Pyramids

Ziggurat

The worlds largest pyriamid is in Egypt.

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.

The city djoser is located in Egypt. It is actually a pyramid that is very ancient.

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.

Ive gone and its amazing I personally recommend you to go to the valley of the kings.

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.

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.

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.

The Egyptians, the Incas, the Aztecs, ect.

The True Burial Chamber in an Egyptian pyramid tombed the dead pharaoh, or king.

yes there is because is someone broke in to steal some gold they were faced with traps

it was during the Old Kingdom. after that, they buried the pharaohs in the valley of the kings to make the graves not so obvious, because grave robbers were stealing the valuable stuff the pharaohs were buried with. that did not help much though :)

Archeologists has found three pyramids so far, but many belive that he built four.

Yes, and a lot of them had their own pyramids.

There are huge amounts of temples and burials around pyramids.

Whole families are buried there.

All the royals were buried near the pyramids (if their pharaoh-husband built pyramids).

The Egyptian and American pyramids are alike by the followings both have pyramids, Their both found in the Atlantic Oceans, lacking and have ornaments.

The egypt and American Pyramids are different because Egypt is 2,600.

American is from 1,200.

Not especially. The only thing truly remarkable about the pyramids is their size; the rest of it is pretty basic mathematics... and as the demotivational poster says, "You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor."

to preserve their pharaohs in a "kingdom" like castle. Also to save their history as the years went by with artifacts and other egyptian history.

The first pyramid built was the Pyramid of the third dynasty Pharaoh Djoser in 2650 BC at the Saqqara necropolis to the northwest of the city of Memphis in Egypt. The architect was Imhotep, vizier and polymath. In a later age he was elevated to the status of a god.

the very tip of it

The most important "machine" was the inclined plane, the ramp used to raise the stones to the working level. The lever used to manhandle the stones into position and in the quarries to lift the stones onto the sledge on which they were transported. In the absence of the wheel the sledge with its narrow runners minimised the effects of friction.
