Pyramids in Egypt are among the mysteries of most unresolved mysteries in the world. For centuries, scientists and researchers have tried to understand how and exactly when the pyramids were constructed. Many on the pyramids have come to light, archaeologists make new discoveries almost every day, but the fact is that much more about these wonders are wrapped in mystery.
Here are some incredible discoveries that scientists and archaeologists have done over the years Gize pyramids.
20 years, 20,000 people
The Great Pyramid, the credit for construction that goes to Pharaoh Khufu and is considered built around 2550 AV. J.-C. has long been the most important construction in the world. If the history should be believed, the Egyptians only used wood and strings to build the pyramids.
But does it even be possible? This is the question that scientists have tried to respond during the ages. If we think everything has been done by manual work, the calculations say that 20,000 workers and 2o years to build the Great Pyramid.
No roulette involved?
Some researchers think that granite tells that the pyramids are built with were transported and dragged 5,000 miles without wheels. The blocks came via the Nile and weighed 2.5 to 15 tonnes. To give you an idea of what is, a normal car weighs about 2 tons. So, how did these people dragle with stones weighing more than a car for 5,000 miles!? At the moment the Egyptians discovered the presence of the wheel, the pyramids have long been constructed. In addition, they used no steel or iron.
Shiny as a diamond
You would be surprised to know that the great pyramid did not have the dusty look, as if it makes sand from the desert, it is supposed to be in the heart of the pyramid.
Back in the day, the outside of the pyramid was covered with polished shiny limestone that made it twinkle. This limestone was given cuts to make it appear flat under the sunlight.
How did it come like that today? It is said that there was a massive earthquake in 1303 ad that caused stones outside to loosen and crack; These have finally been reused to manufacture fortresses and mosques leaving the sand core of the exposed pyramid.
Eight sides - not four
From the pattern, it seems that the great pyramid like each other pyramid has four sides, but that's not true. The aerial view of the large pyramid of Gize shows that it has 8 sides as can be seen on the photo so observed carefully. Some researchers think this has been done to prevent the stones of change.
Then there are others who believe that the eight sides have been created because of erosion and that the planned parts were actually 4. It is difficult to believe this theory as the indentation on each side is precise, The wind eroding the pyramid with such precision?
The location
In 1877, Dr. Joseph Seisss made a discovery of commitment. He made calculations and, according to them, the great pyramid of Gize lies when the extended lines of latitude and longitude intersect. In simple words, it is located in the center of end of the earth.
Do the Egyptians knew? But how could they? But could they? This is another unresolved mystery with respect to pyramids and Egyptians.
The Egyptians had electricity?
History would have thought we would believe that the Egyptians were a primitive society and the pyramids were constructed as an inhumation space for kings and pharaohs. But the enigma is how a primitive society could have built these structures and these rooms inside with simple wood tools?
Therefore, the conclusion of torsion of the Spirit is that the Egyptians may not be as primitive as we think. Some scholars went so far as to offer that they had electricity, that too wireless! Some old sculptures show that the Egyptians hold torches.
Just get
Prepare to be amazed by this information - the Great Pyramid of Giza is composed of 2.3 million stones, each weighing 2.5 to 15 tons! What wood could have resisted this weight and workers to reach the feat of building the pyramid in 20 years that a block should have been defined in every 2.5 minutes? The calculations show us that the task was quite unachievable and the researchers therefore think that the pyramids were constructed by a more advanced company.
Exercises found in Khufu's sarcophagus
Khufu, the person who receives the credit for the construction of the Great Pyramid, has a coffin that raises many questions. Sarcophagus weighs about 3.75 tons that are quite heavy. If heavy that scientists think it could not have been transported inside the pyramid after its construction. So, they think he was placed even earlier.
Then there is the part where it is believed that the sarcophagus is completely carved out of granite which, like most of you would know, it's quite difficult to sculpt. Drilling holes were discovered on the sarcophagus. The question is what exercise was used at that time for Carve Granite?
Oriented with the orion belt
To make things more incredible for you here is another scary fact. The pyramids named Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure are aligned with the stars (Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka) of the Orion belt (a constellation in the night sky). Nobody knows, to date, how the Egyptians could have achieved this alignment feat of pyramids with celestial bodies. Orion has not even been named, 2,000 years after the pyramids have been made, but it is thought that the constellation was linked to Osiris, to God of the Renaissance, by the Egyptians.
Labyrinth under the pyramids
Under the pyramid is a different world in itself. There is a complex tunnel system that is made of limestone. It is here that screaming discoveries have been done. And all these discoveries are not public knowledge.
There are theories of the plot that scientists hide what everything is under these giant structures. In many ancient texts, there is an allusion to things about 55 miles south of Cairo under the city of Hawara.
Hidden room
In the recent past, scientists made another discovery in the Great Pyramid. They found a hidden room with a strong radiography. What this room is for, nobody has an index, not yet at least.
The first and the simplest theory is that the architects of the pyramid have left a cavity or cavity so as not to have the stones too pressed to prevent them from collapsing. But is this the only goal of these rooms? Well, the possibilities have been entertained.
Enough stones to build a wall around France
It's an interesting fact, it might not be a surprise though. The researchers understood that the number of stones used to build the pyramids could be used to build a wall around France. And not like a small wall, but a good 10 feet wall with a thickness of a foot. Incredible, is not it?
More precision than the Royal Observatory
Modern technology has managed to reach so much but always, it is up to the former civilization of the Egyptians in a way in a way. The pyramids in Egypt are northern as many people know. What you may not know is that the precision with which they tip the north are five hundredths of degree to true magnetic north. And even the royal observatory of Greenwich failed to have this precision. Amazed a lot? There is more.
Clock
The Clock of the Greenwich Royal Observatory is settled on GTC (average Greenwich Time or Greenwich Meridian Time) and about 13 degrees of the North Magnetic! This clock has come to work in 1675. If this clock could not get the precise angles in the 17th century, while the Egyptians managed to find the truth north with such precision? Is it possible that they have a very different clock and better than ours?
Mathematical constants
Okay, this information could bear some people because we all admit it, we are not all fans of mathematics. But supporting with me, it's really simple and quite amazing. To understand the meaning of this part, we just have to remember what we already know. The value of the constant IP which is 3.14 and that of Phi (the number of gold) - 1.618.
Now here is the amazing part. Subtract the length of the great pyramid to its height we get 314.16, which is 100 times pi. And add two sides in meters gives 100 times the number of gold!
It may not seem like a big deal, but mathematicians would know something that blows!
17 other pyramids
Archaeologists use satellites to search for hidden structures in Egypt. Whether on earth or under it. This effort has not disappeared in vain because so far 17 pyramids, buried around Giza have been discovered. Infrared rays also found more than 1,000 different burial sites around the region.
Incredulity Archreologists
"I could not believe we could locate so many sites. To excavate that the pyramid is the dream of each archaeologist, "said the archaeologist funded by NASA Sarah Parcak. Floor research to find these 17 pyramids are conducted and 2 have already been found. Although new pyramids see the light of the day almost every day - the Djoser Pyramid is always considered the oldest.
Djoser Pyramid
This pyramid is according to scientists, the oldest. Considered to be built towards the 27th century BC, the pyramid has a court nearby. Originally, the pyramid of Djoser stood at a height of 203 ft. The weather wearing it on the ages. The pyramid has steps and the interior are rooms and complex structures.
The interior of the pyramid has been ravaged, there is absolutely nothing inside, which is attributed to the fact that it has been looted over the years.
