Explore how the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid, a tomb created for Pharaoh Khufu which took over 20 years to complete.

--

As soon as Pharaoh Khufu ascended the throne circa 2575 BCE, work on his eternal resting place began. The structure’s architect, Hemiunu, determined he would need 20 years to finish the royal tomb. But what he could not predict was that this monument would remain the world’s tallest manmade structure for over 3,800 years. Soraya Field Fiorio digs into the construction of the Great Pyramid.

Legend says Khufu didn't die from natural causes, but rather he was murdered. It was because 19 years and 10 months into the project the pharaoh jokingly told Hemiunu "listen, I've changed my mind. I don't need a pyramid anymore. When I die I prefer to be cremated and my ashes to be cast into the Nile". Then the sovereign "died" and missed the party when the Pyramid was delivered.

Then they liked it so much that they tried to repeat it two times for other pharaohs but the results were nowhere near the spectacle of the first one

Holly S! I just realized that a pyramid is just a sculpted hill! They didn't have to move any giant rocks up, they just had to move the chippings accumulated at the bottom to hide them far away, then carve the inside of the hill to make the tombs. Sometimes my genius... it's almost frightening!

*Theory of Building Pyramids*:-
The stones from which the pyramids were built are not natural stones, but rather manufactured stones with the same idea as the manufacture of bricks or blocks, and these stones were not moved or carried to their high positions (which increase in height with increasing height in building). Rather, each stone was manufactured in its location (It is the same as its current location) and it was never moved or carried from its place. These stones are characterized by precision in their manufacture, and the connected stones are relatively similar. Each stone is also characterized by an increase in the width and length of its base (compared to its height), but they gradually decrease the higher its position in the building, and while below we will review a vision of how to build of external frame for pyramid, regardless of the internal divisions (which could be done using traditional methods of construction in conjunction with the construction of the external structure of the pyramid).
*The idea of building the external structure of the pyramid*:-
The external structure of the pyramid consists of several levels (or rows), starting with the base and ending with the top. Each level consists of stacked stones in the form of a square with regular dimensions and high precision (right angles and equal sides). The dimensions of the square decrease at the top level, and this shows how the staircase shape of the pyramid appears. The stones on each level are almost identical, and the dimensions of the base of each stone are several times its height. These dimensions decrease at the upper level and continue to decrease gradually until the top. Three-quarters of the base of each stone on the upper level is above the stones of the lower level, while a quarter of the base of each stone remains suspended in the air. Each stone is manufactured on site using wooden molds made up of several facades (from five to three facades depending on the location of the stone and the number of adjacent stones), and each facade consists of several flat, strong, tightly packed wooden planks. These molds are used in the same way as making blocks or bricks. The ancient Egyptians came up with a specific chemical formula that was mixed with desert sand, and perhaps a certain liquid was added to it (perhaps water). This resulted in a mixture similar to the cement mixture we have today, where workers carry it using special containers and pour it into wooden molds (with the same idea as concrete pouring). This mixture dries quickly, so the wooden molds are removed to begin making the adjacent stone until the current level is completed and then move to the next level, and so on. After these stones dry, they become very hard, just like rocks.
*Scientific evidence of the validity of the theory*:-
1- There is no doubt that the ancient Egyptians had some secrets of chemistry that we do not know yet, such as the secret of the materials used in mummification, which is still a mystery that baffles scientists. Likewise, they discovered a chemical formula for making the mixture used in making stones for construction, but they did not convey to us the nature of those compositions that It has become one of their mysterious secrets. It is not logical to believe that there is a secret in a specific dye used in mummification, but not believe that there is a secret in a specific mixture used in construction.
2- The color of the pyramid stones is completely similar to the color of the desert sand surrounding the pyramids, which confirms that the pyramid stones were made from that desert sand, noting that the color of the rocks tends to be dark in all the mountains surrounding that desert, which are very far from the site of the pyramids.
3- The absence of any rocky mountains in the areas near the pyramids, thus ruling out bringing real rocks from the mountains to build the pyramids, noting the large size of those rocks used in building the pyramids, thus ruling out the idea of carrying and transporting those rocks using classical tools.

they still on the thought that Pyramids are burial monuments to certain kings when main many ancient civilizations built pyramids along certain lay line aroud the world now how did those other ppl know to do that without other worldly help. I am sorry if we can not build a Pyramid now do think they could back then with out superior tech beyond even our own current tech. So yes they had help from who, who knows.

The majority of limestone blocks that make the great pyramid weigh around an average of 2.5 tons. Only a very small percentage of the pyramid is comprised of granite blocks, the largest of which are close to 80 tons. This changes all of the required logistics by orders of magnitude. Also, there was plenty of room for error in how theses blocks were shaped as evidenced by what’s actually on site. Millions of imperfections. I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for these channels to acquire accurate info.

One block every 3 minutes 365 days a year for 20 years. You have to figure that for the first few years at least maybe no blocks were actually laid as they had to be quarried, transported, shaped etc. The numbers are very hard to fathom.

Well if we consider theories that ancient egyptians found the pyramids, if we consider the extincion of atlantis, if we consider that there are many theories who build pyramids such as Imothep, if we consider that mummies were never found inside of pyramids such as oldest found, if we consider that pyramids are multifunctional, if we consider lost city in grand canyon with hieroglyphic fonts, if we consider unoficial statements of archeologists that pyramids due erosion and many more factors are over 20 or 30 000 years older, if we consider that 99% of history is unrecorded and if we consider millions and millions years old artefacts that doesnt fit in our history model, we cant for sure tell who, when, how or for what they were built.
