Pyramids

There are many different theories about the purpose of the Great Pyramid. Along with not being able to conclude absolutely who built the Great Pyramid, mankind also does not understand why it was built. Many believe that Pharaoh Cheops (or Khufu) built the Great Pyramid for his tomb around 3350 BC, because many of the other pyramids in the area have been found to be burial chambers for the various kings of Egypt. Now, there are some that believe the Great Pyramid monument was a time capsule left by an advanced civilization. There may have been some leaders of this civilization wanted to leave a message to future civilizations. Others think it was some civil service project.

Yes in Egypt and northern Sudan

Pyramids were symbols of power among these cultures. At first they were dedicated to the Mesoamerican gods, but they also became a symbol of the capacity to carry out large works of engineering.

The great pyramid is 456 feet! (139 meters) - completion date: 2570 BC

The Great Pyramid no longer reaches its original height because most of the outer casing of smooth white limestone, has been stripped away by thieves.

Originally, it stood 481 feet high. (147 metres)!

Since they were built - Great Pyramid [Khufu or Cheops] - finished around 2560 B.C. Pyramid of Khafre - finished around 2520 B.C. Pyramid of Menkaure - finished around 2490 B.C.

A more United Empire can function better. It allows for a better defense against outside people, and it allows for less rebellions within the Empire. Additionally, a larger "revenue base" makes for a more powerful and influential state.

There were many of them. Of special importance are Aztecs, Teotihuacans, Mayans and Olmecs.

The recently discovered (Jul 2015) pyramid of Tonina, on the southern state of Chiapas, is considered the tallest Mayan pyramid found within that country. It is reported as 75 meters (246 feet) tall.

The great pyramid was built for king Khufu.
King Khufu. He had forced slaves to build it for him, so he could have approval, from the sun god, Ra

pyramids were built for the Pharaoh when he died. they used then to put the Pharaoh in.

The specific sizes of the blocks varied from the base to the point. Take the Pyramid of Khufu. Constructed entirely from limestone, the base stones faces were measured on the outside 1,47x1.47x2,3 meters. Their approximate weight was 9.3 tons. (8500 kg) the upper most blocks were less than one half meters and weighed only 50 lbs. (22 kg) Most pyramids followed the same structural pattern, but also with varying size blocks and material.

Each note or rest determines the amount of beats in for a note or rest. The time signature of a song consists of two numbers, the top number represents how many beats in a measure, and the bottom number represents how many beats a whole note gets.

In 4/4 timing (4/4 being the time signature) a whole note/rest gets four beats and a measure consists of four beats. Therefore:

Half note/rest- Two Beats

Quarter note/rest- One beat

Eighth note/rest- Half of a beat

Sixteenth note/rest- Quarter of a beat

and so on to 32nd, 64th, etc.

Another coming time signature includes 2/2 (cut time) where a whole note/rest gets two beats and there are two beats in a measure. Therefore:

Half note/rest- One Beat

Quarter note/rest- Half of a beat

Eighth note/rest- Quarter of a beat

Etc.

Other common time signatures include 3/4 (three beats to a measure), 2/4, and 6/8. Follow the same process in deriving the number of beats in a note or rest.

the great pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu for example, took 100,000 slaves and 20 years to do it
20-30 years to make the Egyptian pyramids.

A happy pharaoh makes everyone happy.

Making Pharohs is the key. That is all I got.

These pyramids were generally built of earth and faced with stone; they are typically stepped pyramids and are topped by a platform or temple structure used for rituals. The Egyptian workers(artisans, craftsmen, etc) make the blocks for the outer pyramid (limestone) and the inner walls (granite).
Shortly after coming to the throne the Pharaoh would command his overseer of public works and architects to prepare a burial place in keeping with his status as a god-king, a launching pad to enable his soul to soar from the earth to join the gods and his ancestors in the heavens. The chosen site had to be on the west bank of the Nile where the sun set. The first stage was for the royal survey team to mark out the site. Great care was taken in orientating the site to the four points of the compass and in levelling the site to provide a foundation for the pyramid. When the slaves had cleared away the sand and rubble highly skilled masons were called in to level the foundations. This was done by cutting a grid of channels and filling them with water. The rock was then cut back to the water level to make it perfectly flat. Finally the water was drained away and the channels filled with rubble. At any one time as many as 20,000 workers may have been involved on this massive project. Some of them were free men doing particular tasks such as masons, tool makers, carpenters, scribes and overseers. Many of course were unskilled slave labourers. Most if not all of the slaves were naked. From the depression of the quarry come the clink-clink of copper chisels and the thump of rock hammers of the quarry slaves toiling under the hot sun. Their naked bodies are covered from head to foot with white dust giving them the appearance of ghosts. After the stone blocks are extracted from the quarry face they are lowered onto sledges and a mark is made on the stone by one of the scribes. This aided them to place the blocks in the pyramid just as they came out of the quarry ensuring a better fit than random blocks without further finishing. From dawn to dusk, gangs of slaves drag the sledges loaded with stones each weighing about two tons to staging areas at the base of the pyramid. Most of the stone blocks proceed up the ramp without future handling. Only a fraction of the stone blocks needed to be cut to precise dimensions by the masons. The slaves hauled the loaded sledges slowly up the clay and rubble ramp. Whether it was a single long or spiralling ramp depends on the size of pyramid. When the sledges reached the working level teams of slaves called setters shifted the blocks from the sledges into their designated positions. These naked men used only simple levers, brute force and experience gained from years of hard labour. Once the stones had been delivered the hauling gang would make their weary way down the ramp carrying their sledge, in order to make the same back breaking journey up as they would several times a day. Other slaves are employed in maintaining and extending the ramps as the pyramid grew. These ramps are made of rubble, bound together with desert tafla (a type of clay) and laid with planks to ease the passage of the sledges. Rows of slaves are seen breaking up waste material from the quarries, mixing them with the tafla and loading the finished mixture into baskets. Individual baskets are loaded onto the shoulders of slaves for delivery to the ramp builders on the pyramid. Granite came from Aswan located 400 miles to the south. Granite was used for the lining of the burial chamber and the internal passage leading to it or in some instances the lower courses of the pyramid. These blocks were the largest in size used on the structure, for example, some of the granite stones used on the Great Pyramid at Giza weighs up to 70 tons. Copper chisels used for quarrying limestone could not be used, a harder material was required. Balls of dolerite, a hard, black igneous rock, were used in the quarries of Aswan to extract the hard granite. These dolerite "pounders" were used to pulverize the stone around the edge of the granite block that needed to be extracted. Teams of slaves pound away for weeks in order to expose enough stone for the block to be extracted from the quarry. At the bottom, they ram wooden pegs into slots they have cut, and fill the slots with water. The pegs will expand and split the rock with a resounding crack much more impressive than anything heard with the softer limestone. With much cursing and sweat the slaves lower the great blocks onto sledges. As many as two hundred slaves, their naked bodies gleaming with sweat, drag the loaded sledges along a causeway to the river where they are loaded unto barges and floated downriver with the current to the pyramid site.

All the kings and queens and royal family members of Egypt were eligible to be mummified.

Melons were "discovered" on the third day when God said, "Let there be..." and mature vegetation appeared all over the earth.
