What material are the pyramids made of

What is the principle of leverage? Simulate building a pyramid with wooden blocks, and you can't believe the result.

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. Speaking of which, this is a very difficult task, and it is not easy for Bi Dan to go to other people's land to cut down trees, but fortunately with the support of the army, the task was completed quite satisfactorily.

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 theory 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. Put the formwork in place, and pour buckets of concrete into it. 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.

The pyramids of Egypt were made of stones, without any sticking between the stones, and were formed by the overlapping and occlusion of the stones.

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 pyramids, the largest of which is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is 230 meters high and 230 meters long, and is made of 2.3 million stones with an average of 52,000 square meters per ton. The Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of the emperors of ancient Egypt.

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the pyramids around the ancient city of Memphis on the West Nile River southwest of Cairo are part of the occupancy concentration.

This is a foreign Jingxiu from the past dynasty recommended more beautiful scenery, I don't know anything about the outside, intelligent analysis, description, may be more than thousands of years from the past, and in the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong retrieved the pagoda gold beads, from the sun and bright, to the people to relieve the dark soul, it is built by the working people with bricks or wood, and now it may be protected and preserved in the original form, and then modernized and repaired.

This is a foreign scenery.

In fact, there was a high level of civilization about 27,000 years ago, that is, the time of Atlantis. A civilization destroyed by technology.

When the island of Atlantis sank, many Atlanteans scattered to many places with their technology, such as Maya, Ancient Egypt, etc.

The Great Pyramid of Egypt was built about 10,000 years ago, and the technology used was not the same as people guess today, but the method used at that time was similar to the current magnetic levitation technology, which made the stone float. It may sound incredible. But it was the Great Pyramid that was built in this way.

The construction method of the pyramid is not recorded in the history books, and the various methods that are popular today are speculative, but all speculations are based on the thinking of modern people. Imagine more than 2,600 B.C., when productivity was so low, what conditions could allow the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, who were in the early stages of slave society, to spend so much energy to build their own tombs?

And what do the ideas and ideas they build come from?

Just like when we want to build a large building, we need to design it from all aspects, including the solidity of the foundation, the load-bearing capacity of the foundation stones and materials, as well as the spatial structure design of the building, the reserved air circulation channels, etc.

It is inconceivable that the Egyptians, who were only able to sustain themselves at the time of social productivity, could have such strange speculations and ideas.

As a personal speculation, I prefer that the pyramids are a legacy of prehistoric civilization, but they happened to be discovered by the Egyptians at the time, and they were used as tombs by the pharaohs.

The designer and architect of the pyramid was the first genius in history to transcend his time. Hotep. However, his "genius" was too far ahead of his time to cause our rightful surprise and suspicion.

It was quite difficult to level a huge convex rock into a base of 52,900 square meters, and they completed the survey and construction of the base without a level, without power equipment, and without modern means of measurement.

The designer and architect of the pyramid is said to have been the first genius in history to transcend his time, Imhotep, and legend has it that he leveled a huge convex rock into a 52,900-square-meter base and completed the survey and construction of the base without modern means of surveying. But this is also a legend, and in fact we don't know how the pyramids were built.

It is very likely that it was built using the spiral construction method, although no formal conclusion has been made, but this method is relatively scientific.

Of course, it was built brick by brick, and when the pyramids were built, it also took a lot of effort, materials and manpower.

The pyramid was built like this:

During the construction of the pyramids, Khufu forced all the Egyptians to work for themselves, divided into groups of 100,000 people, each of whom had to work for three months. Among these laborers were slaves, but there were also many ordinary peasants and craftsmen. Ancient Egyptian slaves used the spiral construction method, with the help of animal power and rolling wood, to transport the boulders to the construction site, and then piled up the natural sand around the site into an inclined plane, and pulled the boulders up the pyramid along the inclined plane.

In this way, a layer of slopes was piled up, a layer of stones was built, and the pyramid was gradually heightened.
