Mainly, the Egyptian pyramids are tourist attractions in the world.
Therefore, each year thousands of people of different nationalities visit.
Meanwhile, everyone must ask themselves: How were these pyramids built? Who built them? How much time do you dedicate to building the pyramids?
In this sense, in Ancient Egypt the pyramids were built by the pharaohs (Egyptian kings).
In short, the main objective of its construction was to show the power of the pharaoh who built them and served as a tomb for him.
What are the main pyramids of Egypt?
Firstly, the main Egyptian pyramids are Keops (2530 BC), Menquerinos (2471 BC) and Kefrén (2500 BC).
However, the names that received these constructions have reference to the pharaoh who built them.
Thus, the mayor of the pyramids is that of Keops, which took approximately 25 years to complete.
Therefore, there are 10,000 people who work there, placing more than two million stone blocks (blocks weighing 2 and 10 tons and averaging 140 m).
Y, how did you build your company? Through studies carried out by experts in Egyptian history.
They discovered that the slaves that built the pyramids were not used.
Therefore, workers were paid for their services.
So, how did Egyptian workers manage to build 140-meter-high pyramids?
Or even how to raise more than two million blocks? It's also how it was built.
Furthermore, do you have your vertices geometrically aligned with the four cardinal points (north, south, east, west)?
Curiosities about some construction theories
Therefore, throughout history, there are several theories about the construction of Egyptian pyramids.
Furthermore, one of these theories propagated that these enormous constructions were built by alien beings (extraterrestrials).
Thus, in the film “Stargate” (1994), by director Roland Emmerich, this theory is well portrayed.
Therefore, some archaeologists, experts in studies on Ancient Egypt, such as Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass, claim that the pyramids were not built by extraterrestrials.
At the same time, other theories state that external ramps were built parallel to the pyramids to facilitate the movement of blocks, which were removed with roofs.
Tree trunks are even used at the bases to facilitate the removal of these blocks.
In short, there are many speculations and assumptions about the mystery of the construction of the pyramids.
However, the only certainty we have is that they were built by workers and not by slaves.
However, the methods and techniques used in construction have not yet been revealed.
