Information about the Egyptian pyramids 100 words

There are different opinions. Some say 97 seats, some say 110 seats, and some say more than 120 seats. There is no exact number, but they are all around 100 seats.

Reference: Pyramid means "square cone" in Arabic. It is a stone building with a square base and a pointed top. It is the tomb of the king and queen of ancient Egypt. Because of its large scale, it is an isosceles triangle when viewed from all sides, which resembles the Chinese character "gold", so it is vividly called "Pyramid".

The Egyptian pyramids were built 4,500 years ago and are located in the Giza area on the west bank of the Nile River, about 13 kilometers southwest of Cairo. The most famous pyramid is the Three Generations Pyramid located in the desert of Giza Province, southwest of Cairo. They are the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure.

The Great Pyramid was built during the reign of Khufu, the second king of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt (about 2670 BC). It was originally 146.5 meters high. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the top has been eroded. Nearly 10 meters. The base is square, with each side about 230 meters long. It takes almost a kilometer to go around the pyramid. The tower body is composed of 2.3 million huge stones, which vary in size and weigh from 1.5 tons to 16 tons. According to research, the construction of the Great Pyramid took 100,000 people and took 20 years.

The second largest pyramid is the tomb of Khafre, the fourth pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (2575 BC to 2465 BC), so it is called the Pyramid of Khafre. The Pyramid of Khufu is 3 meters lower, but because it is located on a slightly higher ground, it looks taller than the Pyramid of Khufu. Near the tower is a large statue with the head of Khafre and the body of a lion. This is the world-famous Sphinx. Except for the Sphinx, which is made of stone, the entire Sphinx is carved from a large natural rock.

The three pyramids of Giza, in addition to their stunning size, are also famous for their superb architectural skills. There is no cement or other material between the stones of the tower body, but one stone is stacked on top of another. Each stone has been polished for thousands of years, but it is difficult for people to insert a sharp knife into the gaps between the stones. This can not but be said to be a miracle in the history of architecture.

In addition, there are about 115,000 outer stones in the Great Pyramid. If these stones were chiseled into pieces averaging one cubic foot, and arranged in a line along the equator, their length would be equal to two-thirds of the circumference of the equator. When Napoleon invaded Egypt, a fierce battle broke out in the pyramid area. After the war, he observed the Pyramid of Khufu. He was so impressed by the scale of the pyramid that he fell to the ground. He estimated that if the stones from the Pyramid of Khufu and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure were added together, a stone wall three meters high and one meter thick could be built to surround the entire France along the national border.

So what is the function of the pyramid? The traditional saying is that it is the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh, but so far no mummy of the Pharaoh has been found in any of the pyramids. People have doubts about this. What is it used for? If the pyramid is really the tomb of the Pharaoh, the reason for its construction is simple, because the sun god was worshiped at that time, and the ridges of the pyramid symbolize the rays of the sun. Placing the mummy of the Pharaoh in the pyramid can achieve the unity of god and man. Archaeologists believe that the Pyramid of Khufu was an observatory in ancient Egypt. Priests and astrologers could use it to observe the movements of the stars and predict the future. Because the angle formed by the intersection of the uphill and downhill passages in the tower can reflect the bright light of Polaris; observers can also follow the vertical orbit of the meridian when it crosses the gap in the large corridor. Ancient Egyptian astronomy and mathematics were very advanced. For example, they divided the year into twelve months, with thirty days per month, and a five-day holiday at the end of the year. The year ended with 365 days. They had already calculated the pi ratio. 3.16, so it is not impossible to apply this knowledge to the pyramid.

Since we talked about the astronomy of ancient Egypt, let’s talk about the astronomy contained in the pyramids. Because the Egyptians believed in the influence of the sun god and believed that the sun rose in the east and set in the west every day, just like being born in the east and dying in the west every day, the pyramids were built on the west side of the Nile.

The arrangement of the three great pyramids of Giza has a special relationship with the arrangement of the three belt stars in Orion. Scientists used computer simulations in 1050 BC and found that the arrangement of the three belt stars of Orion across the meridian in the sky was the same as the arrangement of the three pyramids of Giza on the ground, and that the positions of the stars in the sky and the Nile River on the ground were also symmetrical. Orion was of great significance to the Egyptians because they believed that God lived in Orion, the seat of heaven. This mutual correspondence between heaven and earth must not be an accidental coincidence.

Not only do the Egyptian pyramids contain astronomy, but the pyramids of the ancient Maya (today’s Central America) were built specifically for astronomical purposes. There are 52 four-corner reliefs on each of the four sides of the pyramid, representing the 52nd year of the Mayan first century (the 356-day solar calendar and the 260-day Mayan unique Zhuojin calendar, the period of returning to the starting point). The 13 corners represent 1 year and 13 months (Zhuo Jin Li 20 days × 13 months = 260 days). There are 91 steps on each side, 91 × 4 = 364, plus the top step, it counts 365 days. Represents a year in the solar calendar.

The construction of the pyramids is also closely related to mathematics. The precise equation shown by the six numbers has puzzled archaeologists, architects, geographers, and physicists.

Equation 3: (Pyramid) tower height square = tower surface triangle area

Equation 4: (Pyramid) base perimeter: tower height = circle circumference: radius

Equation 5: Perimeter of the base of the pyramid x2 = time division of the equator

Equation 6: Circumference of the base of the pyramid ÷ (height of the tower × 2) = pi (∏=.3 .l4l59)

Who can believe that this series of data is just a coincidence?

Then why did the pyramid last for four thousand years without falling? A practical experiment can be done.
