Hi guys I hope all doing good… Lets see this blog about egypt

For more than 4000 years, the Pyramids of Giza have stood the west Bank of the nile, just south of Cairo, Egypt, sparking countless theories about everything from construction methods to astrological connections

The Pyramids were once the tallest Human- built structures

The great of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, was built by most estimates between 2,550 and 2,490 BC. The structure is truly enormous and remained the tallest man-made structure for centuries until Lincoln Cathedral (with its original spire) was built in 1311 AD.

This is an incredible feat, especially given the relatively rudimentary building and engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. Even today, building such a structure is a difficult engineering task.

In Fact, Egypt has over 100 Pyramids

When you think of the Pyramids of Egypt, how many people think of? 5, 10 In fact by some estimates, there are more than 130, more or less. Not only that, many experts believe that more will be found in the coming years. Why many of these structures were built is controversial, but it is clear that they played a very important role in ancient Egyptian Culture.

Pyramids Stones weighed extra than an Elephant

Would you believe us if we told you that some of the stone blocks used to build the Pyramids weighed more than 70 tons? The average weight of each of the 2.3 Million blocks in the great Pyramids is about 2.5 tons. However, many weigh more, if not more than your average elephant.

We may never really know all the details of how these rocks were moved, but some ancient Egyptian documents and wall paintings provide clues. For example, the the rock appears to have been moved on the sled- Possibly on wet sand. But there is still much to learn, and it continues to be a very interesting field of experimental archaeology.

The Pyramid is not completely Solid

Another captivating truth approximately the Pyramids is that there exists an complex net of passages, shafts, and chambers within, and underneath, the Pyramids at Giza. The motive of those systems isn't completely understood, however many theories exist.

The Pyramids have been now no longer constructed via way of means of slaves

Contrary to popular belief, the people who built the Pyramids were not slaves, Israelites or others. Current research, especially the exploration of documents from that time, indicates that the workers were well paid and other necessities, came from all over Egypt. Not only that, but the work is considered very Prestigious, with many workers having the honor of being buried in tombs near the scared Pyramids.

The Pyramid seem to align with the stars

The ancient Egyptians seem to have used two constellations to arrange their pyramids in a north- south direction- Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. This alignment is so precise that their north- south positions are within an accuracy of up to 0.05 degrees. However, it is important to note that alignment of the stars is constantly changing, albeit at a very slow rate.
