pyramids
The
pyramids are considered to be historically important buildings.
Thanks to its sophisticated design, in addition to the hieroglyphic
writings and distinctive pieces found there, [1] the number of
pyramids in Egypt is approximately 138 pyramids, all of which were
built for the same purpose; It is the burial of the Kings of the
Pharaohs , as they were all built on the western side of the Nile
River ; Because this is closely related to the world of the dead, and
the pyramid of Khufu in Giza is considered the largest of the
Egyptian pyramids, as it is considered one of the seven wonders of
the world, and the pyramid of Djoser located in Saqqara, it is
considered the oldest Egyptian pyramid; It was built in the 27th
century BC.
How
was the pyramids of Egypt built?
The
ancient Egyptians needed many labor hands; In order to build the
pyramids, knowing that the period of building the pyramids was not a
short period; For example, the Great Pyramid of Khufu was built over
a 23-year period, and its construction required between 20,000 and
300,000 men. It was believed that slaves were working in building the
pyramids, but research conducted by Professor Donald Redford; He is a
professor of ancient Mediterranean studies, who mentioned the
disagreement of what was prevalent regarding who worked in building
the pyramids, as he mentioned that the peasants were the ones who
worked in building the pyramids, and that was in exchange for some
incentives, such as providing food, housing, and clothes for them for
free, in addition to exempting them from taxes. The limestone
building pyramids basis, in addition to other materials, Kajeranat
used in the construction of interior walls, basalt that was used in
flooring, workers have used different tools; To be able to break
stones, such as a pick, granite hammers, and copper chisels, and
after breaking, they are transported to the construction sites
through boats in the Nile, bearing in mind that they were being
pulled and transported to the building site by a lubricated pillar,
and this was confirmed by one of the sculptures in an ancient
cemetery; As it appeared in an embodiment of a group of men (173
men), they pulled the stones with a greased pillar, and they were
raised to the top by stairs made of bricks, and covered with hardened
wax. The way the pyramids were built is considered a secret that
many scientists and researchers tried to reveal, through drawings and
murals that were revealed during the excavations and excavations in
the pyramids and many researchers believe that this secret has
appeared in one of the murals found In the Djehutihotep Tomb
(English: Djehutihotep); It shows a man pouring water in front of the
sled on the sand, which shows the trick that the ancient Egyptians
used to transport heavy stones to build the pyramids. To facilitate
the transportation of stones on the latch, and dragged by slaves.
The
most important Egyptian pyramids
Here
we mention the most important pyramids in Egypt: The Pyramids of
Giza: The three pyramids of Giza were built between 2575 and 2465
A.D. around the time of the Fourth Dynasty, in the western region of
the Nile River in northern Egypt, on a rocky plateau near Giza, and
these three pyramids were considered one of the sites of the world
heritage in 1979 AD Before UNESCO (United Nations Organization for
Science, Education, and Culture), where the pyramid of Khufu is
considered the oldest of these three pyramids, and it was named after
the second ruler of the Fourth Dynasty (Khufu), which is also called
the Great Pyramid; As its original height reaches 147 meters and the
length of all its façades from the base is approximately 230 meters.
The middle pyramid was built from the pyramids of Giza by King
Khafra; The fourth king of the Fourth Dynasty was named after him, as
it is 216 meters in length from the base, while its original height
reaches 143 meters. As for the third pyramid, it is the southern
pyramid that was built for Menkaure; Fifth of the kings of the Fourth
Dynasty, where the original height reached 66 m, while its length
reaches to 109 m from its base, and it is worth noting that these
three pyramids were stolen from inside and outside, in ancient times
, and the Middle Ages. The Pyramid of Djoser: The Pyramid of Djoser,
which is considered one of the oldest memorial buildings in the
world is located in the Saqqara region; It is part of a complex for
the burial of King Djoser, king of the Third Dynasty, and the tomb of
King Djoser was distinguished from others by the decoration of this
pyramid in terms of blue brick stones and hieroglyphic letters, [5]
It is worth noting that the design of this unique pyramid came from
the architect Imhotep, who made it a six-tiered pyramid, with a
height of 61 meters and the construction of this pyramid was in the
period between the years 2630 and 2611 BC. The Red Pyramid: In the
Dahshur region, not far from Saqqara, the Red Pyramid, which was
built for Pharaoh Sneferu (the father of King Khufu), is considered
the first true pyramid built in Egypt, and it is ranked second in
terms of the largest Egyptian pyramids in terms of its base, and it
is worth Note that the visitor can access the burial chamber in this
pyramid, and see it in full. The Pyramid of Meidum: On the edge of
the desert, the Pyramid of Meidum, built by order of King Senefru,
is considered to be the first attempt by the Pharaohs to build the
pyramids, as this pyramid is probably composed of eight layers, and
only the three upper layers of the pyramid can be seen, as it stands
tall in the middle Sands of the desert, and the Pyramid of Meidum is
considered the first pyramid that appears above the burial chamber in
the form of an arch with beautiful, beautiful walls.
