Research Paper On Pyramids

Pyramids originated from the Egyptians. They expressed a worldwide view of the Egyptians. First of all, they were symbols of the pharaoh's authority and divine status. It reflects hierarchical status. In the Egyptian society there were slaves, the commoners, the pharaohs. If you were to put them in order the top of the pyramid would the pharaohs below them the commoners, then slaves and so forth. The most important one would be on the top which is the pharaohs. Also it was a testimony of the pharaoh's ability to marshal Egypt's resources. They were also used for tombs. Their worldview was very religious too, because the pyramids were a symbol of a gateway of the next life. This is seen as inside the pyramids the Egyptians buried

     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 history started in 2650 B.C.E at the death of King Djoser. His architect, Imhotep, built a design of pyramid called the Step Pyramid. This was supposed to represent a large stairway to which he would climb up to the sun-god in the sky. This sparked the interest in pyramids, which soon gave ideas to other architects.

     Paralleling the pyramids in Egypt were the ziggurats of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia (meaning between two rivers, the Tigress and Euphrates) began making these structures around roughly 2000 BC. They were made of bricks that they produced on the building’s work site. There were sun-dried bricks to make up the solid inside of the ziggurat, and there were kiln fired bricks that made up the structures façade. These bricks were much smaller than the stones used in Egypt and also did not have to be brought from far away. Some of the ziggurats were built on top of older ones. Like Egyptian pyramids, the ziggurat was believed to be a kind of gateway between heaven and earth, but unlike the pyramids, the ziggurats where not tombs for kings. Rather they were believed to be the earthly homes of gods. Egyptians built their massive structures outside of major populated areas. But the ziggurats were in prominent areas. Cities had their own patron god or goddess (some places even had two ziggurats, one for a god of both sexes) and priests were the only ones allowed into these temples. They had the honor of catering to the needs of the gods and were powerful figures in their respective communities. Mesopotamians also built the Tower of Babel, which was supposed to have been built as bridge from earth to heaven. It was most likely located in Neo-Babylonia (home of the Hanging Gardens) and was also one of

The aliens had more than enough incentive to help build these structures, especially the pyramids. They took advantage of the Egyptians need for a sacred place to bury their kings and the obtuse triangle formed by Orion's Belt. They lined up the structures with the stars of Orion's Belt to create the energy column. Then, they created a complex tunnel system, so no one could ever find their transporter and then they left through the triangular column that forms between the pyramids and Orion. Only to be able to return or communicate at night when the column reforms. Who do they communicate with, you may ask? The governments,

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 more than 100 pyramids that punctuate the west bank of the Nile have intrigued mankind for millennia. Numerous articles and books have discussed the pyramids of Egypt and the wondrous tombs, sculpture, jewelry, and artwork they secreted. However, pyramids are found in various locations in the world beyond Egypt—most notably in South America, Mesoamerica, Mesopotamia, India, and Cambodia. Is it possible that the ancient civilizations of Central America and South America, as an example, somehow came to be aware of the pyramids of the ancient Egyptians or did the Mesoamerican pyramids arise spontaneously from the culture of the Inca and subsequently from that of the Maya? The latter is believed to be the case. There is no convincing

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.

First, the Maya pyramids are constructed symmetrically in order for them to stand for thousands of years. You can also tell that “Temple I in the great plaza,” was constructed symmetrically by drawing a line down the middle of the piece of artwork and you can see that it is exactly the same on both sides. I have actually been to the pyramids of chichen itza, which is similar to “Temple I in the great plaza,” and I was able to walk up the pyramid and it was so fascinating to be able to see how these pyramids and temples were made. The amount of time and energy that was put into these was so fascinating just in order for these pyramids and temples to stay constructed and stay constructed for so long. There were a lot of engineering and mathematical skills that were put into making “Temple I in the great plaza,” in order for the structure to be so

There are a variety of theories that try to explain how the Great Pyramids of Egypt were constructed. Theories as farfetched as aliens to theories a bit more reasonable such as intricate ramps and machines have been devised and in general they have been a great topic of curiosity throughout history. For example, questions such as why there were so many pyramids built in a particular period of time all within 30° longitude. Pyramids are not just exclusive to Egypt, they can also be found in Asia, South America, and Central America. Naturally, the question of how so many places in the world, separated by oceans and great distances, decided to construct such similar structures without ever interacting with each other, all around a pretty narrow

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.

In the deserts of Egypt lie the colossal remains of an ancient civilization. These enormous works of human endeavor are the only member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World that time has passed down to us. These are, of course, the great pyramids of ancient Egypt. But these imposing structures were not built to impress civilization millennia down the road. The pyramids in fact had a purpose to the ancient Egyptians. While they seem very simple in nature, as they are simply four-sided pyramids with square bases, they had a meaning for those that had them built. Even by today’s standards, the pyramids of ancient Egypt were an impressive feat of engineering, due to their enormous size, both in building materials and finished product.
