Where did the pyramids come from?

Question 1: Where are the pyramids in Egypt? Egypt has discovered more than 80 pyramids in the Nile Valley, the Mediterranean Sea and the western desert.

There are three magnificent pyramids (pyramid of khufu, Hafra and Menkoala) and a sphinx in Giza on the Nile River, which has a history of about 4,700 years and is the largest.

Question 2: Where are the Egyptian pyramids mainly distributed? In the lower reaches of the Nile, Memphis, the ancient city on the west side of the Nile in the southwest of Cairo, is the most concentrated. There are three famous Libyan deserts 8 kilometers south of Giza, such as the Pyramid of Giza.

Question 3: What are the most famous pyramids now? Where are they? The 10 pyramid in Giza, Egypt is one of the seven wonders of ancient times. They stood in the desert on both sides of the Nile, built in Giza, not far from the then capital Memphis (80 kilometers southwest of Cairo), and were the highest architectural achievements in ancient Egypt. The pyramids are so high that people can easily recognize that they were built by gods or giants in ancient legends.

The three largest and best-preserved pyramids were built by three emperors of the Fourth Dynasty, Khufu, Cabra and Menkoala, from 2600 BC to 2500 BC. Pyramid of khufu 146.6m high and 230.35m long at the bottom. The height of the Hafra Pyramid is 143.5m and 215.25m; Grow at the bottom. The Menkoala Pyramid is 66.4m high and the bottom is108.04m long.

Among the three great pyramids, the largest is pyramid of khufu, which is an almost solid boulder, consisting of more than 2 million boulders. Crowds of people dragged these big stones to the slope of the ground, and then piled them around the pyramid by scaffolding. Next to the pyramids, there are some small pyramids and rectangular desktop graves of royalty and nobility.

At first, the polished gray limestone blocks on the outside of the pyramid almost disappeared. What we are seeing now is the light yellow limestone below, revealing its internal structure. There is a tomb in the center of the pyramid, which can be entered through the tunnel. On the top of the tomb, several large stones weighing dozens of tons are stacked on top of each other. The completed pyramid was used as a tomb. Ancient Egyptians believed in immortality after death. At first, the tombs in the pyramids were filled with gold and various valuables.

Pyramid of khufu is the largest pyramid in 10. Next to the entrance hall of the sacrifice hall of the Hafra Pyramid, there is a head statue of the Sphinx about 20 meters high and 46 meters long, most of which is cut from the original rock.

At that time, the Nile flooded every year and flooded the fields for 3-4 months. Farmers and laborers could not farm, so they found jobs to build graves. The project to build the pyramids may take 30 years.

Due to the influence of the Egyptians' view of life and death and belief in the sun god, it is believed that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day, just like being born in the east and dying in the west every day, so the pyramid was built in the west of the Nile.

The construction of pyramids reflects people's consciousness gained from the seasonal cycle and the life and death cycle of crops in the pure farming era. The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul would not die after death, and as long as the body was protected, it would be resurrected forever in heaven after 3000 years, so they paid special attention to the construction of graves.

The three pyramids of Giza are arranged according to Orion's belt, and the Nile is regarded as the Milky Way. Because the earth has the problem of precession, it depends on the astronomical phenomena of 1050 BC. Orion is of great significance to the Egyptians because they believe that God lives in Orion, which is heaven.

The pyramids are all in the positive direction, but they are diagonally connected, resulting in the uneven outline of the building complex. Compared with the abstraction of the pyramid, the first sphinx next to the entrance hall of the Hafra pyramid sacrifice hall makes the whole building more diverse and complete.

The bottom four sides of the pyramid of King Gough are almost due north, due south, due east and due west, and the error is less than 1 degree. Although the orientation is determined by observing the stars, the error observed by naked eyes can be less than 1 degree.

Back in 2500 BC, it was found that there were four tunnels pointing to four special stars crossing the meridian at that time. They are the second star in Ursa minor, the brightest first star in Canis major, Sirius, Polaris and the first star in Draco major. Using computers, we proved that around 2500 BC, the four tunnels of the Great Pyramid were aimed at four stars respectively. We also know that the correspondence between the tunnel and the star ended relatively because of the constant change of transverse latitude, which is only about a century. This phenomenon makes use of the "precession" in astronomy.

The arrangement of the three pyramids in Giza has a special relationship with the arrangement of the three waist stars in Orion. Back to BC 1050 by computer simulation, the arrangement of the three waist stars of Orion crossing the meridian in the sky is the same as that of the three pyramids of Giza on the ground, and the position distribution of the Star River in the sky and the Nile River on the ground is also completely symmetrical. This correspondence between heaven and earth is not accidental coincidence.

Question 4: Where do the Chinese pyramids belong? Qufu City, located in the southwest of Shandong Province, is the tomb of Shao Hao, one of the five emperors in ancient China. It is located on the high ground in the northeast of Brewmaster Village, 4 kilometers east of Qufu City. It is one of the famous ancient tombs in China and is known as the "Pyramid of China".

Question 5: Which country does the pyramid belong to? Many countries have pyramids or buildings similar to pyramids, so it is fixed that the pyramids in any country are wrong. The most famous and numerous pyramids come from Egypt.

Question 6: Is there an entrance to the Egyptian pyramids? Where is it? I know that the original entrance of the largest Chuanfu pyramid has been closed, and now the entrance is a stolen hole dug by grave robbers below. At the height of 0/8m from the ground/kloc-on the north side, it goes down to the deep basement through a tunnel at the entrance and goes up to the king's tomb. The tomb is10.43m long, 5.2 1 m wide and 5.82m high, with a vertical distance of 42.28m from the ground. There is only a red granite sarcophagus in the room, and there is nothing else. These are two photos I took at the scene. The triangle above is the original entrance and the hole below is the current entrance. Someone is guarding the door there and needs to buy a ticket to get in. Tickets 100 yuan or so.

Personal real shot, please do not steal.

Question 7: What are the pyramids in Egypt? Pyramid of Sakala

The Sakala Pyramid is located 30 kilometers south of Cairo, on the desert outside the oasis edge of the West Nile Valley, and consists of several pyramids. One of the most famous is the stepped pyramid, which is the tomb of Zuo Saier, the king of the third dynasty in ancient Egypt. It was built around 2700 BC. This pyramid is the oldest existing pyramid in Egypt and the earliest stone tomb in the world. The pyramid is a six-story stepped tower, about 60 meters high. There are many tombs of nobles and ministers near the pyramids, among which a large number of exquisite relief murals vividly depict the working and living scenes of ancient Egyptians. In addition, the nearby sacred cow tomb is also famous.

Pyramid area of Giza

There are nearly 96 pyramids discovered in Egypt, the largest of which is the Giza Pyramid Area, one of the seven wonders of the world, located in the suburbs of Cairo, including the famous Sphinx and three pyramids. The pyramids are tombs built by the kings of ancient Egypt for themselves. The three pyramids from big to small (photo from left to right) are pyramid of khufu, Havla and Menkoala. The Great Pyramid is pyramid of khufu, with an original height of146.5m.. Due to years of weathering, the top of the Great Pyramid has peeled off10m, and now it is136.5m high. Each side of the pedestal is more than 230 meters long and is made up of 2.6 million huge stones, with an average weight of 2.5 tons and a total weight of 7 million tons. 100000 people spent 20 years building it. The second pyramid is the tomb of King Havla, son of Khufu. The pyramid is three meters lower than the former, but the architectural form is more perfect and spectacular. There are temples and other ancillary buildings and a 20-meter-high sphinx in front of the tower. The third pyramid belongs to King Koala, the grandson of Khufu. With three pyramid stones, a wall three meters high and thirty centimeters thick can be built around the French border. The inclination of the pyramid is 52 degrees, and each stone is closely connected. You can't find the gap, even the tip of the knife can't get in. You have to admire some techniques such as measurement and engineering in ancient Egypt.

[Edit this paragraph] ladder pyramid

Stepped pyramids Before the third dynasty in ancient Egypt, tombs were generally huge rectangular tombs made of mud bricks. In the Third Dynasty, a doctor named Imhotep wanted to build a tomb for King Zuosai in a special way. So, for the first time in human history, he built a huge tomb with stones.

He first built a tomb about 8 meters high and 63 meters long with stones. Later, he constantly changed the plan and designed the mound to overlap, that is, building one layer at a time, shrinking one layer at a time and adding it to the sixth floor. After that, he wrapped the monster in delicate white lime. After completion, the mound is 62 meters high, with the bottom length from east to west 12 1 meter and the north-south length 109 meter. It is the earliest six-story trapezoidal pyramid in Egypt. Zuo Sai was buried under this pyramid after his death.

There are many corridors and passages around the stepped pyramid, displaying alabaster and rock utensils. On the walls of some corridors, there are also many decorations carved with blue-green ceramic decorations. Around the pyramids, other buildings have been built in Imhotep, such as the memorial halls of "Northern Family" and "Southern Family". The whole building area is 544 meters long from north to south and 277 meters wide from east to west, and the surrounding limestone walls are 10 meters high.

[Edit this paragraph] Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid is another pyramid built by Pharaoh Safro near the arc pyramid. It is the oldest "real" pyramid in Egypt, with a square with a side length of about 220 meters at the bottom and a height of about 104 meters. It is named because its theme building material is red lime (the surface is wrapped with a little decorative white limestone).

[Edit this paragraph] Bend the pyramid

This arc pyramid was built around 2600 BC and is located in Shakala, 27 kilometers southwest of Cairo. It was built during the reign of Safro, the first Pharaoh of the fourth Egyptian dynasty. The bottom is square with a side length of about 189 m and a height of about 105 m. Its special feature is that when the tower is over half height, the angle changes. Because the lower half is 52 degrees, the inclination angle bends inward to 43.5 degrees, making the four sides of the pyramid look arc-shaped.
