Pyramids

Pharaohs were buried in the pyramids when they died

No its made out of big blocks or rock stacked together. But, it used to be smooth - when the ancient Egyptians first built it, the entire surface was covered with smooth white 'plaster' and the very top was covered with thin sheets of polished gold. It must gave been quite a sight!

No, when the egyptians built the pyramids, pharoah ordered them to face all ways so that he could show the symbal of Egypt.

Yes, they wore white linen skirts.

inclined planes reduce the amount of work to do, its easier to push a heavy stone rock up a ramp then carrying it

The main purpose of a tomb is to hold the remains of the dead.

To preserve the bodies for use in the afterlife

Also to keep the bodies clean.

no the step pyramid 4 pharaoh Djoser was the first one built, and it was built by Imhotep

The tallest pyramid in ancient Egypt is the Great Pyramid of Khufu(Cheops).

Fear mans having a great amount of freight.

Sarcophagus are ornate coffin type boxes created from limestone and left above ground or placed in tombs. Three parts of a sarcophagus are the basin, the rectangle container, and the lid.

Now I'm no expert but I'd say the history was passed down through generations.

a god who guards afterlife

The religious practices of ancient Egypt changed over the course of its long history and at any given point there were many coexisting religions that differed from each other in many ways. But one general concept held for all of them. The body had to be preserved in order for the person whose body it was to enjoy an afterlife. In early dynasties, mummification was done only for the pharaohs and the very well to do. By the mid and later dynasties, more and more people were able to afford the process.

No. They wouldn't have ever seen or heard of gorillas.

Lever. Ramps would work also.

A section, is one Square Mile. A Square mile is 640 ac...

I offer this:

We can thank Thomas Jefferson for the use of 640 acres becoming a section of land in America. Jefferson had an extreme dislike for cities. He told James Madison: "I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get plied upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe."

Before the Constitution, Jefferson pushed his anti-urban policy in the Land Ordinance of 1785. This is the classic land policy that divided land in what is now the Midwest into six square mile townships, divided into 640 acre sections. Jefferson and his friends imagined that each section would become used for farming, except for one section that would be reserved for public education.

Further study leads to the formation of the Homestead Act of 1857. Wherein the section was divided further to create "homesteads" of 160 acres per family. In today's world this may seem rather large. The intent was for the family to live on on 40 acres parcel and rotate their crops yearly on the other three.

I realize my answer is lengthy although hopefully complete.

If you have an old refrigerator or one of the small dorm refrigerators, you know all about the frost that forms around the coils that cool the freezer. If you let it build up long enough, the frost can get 6 inches thick and eventually there is no room to put anything in the freezer. This frost forms when water vapor hits the cold coils. The water vapor condenses -- turns to liquid water. Think of the water beading up on a glass of iced tea on a summer day -- that is an example of water vapor in the air condensing. The same thing happens on the ice-cold freezer coils, except that when the water condenses onto the coils it immediately freezes. A frost-free freezer has three basic parts: * A timer * A heating coil * A temperature sensor Every six hours or so, the timer turns on the heating coil. The heating coil is wrapped among the freezer coils. The heater melts the ice off the coils. When all of the ice is gone, the temperature sensor senses the temperature rising above 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and turns off the heater. Heating the coils every six hours takes energy, and it also cycles the food in the freezer through temperature changes. Most large chest freezers therefore require manual defrosting instead -- the food lasts longer and the freezer uses less power.

Many people believe that the slaves were the ones who built the pyramids, but that is only part true. Many of the peasant farmers helped build pyramids. They helped for about 3-4 months each year (the season when the Nile floods).

I was looking for the same answer. I found this website from Lowes detailing the process. It inludes pics and steps.
