Chapter 11 pyramid

The pyramids are still a mystery to this day. This not only refers to its high difficulty that is still difficult to repeat with modern technology, but also refers to its function and purpose of construction. Some scholars believe that the construction of the pyramids is a means and a symbol, that is, to gather people scattered all over the world to do a job together, and the built pyramids represent the fruits of everyone's efforts and symbolize the authority of the Pharaoh to unify the land. This is of course pure speculation. In ancient times, it was a society of gods and witches, and any activity had a strong religious color. For example, in China, there were so-called major national affairs. Only the description of priests and soldiers, worshiping gods and wars were the top priorities.

The most popular saying is that the Pyramid is a super-giant tomb, a sacred forbidden place loaded with pharaoh's mummies and burial objects. remains. Moreover, according to scholars, some pharaohs actually built three pyramids at the same time. Unless he wanted to divide himself into several pieces and put them in different pyramids, it would be unreasonable to do so. One cannot enjoy three tombs at the same time, and building Pyramids are such a labor-intensive business. This makes pyramids a very interesting subject. People have always believed that the pyramids were built by tens of thousands of slaves under the whip of the ruler as the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh after his death. The German physicist KURT MENDELSSOHN put forward another view.

At Meidun there is a strangely shaped pyramid, which is not really a pyramid, but appears to be a stair-like structure raised in a mass of ruined stones, which has always troubled researchers because they don't know what it is. After in-depth research, Mandosen came to the conclusion that this was a failed pyramid. Because it was too steep, it collapsed at a certain stage, resulting in such a strange scene. was abandoned halfway. This lesson can be seen in another pyramid named DAHSHUR, because this pyramid starts from the middle, and the inclination is obviously reduced, which naturally prevents the same collapse. And to build another, with other evidence, these two pyramids should be built in the SNOFRU dynasty.In addition to another proven product of the same dynasty, three pyramids were built during the same period. How can a person enjoy three large tombs?

In 820 AD, when the Arabs led by CALIPH ABDULLAH AL MAMUN broke into the most famous Great Pyramid (THE GREAT PYRAMID OF CHEOPS), beyond everyone's imagination, no pharaoh was found in it. The dragon body of the king, and the sealed form of the pyramid at that time, show that there have not been any first-footed tomb robbers. Nor did they find any secret passages or chambers, only one ascending and one descending, and the two were connected by a strange well. The Roman historian Proclus believed that the pyramid was an ancient observatory.At the end of the nineteenth century, the British astronomer Richard Proctor described in more detail the strange way that the pyramid was used as an observatory. He said that the top of the pyramid should be opened, and the mysterious well was filled with water, reflecting the starry sky.

Modern scholars increasingly believe that the ancient Egyptians had already grasped the fact that the earth is round, and even calculated the size of the earth.That is to say, ancient Egyptian astronomy was nearly two thousand years more advanced than that of Greece at that time. Pyramids or other mysterious ancient buildings such as the Great Stone Pillars in England are great structures for human beings to explore the universe. Egyptian civilization itself is a mystery. Her civilization reached its peak between 5,000 and 3,000 BC, after which we only see her decline until today. In terms of geography, Egypt only has fertile farmland in the Nile Delta and the narrow areas on both sides of the river, and other places are vast deserts. Pyramid construction that wastes money and people.

What's more, she also had to consume a large amount of stock to support a huge army, pampered monks, officials and extravagant royal nobles without working hard. Exactly how the civilization of Egypt developed, and whether she inherited the shadow of a more advanced civilization, such as the civilization of Atlantis that mankind has been pursuing, are still unresolved public issues. There are also countless strange things about the pyramid itself. For example, some people found that the pyramid has the ability to dry the animal corpses in it without decay; It is proposed that the pyramid is a three-dimensional prophecy, and its size coincides with the historical development of a certain time and space, and so on, countless.

In any case, even today, no one can rebuild a building like the Great Pyramid of Khufu, even if he has mastered all the current technologies and has all the hands. The Great Pyramid, also known as the Khufu Pyramid, was completed around 2690 BC when Khufu was the Pharaoh. It is the most magnificent pyramid in existence. Regardless of the mysteries of the pyramid, the construction of the pyramid itself is enough to make us with modern technology dumbfounded. It is made up of 2.3 million boulders seamlessly stacked together, the lightest stone weighs half a ton, and the heaviest is more than 30 tons.

Scholars estimate that assuming that there are enough people to complete the work of building ten huge stones every day, it will take about 664 years to build the Great Pyramid as it is now, so if Pharaoh Khufu wants to see the pyramid with his own eyes To complete it, he must employ at least one hundred thousand to one million workers, and in the third millennium BC, the world's population was only 20 million, so most of the Egyptian people had to participate in this huge project.This makes it difficult to understand why the Egyptians did this, and whether there was such a condition.Of course, assuming that the Egyptians had advanced technology beyond our comprehension, and building the pyramids was a breeze, all of the above problems would be solved.

When the Great Pyramid was built, it was 146 meters high. If it were hollow, the entire St. Peter's Basilica could be moved inside.Although the purpose and mystery of the pyramid are still being debated, some deliberately exaggerate, and some deliberately belittle its mystery, but the living existence of the pyramid, just like the existence of life, is itself a mystery.
