Egyptian Building The Pyramids

In fact they were built by paid workers with special skills and trades in their job. And they say that the reason a lot of people believe the pyramids to be built by slaves is because an ancient historian knew they had slaves. That's what they believed they were used for but they were actually used as farm hands and helped out around the house or on the small stuff. They weren't treated as slaves per say but more as like maids or servants but they were getting paid with food, shelter, and water and they could leave whenever they wanted it was just their choice, a lot of them realized they were better of staying

     Aliens built the Egyptian pyramids. Recent research supports the theory that the Pyramids were built long before humans inhabited the area now known as Egypt. It is also nearly impossible for the Egyptians to have lifted and moved the limestone brick used to build these massive structures. Only a more advanced form of life could have constructed such an enormous undertaking, while using advanced mathematics and geography that were not yet known to ancient peoples.

Of the three theories on how the Great Pyramid was built, in descending order of acceptability, the most suitable theory is Clifford Wilson’s followed by Joseph Davidovits’ and Erich Von Däniken’s argument. Clifford Wilson’s theory is the best because he illustrates how the pyramids were built and provides the evidence to prove his theory, however; this is unlike Joseph Davidovits’ theory because Davidovits does not fully answer questions that arise concerning his theory. The three theories have similar points, but contain very different ideas on the construction of the Great Pyramid. This is obvious in Clifford Wilson’s argument where he is repeatedly disproving Von Däniken’s theory that the “gods” created the pyramids, whereas in

The first pyramid was built by Imhotep for the king Djoser in 2630 BC–2611 BC. The first pyramid was built over an underground chamber but extended a six-layered step pyramid 62 meters in height. This soon continued through pharaohs used years past. Large block stone transported from the Nile river by skilled and paid wage workers. Generally, farmers helped build these pyramids during the flood season when crops were low.

Much of the pyramids history is on the inside. One of the many things inside of the pyramids are (sometimes also known as mummies) are the bodies of the pharaohs. When pharaohs died in Ancient Egypt, they were believed to become gods. In order to properly put them at rest, they had to do a proper burial. To do this, people has to take out every organ of the body except for the heart. The heart is told to hold the soul, so they couldn’t remove it. After this, they stuff the body with cloth and sew the skin up. They put chemicals on the body to dry it out, and set for 40 days. The body was then covered in oils, precious stones, and amulets and bound with longs strips of cloth over and over again. A highly decorated mask was set on the face and wrapped again in cloth. This whole process took about 70

What makes up a pyramid? 12 lines, 5 faces, 4 triangles, 1 base, and 5 vertexes and in the case of the Great Pyramids of Giza about 2.3 million stone blocks that weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons. That according to the time it took to build them they would have had to place and set a stone every 2 to 2 and a half minutes. To put that in perspective some weigh as much or more than an armed military cargo truck. So, imagine dragging a cargo truck with nothing but some strong rope and some other people. Now if you're like most people you can lift maybe 100 pounds. However, the average powerlifter can lift 350 to 400 pounds and that's just lift not pack around or drag across acres of land. Now how did the Egyptians build the Great Pyramid of Giza with blocks that weigh up to 15 tons with the technology they had then? It’s clearly very obtuse to think the pyramids were built by the Egyptians and the Egyptians alone. The question is, who helped them?

The accusations of the egyptians being aided by aliens comes from the Ancient Sumerians, whose gods were supposedly “working-class aliens” (Aliens 3). The Ancient Sumerians were pretty similar to the Ancient Egyptians. They both lived relatively close, at different time periods tho, and both were pretty ahead of their time. The Sumerians worshipped gods known as the Anunnaki. In the 1970s Zecharia Sitchin found some interesting things within his interpretations of Ancient Sumerian works. According to him, the gods come from a planet called Nibiru. The gods then came to Earth to mine gold and take it back to their planet. He claims as follows…”When they rebelled against poor working conditions, the decision was made to genetically modify prehistoric humans (Homo erectus) by incorporating Anunnaki DNA and creating a new slave species. In the blink of an eye, Homo sapiens was born (that’s us).” This reasoning is highly questioned for obvious reasons. However, it leads to more proof. The task to build the Great pyramid of Khufu would require 20,000 workers in order to complete it within 20 years. This would require the workers to work 10-hour work days, and placing a block every few minutes (Aliens 4). It would take workers even longer to build the pyramid if moving of ramps was needed (Aliens 4). There’s also questions about how they could

The Egyptian pyramids have been the subject of many outlandish claims and construction theories for centuries. The Great Pyramid for example has been associated with pyramid power, curses, Atlantis, Mexican pyramids, Stonehenge, Nazca, the Bermuda Triangle, Biblical prophecy, Martian faces, advanced civilizations, space aliens, cavity resonators, and even levitation. It is not surprising that some who have proposed such theories have been dubbed "pyramidiots". This paper will attempt to give a more logical solution to the methods ancient Egyptians may have had used, and the problems they may have had, using factual information, scientific evidence and a bit of common sense.

So many facts and findings have been discovered about The Great Pyramid. There is still a lot of information that discovers and scientist may never find out. The Great Pyramid is now a world wonder that people travel to from far and near. This world wonder was built over a twenty-year span by Pharaoh Khufu and is the largest pyramid in the world. Located on the Giza Plateau, The Great Pyramid was built in approximately 2550 B.C. This pyramid is over 400 feet tall and was built with over two million limestone blocks. The Great Pyramid was built for the purpose of a tomb.

that they must have been constructed by aliens, while others believe the Egyptians possessed a technology that has been lost back in time.

For many years, Egyptologist assumed that slaves built the pyramid. However, recent studies have shown that slaves may have not been involved at all. Many Egyptologists seem to have their own answer to who built the pyramids. Dr. Toby Wilkinson of Cambridge University, believes that, due to a working tax, it is likely that those who built the great pyramid were recruited from villages all over Egypt. Every person payed their taxes to the government by working for a certain period each year. “When local officials came to demand that you turn up for duty there was very little escaping that. So they weren’t slaves, but I suspect that they weren’t [sic] willing workers either,” (Geographic History). Dr. Amy Calvert, writes that those who built

Africans built numerous memorable buildings including the pyramids and the Woolworth Building. There are about 138 pyramids in Egypt as of 2008. Most pyramids were built as tombs for the countries Pharos’s and their consorts. Recent discoveries have found that paid workers built the pyramids. The workers came from poor Egyptian families from the north and the south and were respected for their work. Some scholars say that it took 10,000 workers more than 30 years to complete one single pyramid. Though they were not slaves, they lived a life of hard labor. In an excavation their skeletons showed signs of arthritis. These workers spent their entire life away at a job they may not even live to see completed. Many Africans throughout history have worked very hard their entire lives to reach a goal that by the time they die may not even be reached. An example of this would be the Civil Rights and the people that influenced it. Not only did Africans build ancient monuments but they also build

The pyramids were built as a tomb for the pharaoh. Their belief was that the top point of the pyramid was the gate for the soul to travel to the afterlife and return to earth if chosen. These tombs were built which line up with certain stars and planets.

Some of the earliest history of the Pyramid comes from a Greek traveler named Herodotus of Halicanassus. He visited Egypt around 450 BC and included a description of the Great Pyramid in a history book he wrote. Herodotus was told by his Egyptian guides that it took twenty-years for a force of 100,000 oppressed slaves to build the pyramid. Stones were lifted into position by the use of immense machines. The purpose of the structure, according to Herodotus's sources, was as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu (whom the Greeks referred to as Cheops).
