The Great Pyramids of Giza
December 2019
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid
The Egyptian pyramids are memorial sites for the then pharaohs (emperors), in which the bodies of the kings are buried and preserved. These dead bodies are called mummies. Along with their dead bodies, food, beverages, clothing, gens, utensils, instruments, weapons, animals and sometimes even servant servants were buried.
History of Pyramids Of Giza
Like India, the Egyptian civilization is also very old and the remnants of the ancient civilization are called the Pride Saga. In fact, there are 138 pyramids in Egypt and three in Giza, a suburb of Cairo, but contrary to normal belief, only the Great Pyramid of Giza is in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This is the only monument remaining in the seven ancient wonders of the world, which could not even eradicate time flow.
This pyramid is 750 feet high. It was the tallest structure in the world for 43 centuries. The record of its height was broken only in the 19th century. Its base is spread over 13 acres, which is about 14 football fields. It is made up of 25 lakh limestone blocks, each of which weighs between 2 and 30 tons. The Great Pyramid has been built with such precision that current technology cannot replicate such a work. Until a few years ago (until laser rays were detected by measuring instruments), scientists could not detect its symmetry, it was far from making a model! Evidence suggests that it was built as a tomb by the fourth dynasty of Egyptian ruler Khofu around 2540 BC. It took almost 23 years to make it.
Who really built the Pyramids Of Giza?
Questions have often been raised about this great pyramid of Egypt, how the Egyptians, without machines, without modern tools, drove the huge stone blocks to 450 feet high and completed this massive project in just 23 years? Pyramid penetrator Evan Haddington calculated that if this happened, dozens of workers would have to place a stone block every other minute for 10 hours of work every day for 365 days of the year. Was it possible? Apart from the immense manpower, would the ancient Egyptians have meticulous mathematical and astronomical knowledge? According to experts, the stone blocks outside the pyramid have been carved and fitted so efficiently that not even a blade can be bent into the joints. Many astronomical bases have also been found in the construction of Egyptian pyramids, such as the three pyramids lined by the three stars of the Arian zodiac. Over the years, scientists have been trying to unravel the secret of these pyramids, but have not found any success so far.
