Pyramids
The pyramids were built thousands of years ago. They were built to honor their Pharaohs, Gods and Goddesses. These days, they are one of the greatest tourist attractions.

What pyramids were made in the new kingdom of Egypt?
Many New Kingdom pyramid exists at Deir-el-Medina, a workman's village. These were made of mud brick and were significantly smaller than the pyramids at Giza, which were built in the Old Kingdom. New Kingdom pyramids also exist in various other locations all throughout Egypt.
What was the first Pyramid type structure built in Egypt?
the step pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser at Saqarra
How did Aliens build the pyramids?
Since no one else has been willing to touch this question, I may as well.
To begin with, we have to start with a couple rather HUGE suppositions:
- Aliens exist (we have no evidence)
- Aliens have come to earth (only anecdotal evidence)
- Aliens enjoy atypical architecture (sure, why not)
- Aliens did in fact build the pyramids
Once we accept those suppositions, its a trivial matter of making a few more: The aliens that came to earth had either anti gravity beams (or tractor beams) or were telekinetic and threw them together in an afternoon at which point, people came in and decorated.
PERSONALLY,
I think the more interesting question is how did PEOPLE build the pyramids. There's been a pervasive argument that people could not have constructed something so mathematically precise, moved such large stones cut from a quarry miles away and then pushed them into position. And, at face value, I couldn't do it either, so the logic makes a bit of sense.
However, we now know from written records that the Nile river was actually diverted to create streams which allowed the rocks to be boated up the quarry rather easily from the quarry in which they were cut for at least the great pyramid at Cheops's. Its not unreasonable to assume they did it for the others as well.
We also know that given a long enough lever, a single person could feasibly move a 2-3 ton stone into position. Given a little bit of time, a few extra people (like the couple thousand who are recorded as having worked on the pyramids) and shorter levers, its quite feasible that the stones could have been pushed into position fairly effectively with VERY primitive equipment.
We also now know that Egyptians actually had forms of calculus, extremely complex mathematics, and were able to do very difficult calculations without a mechanical device. Granted, we only have bits and pieces of what remains of cuneiform tablets and a few papyrus reeds, but the essentials are there.
Finally, based off empirical studies and computer models, we have now proven that the rather large army that the egyptians had on hand could have indeed built the pyramids in a couple decades, possibly faster.
Now don't get me wrong. I understand the appeal of aliens. I understand why we like to imagine that they had some sort of role in our past, and its true, there are records which may indicate that aliens HAVE visited earth.
But I think its insulting to us a species, and to the builders themselves, to write it off as impossible. Time and again the human race has proven its capacity to do remarkable things. This one just took a bit more planning. :P
When were most of the great Egyptian pyramids built?
Pyramid building in ancient Egypt lasted from 2650BC to the time of the new kingdom c.1550BC. The greatest pyramid period was in the 4th dynasty (2613-2498BC) when the three pyramids (including the red pyramid, the first true pyramid) built by Snefru and the three great pyramids at Giza were built. Included in the Giza group is the Great Pyramid of Khufu (reigned 2589-66BC) the biggest and most accurately built of them all. The Great Pyramid remained the tallest structure in the world until it was surpassed by the spire of Lincoln Cathedral in the 14th century. The spire of Lincoln cathedral is long gone the earliest surviving structure today at 900ft is the Eiffel Tower built in 1889.
What things are shaped like a pentagonal pyramid?
Pyramids are often thought of as the tombs in ancient Egypt.
Why Does Great Sphinx of Giza Missing A Nose?
Nobody knows. Some think it fell because french solders used it for target practice.
It also might of just fallen by nature.
What were the different parts of a pyramid in Egypt for?
the core blocks, the packing blocks, and the outer casing blocks.
How were the blocks brought higher as the pyramid grew taller?
they had to use leverage to move the blocks higher and higher.
How many and how long did it take to build the pyramids of Giza?
According to ''National Geographic'' it took an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers to build the Pyramids at Giza over a period of 80 years from about 2570 to 2490 B.C. and slaves were not used.
The main pyramids are -
The Pyramid of Khufu also known as The Great Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of Cheops [his Greek name] Dated around 2560 B.C.
The Pyramid of Khafre. Dated around 2520 B.C.
The Pyramid of Menkaure. Dated around 2490 B.C.
More recent research has indicated that nowhere near as many people as originally believed was involved in the construction of the pyramid. In truth, perhaps only around 5,000 were actually on the building site, although there were an equivalent number of support people. However, for the time these were immense groups which would not be matched for centuries.
Where is the pyramid of Djoser located in Egypt?
The city djoser is located in Egypt. It is actually a pyramid that is very ancient.
How did the Egyptian pyramids develop?
The first step toward the Great Pyramid from the Matasbas was the stacking of two Matasbas on top of each other. Djoser's step pyramid is 5 mastabas descending in size stacked on top of each other. In the Third Kingdom with the invention of building and working with stone lead to the construction of the Great Pyramid with its limestone facing.
Around what year was the valley of the kings built?
The valley of the kings was built around 1539 BC-1075 BC.And that's from a 11 year old.Lol.
AnswerIt was built around 1539BC-1075BC.And you heard that from a 11 year old. LolHow much is to see the pyramids in Egypt?
Ive gone and its amazing I personally recommend you to go to the valley of the kings.
What were pyramids mostly used as?
Historians generally agree that pyramids were used as monuments for rituals and sometimes burials. Recently; work done by Chris Dunn and others have pretty much proved that pyramids were capable of generating energy, and probably were surrounded by vast arrays of focus mirrors. Online viral videos, based on this type of research has lent more credibility to these theories, if not outright proving it.
Please watch a few of these easily accessible videos before concluding otherwise.
This recent development in Pyramids as a power plant has led to university studies, and a wide field of acceptance. What this power was used for and its application method is currently being hypothesized.
There are thousands of pyramids in the world. 100+ in Egypt,300+ in China,Italy,South America,Bosnia,Russia,Greece, etc. Some pyramid building supplies were shipped over 3500 kilometers. The riddle now is what they were used to power.
Which pyramid is the pyramid of Khafra?
The pyramid of Khafre is the second pyramid to be built. It is slightly shorter at 430ft than the great pyramid of his father Khufu. In pictures it always looks taller because it was built on higher ground. It is the pyramid with some of its casing stones left at the top.
Ordinary workers were paid to built pyramids .They were given bread,vegetables and beer. They were most probably naked too low in status to be given clothes.
How many bodies and treasure were recovered from the great pyramids?
None. Nothing was found inside the Great Pyramid, not even a body. There are also no hieroglyphs anywhere, only graffiti written much later and not by the pyramid builders.
Inscriptions have been found on some of the stones above the King's Chamber that are indicated to have been drawn by the quarry workers themselves. Some of the inscriptions are upside down showing that they were written on during the cutting of the stone blocks, and had been turned upside down during the placement of the stones in their final resting position.
What is the false burial chamber?
The True Burial Chamber in an Egyptian pyramid tombed the dead pharaoh, or king.
Why did the Mexicans build pyramids?
Answer 1
The Mayans built the pyramids as temples to have religious ceremonies and perform astronomic and astrological calculations.
Answer 2
All pyramids, all towers, all ziggurats are for one purpose only- to know time and day and hour until the world ends and time begins again. The towers are fixed telescopes to a sphere of stars they failed to KNOW are precessing. And so they lose what they were aimed at, and they become fake worship, fake observations like easter bunnies for Venus or for Jesus, or Santa Claus to party with or without the kids. This is why the hour becomes a surprise, no one has seen all things are predictable with odds of probabilities or we would not have those who milk us with the game of insurance, and casinos. Without a tower, Shem the son of Noah became Melchizedek when his father the king of all righteousness died, and in 450 years of earthquakes which settled the crust of the disrupted continents form the Flood.. he then predicted two things the same day. That medically Abram could cure his foreskin clean by cutting it off and thus catch the last egg of Sarah, and that Sodom would explode by morning when the full moon set and the sun rose (1918bc July 18). Every hour is predictable, so much so, that when warned, it can also be changed so it doesn't happen, (see Jonah and the destruction that didn't happen because the people saw and changed it... listened to others, not to Jonah, so Jonah threw a fit because he had already suffered in a fish).
Were there labyrinths inside the Egyptian Pyramids?
yes there is because is someone broke in to steal some gold they were faced with traps
