I. Origin of the Pyramids
The pyramids were the tombs of the kings of ancient Egypt. These rulers were called "pharaohs" in history. Ancient Egyptians to God's devout faith, so that it formed a very early and deep-rooted "concept of the afterlife", they even believe that "life is only a short stay, and death is the permanent enjoyment". Thus, the Egyptians regarded the afterlife as a continuation of the earthly life. Influenced by this "afterlife concept", the ancient Egyptians alive, sincere and full of confidence to prepare for the afterlife. Every rich Egyptian was busy preparing his own tomb and decorating it with all kinds of objects in order to obtain eternal life after death. In the case of pharaohs or nobles, he would spend years, or even decades to build the tomb, but also ordered the craftsmen to continue to engage in the tomb murals and wooden models of the boat, hunting, feasting activities, as well as the servants should be done, and so on, so that he can be as comfortable after death as before the life of life, as well.
Two, the historical significance of the pyramidsEgyptian pyramids most concentrated on the Egyptian people's high degree of wisdom, incredible creativity and labor, reflecting the ancient Egyptian in architecture, astronomy, mathematics and other aspects of the extraordinary achievements.
The pyramids are huge stone buildings, all built with a huge block of stone, and the internal structure is complex. The joints between these blocks are so tight and gapless that it is said that not even a razor blade can be inserted into them. With no metal tools and no lifting equipment, the ancient Egyptians designed and built such huge, precise and complex projects, fully demonstrating their remarkable wisdom and talent.
Three, about the depiction of the pyramids
1. Some people say that the pyramids are built for the Egyptian pharaohs of the ladder of heaven so that the pharaohs can enter the kingdom of heaven after their deaths, and there are those who speculate that it is more ancient human beings left behind the masterpiece . ...... My guess is that the pyramids were built by aliens. After scientists research, the construction of the tower of each stone at least 2,000 kilograms of weight, the largest reached more than a hundred tons. In ancient Egypt without any modern mechanical equipment, how did people do it? And laboratory results show that these stones are made of shells and limestone blending, equivalent to the current concrete. Could it be that the ancient Egyptians possessed these technological means a long time ago? Only with the help of aliens, I'm afraid.
2. On the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt, from Giza in the north to Fayoum in the south, about 250 kilometers long, is the concentration of pyramid construction, known as the "pyramid belt". More than ninety pyramids of various sizes have been discovered here. The most famous of them are the three pyramids on the Giza plateau named after the ancient Egyptian pharaohs Khufu, Khafra and Menkaurella. And the most majestic is the Pyramid of Khufu, known as the exemplary work of ancient Egyptian pyramids. It was built during the reign of Khufu, the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt (around 2690 B.C.), and was originally 146?5 meters high, and was later lowered to 137 meters due to wind and rain erosion at the top. Its base is square, each side of the original length of 230 meters, now 227 meters. It covers an area of 5.29 million square meters, with a volume of 2.6 million cubic meters. In France in 1889 before the completion of the Eiffel Tower, it has been the world's tallest building. Therefore, the ancient Greeks were marveled at the situation, listed as the "Seven Wonders of the World" first.
3. In Paris in 1888, before the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the pyramid has been the world's tallest building (another: completed in 1880, the Cologne Cathedral is 157.3 meters high). The original height of 146.5 meters,
because of weathering, the top peeled off 10 meters, is now 136.5 meters high; the base of each side of the length of more than 230 meters, is now 220 meters long, triangular face slope of 52 degrees, the bottom of the tower covers an area of 52,900 square meters; the tower by 2.3 million pieces of stone masonry, each stone weighs an average of 2.5 tons, the largest weighs 160 tons; some scholars estimate that, if the pyramid with a train loaded stone, it would take about 600,000 tons of stone, and it would take about 60,000 tons of stone. of stones, about 600,000 wagons; if these stones Miao broken, paved into a one-foot wide road, about a week around the earth. It is said that it took 100,000 men 30 years to build it. The interior of this pyramid is open to the public, and the passage is exquisitely designed and precisely calculated to the admiration of the world.
4. The construction of the pyramids actually relied on the ancient Egyptian people without relying on heaven or God. Whenever the construction of a pyramid, the pharaoh always edict the whole country, the best scientists, designers, architects enlisted, survey design, construction supervision. And from all over the country craftsmen, farmers, slaves, prisoners, is composed of a vast construction army. It is estimated that Egypt's population at that time was only about a million, while the year-round participation in the construction of the pyramids were one to two hundred thousand. Herodotus determined that the Pyramid of Khufu was built by 100,000 people per year over a period of thirty years. During the construction process, they were not only subjected to the scorching sun, but also beaten with whips and clubs.
