AMAZING ABOUT EGYPTIAN PYRAMID
1:Precise Alignment with stars
The greater pyramid of giza is aligned almost perfectly with the cardinal points(north,south,east and west).some researchers believe it was aligned using the stars,particularly orion's belt
2:Advanced engineering for its time
The greater pyramid of giza,built for pharaoh khufu,was the tallest man-made a structure for over 38000 years.it originally stood 146.6 meters(481 feet high)
3:Million of stone used
The great pyramid contains about 2.3 million limestone blocks,each weighting between 2.5 tons.the total weight of the pyramid is estimated to around 6.5 million tons
4:No mortal used
The stones fit so precisely that not even a razor blade can fit between them.despite this,no mortal was used in their contruction-just expert craftsmanship
5:Mysterious contruction techniques
To this day,historians and engineers debate how the pyramids were built.Theories include massive ramps,counterweights,and even water flotation methods
6:Hidden chambers and passeges
Modern technology like ground-penetrating radar has revealed possible hidden chambers in the Greatest pyramid.scientists are still trying to uncover their secrets
7:It was once covered in white limestone
Originally,the pyramids were covered with smooth,white limestone casing stones,which reflrcted sunlight,making them shine like "mountains of light"most of this outer layer was removed over time
8:Not built by slaves
Contrary to popular beliefs,the pyarmids were not built by slaves but by skilled laborers who were-fed
and housed in worker villages near the site
9:OLDEST PYRAMID IS NOT AT GIZA
The step pyramid of Djoser,built in saqqara around 2630 BCE,is the oldest pyramid and a predecessor to the smooth-sided pyramid
10:Still full of mysterios
Even today,reseachers are uncovering new information about the pyramids,using Ai robotics nand scanning technology to explore their interiors without damging them
The pyramid still the remain one of the greatest wonders of human civilization,showcasing the intelligence and ambitious of ancient egypt.
