There’s no wonder if anyone wants to have
a pyramid picture, since Egypt pyramids have more than 4
millenniums and are still the source of numerous questions and
curiosities about how were they made and by who. The pyramids of
Egypt are among the biggest constructions in the world and are
wonders of the world. One of them is the only wonder of the
seven that still exists: the pyramid of Cheops. How the rock
blocks were laid is a question that still gives birth to various
theories. One of them says that for the pyramid construction
was built a platform, straight or in spiral, which was arisen
once with the pyramid. The platform was covered with water and
mud and made the rock blocks transportation easier. Another
theory sustain that the blocks was arose with the help of some
long levers. Herodot wrote that for the pyramid's construction
were necessary over 20 years and the work of 100.000 people, but
the theories are different, so other said that were necessary
300.000 people, and other 60.000 people were necessary to
transport the rock blocks from the place of the excavation to
the place of the building. In the end, the Egyptologists decided
that there were used 2.400.000 rock stones, about 20 years of
work, a rock block being laid at every 2 minutes. Each rock
blocks had between 2 tones and 80 tones. But these dates don't
include the force, the work and the time necessary for the
projection, the ground level and for the supervision. One
recently theory says that the people who worked at the pyramid’s
building weren’t slaves but paid workers. The Great Pyramid
amazes also through its interior arrangement, very different
from the one of its sisters: it has a bigger number of passages
and rooms. |
