Pyramids
by Jack Schafer
It
is commonly held that ancient Egyptians built the pyramids to be tombs for
kings and some times for queens, from the 3rd dynasty to the 25th dynasty
(2751 - 651 B.C). We can follow the steps the pyramids made from the
oblong pile of sand above the simple tomb that the ancient Egyptians used
to make in the long time before dynasties time to the well known shape of
the pyramidal tombs.
In Saqqara's and Manf's tombs we can find some examples of the sand piles
above mastabas (special tombs from the old empire) which are built from
bricks and belongs to the 1st dynasty (3001 B.C), and the oldest example
of this shape is a sandy basis covered with raw bricks but after the end
of this dynasty they built a more strong tomb of bricks with its four
sides higher than before and look like four steps. Till the start of the
3rd. dynasty there was not any difference between the nobles' tombs and
kings' tombs from the planning point of view but actually from this time
the kings tombs began to take the pyramidal shape. Within a short time
after that king Zosar built a new shape for tombs that's Saqqara's pyramid
which was built by Emhoteb who was Zosar's best engineer. This was not a
true pyramid but it consisted from six huge steps (mastabas) one over
another, with 60m height and the base was 109m from north to south and
121m from east to west, under these steps there were many burial rooms for
the king and his family.
We can see the 2nd stage in the pyramid's progress in the one in Maidum
(80km south of Giza), king Hony the last king in the 3rd dynasty started
building this pyramid and king Snefro finished it who was the 1st king in
the 4th. dynasty (2671 B.C), who built it to be stepped as Zosar's pyramid
but he filled its eight steps to make the four side of the pyramid
straight from the button to the top.
 Finally
we come to the 3rd and the final stage of the pyramids' progress by the
great king Cheops's pyramid in Giza. The base area of this pyramid is more
than 52,843 square meters and its height is 146m but it lost about 9m from
the top, its four sides which exactly face the four original directions
are inclined with an angle of 51 to 52 degrees, its only entrance is on
the north side and its height is about 16m, the royal burial room which is
made of granite exists inside the pyramid's body and leads to it an
inclined passage. Inside this room still the sarcophagus without a cover
and in the north and the south walls of this room there're two openings
each of them leads to outside the pyramid through a long narrow passage.
The ceiling of this room is made of nine granite blocks each of them is
400 tons weight. Above this room five rooms four of them with a flat
ceiling and the 5th has an inclined sharp ceiling to reduce the danger of
collapsing under the weight of the building above it. When the king's body
has been put in the sarcophagus the room has been closed with three plates
of stone each one of them takes the shape of a sliding door and then with
a huge blocks of granite in the end of the passage.
The position of the great pyramid is more strange than the pyramid itself.
In the east of the pyramid and directly in front of the center of the east
side a funeral temple connected through a long passage with another temple
on the border of the desert. On the south side of this passage buried five
sun boats in hole underground three of them on the east side and two on
the south side.
Some people believe the Pyramids were built a minimum of 8,000 years
before they were taken over and modified into tombs. It is speculated that
they were built not as temples or tombs, but as machines, utilizing an
energy that in the 20th century we learned could be harnessed to sharpen
razor blades and keep meat from decaying. But we have no idea how that
energy was used, or what the machines actually did. Could they have been
built to perform some sort of energy transformation? This is a field of
interest that New Age Web Works hopes to pursue in the near future.
