What are the pyramids made of and how are they built?

Because of the incomprehensible construction process of the pyramids, all the pyramids are built from tons of boulders piled together, if you use modern technology is not difficult, but if you put it in ancient times when all conditions were not developed in all aspects, such a building will inevitably feel strange.

1. Spiral construction method. It is a spiral staircase along the four walls, and the stairs are covered while going up. In this way, there is no need to use levers, crowbars, cranes, and this formulation is more in line with the actual situation of the ancient Egyptians.

2. Artificial pouring method. Some scholars have studied the small stones taken from the pyramid of Khufu for laboratory testing. Assays proved that the stones were composed of shell limestone.

It is speculated that the ancient Egyptians at that time probably used the method of "breaking the whole into parts" to build the pyramids, that is, loading the mixed concrete into baskets, lifting or carrying the pyramids under construction, and then pouring them and covering them, increasing the height layer by layer, which is both "labor-saving" and labor-saving.

Internal structure. The square cone-shaped imperial tombs of the ancient slave societies of Egypt have corridors, staircases, halls and various valuable ornaments in the tower. This passage has a cross-sectional area of 58 square centimeters and is located about 65 meters above the south wall of the Queen's coffin in the Great Pyramid. At the bottom of this passage is a stone slab with two copper handles.

Since their discovery in 1873, there have been many speculations about their origins. One theory is that they were vents that provided air to the workers who built the interior of the pyramid.

But if this statement is true, then why before the works are not completed. Another theory is that there was a secret burial chamber behind the stone slabs in these passages.

The pyramids have long been seen as the result of the wisdom of the working people of ancient Egypt. 2,000 years ago, Herodotus, the "father of Western historiography", recorded that when building the pyramids, Khufu forced all the Egyptians to work for him, in groups of 100,000 people, and each group of people worked for three months.

In this way, countless ancient Egyptian slaves pulled huge rocks from the Arabian Mountains, with the help of animal power and rolling wood, transported the huge stones to the construction site, and then piled up the natural sand and soil around the site into an inclined plane, pulled the huge stones along the inclined plane up the pyramid, piled up a layer of slopes, built a layer of stones, and gradually raised the pyramid. In this way, it took a full 30 years to pile up a miracle that will amaze future generations.

In recent years, archaeologists have found a large number of tools used to measure, calculate, and process stone tools among the burial goods of the pyramid burials, indicating that these burials were the builders of the pyramids. At the same time, some primitive metal surgical instruments were found and evidence that the deceased had been treated after the fracture, indicating that the deceased had received good medical treatment during their lifetime. Such a discovery naturally calls into question the previous belief that the builders of the pyramids were ancient Egyptian slaves.

Because in ancient Egypt, low-status slaves could not have access to medical treatment, and it was even less likely to be buried after death. In addition, it has been estimated that the pyramid was built with at least 2.3 million stones weighing about 10 tons each. At the time of the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu, there were no lifting tools in the world.

If all this was done by nearly 10,000 masonry workers, it would take nearly 700 years for workers to push 10 boulders weighing 10 tons a day. Such a simple number, I believe that the pharaoh could calculate it. Why did they build this mausoleum, which they could not enjoy during their lifetime?

Who exactly is the creator of the pyramid miracle? How does such a miracle work? Some say that it is the masterpiece of a mysterious extraterrestrial civilization, and some insist that it is the work of ancient Egyptian slaves, and it is still impossible to conclude whether it is true or false.

The pyramid has become a huge cloud of doubt in the sky of human civilization, waiting for people to continue to go**.

。Naturally, the amount of wood needed to transport such a large number of stones was not small, and Egypt was not a land rich in hard wood. This is a very difficult task, after all, it is not easy to go to other people's land to cut down trees, but fortunately with the support of the army, the task was completed quite successfully.

The pyramid is made entirely of stone and is not made of any stickers. We can imagine what it would be like to have a pile of stones to form a hollow building, and the fit between the opposite sides of the building. Of course, this kind of smooth and mirror-like effect can be made by long-term polishing.

But what does it take to move a stone with an average weight of tons more than 100 meters above the ground? Crane? Hand pulled pulley?

Hot air balloons? Or 200,000 hands for 100,000 slaves?

Herodotus' view was to build the bottom layer and pile up the surrounding sand into an inclined plane, pull the stones used in the second layer up from the inclined plane, and then pile up the sand and pull the stones. And so on, after the last stone is arranged layer by layer, the sand around the pyramid is cleared, and the whole project is completed. Of course, the whole process is easier said than done, so they did it for 20 years.

When this argument had been circulating for two thousand years and was almost fully accepted by us, the Frenchman Joseph David Deweis boldly questioned Herodotus's claim. Indeed, Herodotus himself had never seen the pyramids built, and his views were hearsay, even speculation. So Deweys also made a bolder speculation than Herodotus:

The megaliths on which the pyramids were built were man-made!

It is estimated that Egypt would not casually let people pry a piece of the pyramid down to study the composition of the stone, and I don't know where Deweys got the research sample, with the help of microscope and chemical analysis, he determined that the stone used to build the pyramid was made of lime and shells through artificial pouring and coagulation. The induration of this mixture is so desirable that it is impossible to distinguish it from natural stones.

According to David Dewees, he found a very convincing piece of evidence: in a stone sample he found a strand of hair about 1 inch long. His explanation was that workers fell into the concrete while pouring it, and David Dewees's theory was supported by archaeologists who believed that humans had mastered concrete technology thousands of years ago.

If the stone had been man-made, the mystery of construction might have been easily solved. The formwork is propped up, and buckets of concrete are poured in. But let's be honest, Egypt** would not agree to come up with a few stones for further research.

Until the invention of more advanced scientific detection instruments, we would have considered David's theory a bold speculation.

Introduction: The pyramids of Egypt were built 4,500 years ago as the tombs of pharaohs (i.e., kings) and queens of ancient Egypt. The mausoleum is a square cone-shaped building made of huge stones, which is translated as "pyramid" because it resembles the Chinese character "gold".

In ancient Egyptian, the pyramid was trapezoidal and layered, hence the name "hierarchical pyramid". It is a tall pyramidal structure with a square base and triangles on each side, and the tower mausoleum designed by Imhotep is the first stone mausoleum in Egyptian history.

Zosel in Saqqara judged the pyramid to be a typical example of this type of pyramid. Built in 2750 BC, it was the first gigantic structure in Egyptian history to be built entirely of stone.

Legends about who built the pyramids in Egypt: Due to the lack of historical records, many mysteries about the pyramids have been difficult to explain for a long time, and the exploration and study of the pyramids continues to develop in breadth and depth.

1. The pyramids were built by the ancestors of Atlantis.

The Pyramid of Khufu was built by the missing ancestors of Atlantis. It is said that this island, located west of the Strait of Gibraltar in the Atlantic Ocean, was the site of a glorious civilization in 10,000 BC. Later, on a "tragic day and night", the island suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The island's scientists evacuated ahead of schedule, and some of them set up scientific centers in Egypt with scientific and technological materials, and built the Pyramid of Khufu in reference to the island's temple, hiding all their scientific knowledge in the internal structure of the tower.

2. The pyramid is a secret base built by newcomers.

The Pyramid of Khufu is not a mausoleum, but a landing site for aliens to come to Earth, a stop in the lower realm of the gods; It is the first secret temple in the history of mankind, a warehouse that stores important documents from the beginning of the world until the end of the world; It is an observatory used to observe the sky, understand the movement of the stars, and predict the future; It is a multi-functional meter that can be used to map a large amount of land, calculate the time, and determine the days of the year.

3. The pyramids were built by the Berber tribe.

A Berber tribe living in the middle foothills of the Atlas Mountains in Africa built the Pyramid of Khufu. It is said that in ancient times, the Sahara was a fertile and abundant land inhabited by several tribes. Later, the land gradually desertified, and the tribes moved eastward to the Nile River valley.

The chieftain became the king of Egypt. They use the spells of the tribe. Pyramids were built.

Then, they counted their fingers, believing that humanity would suffer a period of darkness, and the tribes immediately evacuated to all parts of the world.

4. The pyramids were built by the pharaohs to store the remains.

Although the pyramid of Khufu is widely recognized as the tomb of the pharaoh, the remains of Pharaoh Khufu (also known as King Keops) have not been found in it, which has led to doubts about the specific role of this great structure, and various speculations have been heard for a while. There is no doubt that this huge pyramid is a great marvel in the history of human architecture.

5. Pyramids were built by humans.

Scientist Joseph David Duvis carefully studied the structure of the pyramid situation with the help of microscopy and chemical analysis. Based on the results of the tests, he came to the conclusion that the stones of the pyramids were artificially mixed with limestone and shells, in a method similar to that of pouring concrete today.

The pyramid construction method is as follows:

First, the instrument handling said.

There is a theory that the pharaoh used tens of thousands of slaves to build the pyramids of huge stones with a series of instruments. This theory was put forward by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus as early as 450 BC.

Second, the slope handling said.

There is a theory that when the ancient Egyptians built the huge pyramids, they first built a large slope outside the pyramid and then slowly pulled the stones up. But if this hypothesis is true, the slope must be very long, and it will be very steep to the top of the pyramid.

Third, pouring said.

It has been suggested that the stones on the pyramids were all poured by hand, and that the ancient Egyptians may have mastered a method of pouring. They picked the materials needed for pouring onto the pyramid being built, and poured the boulders one by one.

Fourth, water transport said.

In 1980, when the Egyptian Commission for the Protection of Cultural Relics conducted core sampling, they discovered a cave at least 50 meters deep and believed that the cave was most likely a port dug during the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. As a result, there is a view that the ancient Egyptians used water to transport the megaliths and eventually built the pyramids.

Pyramid Introduction:

The pyramids were found in Egypt and the Americas, including Upper Egypt, Middle Egypt and Lower Egypt in ancient Egypt, and in present-day Sudan and Egypt. In the lower reaches of the Nile, there are about 80 pyramid remains. The largest of them is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is 230 meters high and has a base length of 2.3 million stones, covering an area of 52,000 square meters.

There is no adhesion between the stones, and it is formed by the overlapping and occlusion of the stones. In front of the pyramid of King Havera, there is also a sphinx statue that symbolizes the king's power and dignity. The Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of the emperors of ancient Egypt.

One of the Seven Wonders of the World. There are many of them and they are widely distributed. The pyramids around the ancient city of Memphis on the west side of the Nile southwest of Cairo are part of the Occupancy Concentration.

A total of 96 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, the most famous of which are the three pyramids in Khufu, a suburb of Cairo. Beginning in about 3500 B.C., dozens of small slave states appeared on both sides of the Nile. Around 3100 BC, the initial unified state of ancient Egypt was established.

The king of ancient Egypt, also known as the pharaoh, was the largest slave owner in ancient Egypt and had supreme power. They are seen as the embodiment of God. They built themselves huge pyramids of mausoleums, which became symbols of the power of the pharaohs.

Because these huge mausoleums resemble the Chinese character for gold, we call them "pyramids". In front of the pyramid of Khufra, there is also a sphinx guarding the tombs of the pharaohs.
