Egypt Tips & Trips
Since the beginning of recorded history it has been a mystery, and this continues to this day. So, why were they built? It is well known that the graves were for the kings who built them; the fact that some of the pyramids of Egypt had a granite sarcophagus inside them, which is an important indicator, as well as the lack of actual burial tombs are found for most of these kings (although one or two did have built tombs). But there are people who will point to the fact that there is no body of a king was discovered in one of these pyramids, which is a very good point, be put to other offenses; namely the known fact that there were broken into the pyramids in ancient times and the objects, if any, have been stolen and sold. If one goes into the main burial chamber of the Great Pyramid (Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops), known as the "King's Chamber", why should a massive granite sarcophagus (a chest), if it is not a body went here what was to be in and why would there be so build a grandiose edifice? if he still would not lie Sometimes it is easier to approach things with common sense.
How were they built?. The simple answer is that there is no answer, or at least an answer that everyone agrees / disagrees .Each known or unknown, having everything theorized and we still do not get any further than just speculate how think they are built, and to find the right answer. If Herodotus in the 5th century BCE, whose 'Histories: Book II' is the first known work that actually mentions a theory about how they were built. If you assume that the ancient Egyptians were simple people, not those of Einstein, they would have found a simple and convenient way. They were not going to go out there to come up with some way of things, most of their inventions happened by chance, though they adapt well in things for their own needs: they themselves were not able to find the car. but when it was introduced by the Hyksos, at the end of the Second Intermediate Period, it became one of the most feared, if not the most feared chariot, and was used by armies in the ancient world. Our modern interpretations of hieroglyphics, was us more clearly what was meant by the tomb reliefs, we know that changed very little during the Pharaonic period. This may exclude many theories, because of the lack of evidence for the use for other buildings from the time of Djoser (2667BCE) until the invasion of the Persians (525BCE). Even when all of iron was used in the rest of the world, the ancient Egyptians continued with the help of brass and so there was nothing that was unique in the way they did things. So the pyramids were to be built with simple tools that they, as well as the simple methods of transportation, especially for heavy items.
How the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids? The simplest possible method!
Why they were built in those places? Recently, this has become a popular demand and more books and papers begin to fill library shelves, with as many websites dedicated to onderwerp.Nogmaals, there is a simple answer to this question and this is that the pyramids were built, where she , because they were all on permanent place of limestone (well, not so firm in South Dashur, as the Bent Pyramid will testify). This serves two main purposes: 1 / strong basis on which the pyramid had to stand 2 / an adjacent supply of limestone to only build, it was simply not good enough for some people, and several theories have surfaced "prove" why the pyramids were built at those locations. One who has been most prominent in the last 20 years or so, is that they were built where they were nfor the stars in the sky, tothe Orion Correlation Theory, with the three pyramids of Giza that the three big stars in Orion's belt suggested and the other pyramids of other stars in the constellation. Many different people have tried to push this theory forward, but just as many have managed to discredit the angles are wrong; the map vam the country is reversed; alignment would have meant that the pyramids around 10,000-15,000 years old. Each theory has its critics! Yes, on paper it looks good, but it would be a great chance to find out
Recently, a new theory proposed to make the most of what is known evidence. The iword the "Cult of Re" theory called and showed that create the positioning of the pyramids in different fields pyramid different lines, alemaal reach the same point in contemporary Heliopolis in Cairo. Prior to the Greeks and the renaming of the place as the "City of the Sun" was known as "Iunu" and there was a huge sun temple dedicated to the sun god Re, built here. Apart from this peculiarity another interesting fact is that each of the pyramids built on a line with Iunu by a pharaoh whose name ended with Re the only field that was not measured in Abu Sir,. the hill where Saladin Citadel that obscures the line of sight, but interestingly enough, only a few hundred meters to the northwest of the area Abu Sir lie the remains of a pair of solar temples;. and these are in the direct line of site of "Iunu" sun temples are not near pyramids, so this could be used as a kind of mirror to the cult? or is this just a coincidence or not, at least to measure the facts and figures, so maybe there was another reason to build the pyramids on the exact instead they now hold.
