when the last ice age occurred, more than 10,000 years ago, and there was a lot of precipitation in this place, causing deep erosion. West's theory was endorsed by more than 500 geologists attending the American Geological Society convention twenty years ago.
Why were the pyramids built?
When the pyramids were built, it required physical, temporary and valuable effort. For the construction of such a structure, weighty reasons were needed. People who believe in merciful gods knew that such mausoleums would become offerings to the gods. Perhaps the higher forces endowed society with unthinkable forces for construction. Maybe that's why they put forward the theory of a magic crystal.
Ancient sources do not have sufficient evidence of the prerequisites forthe end of the world, the fiery rain that incinerated and burned everything around, but there were such records. The pyramids for the inhabitants of Egypt were to become an invincible refuge from the fury of the gods, from the end of life of all living things. Nevertheless, scientists are still thinking about the purpose and secrets of the pyramids, and the writings stored behind their walls can reveal the secrets of the future to us.
