I agreed to my
jiefu to search details regarding the
Egypt pyramid.This word '
Egypt' surely is hard to spell,it takes me many times to spell it correctly.You can say this is a punishment as i had
forgotten his present.Ya,i had
forgotten a lot of present for my friends too,oh my,short term! This goes nothing:
The pharaoh Khufu, like the pharaohs before him, began planning his 'house of eternity' as soon as he took the throne. A spot was chosen for building on the west bank of the Nile. Cemeteries were usually built on the west bank because the sun 'died' on the western horizon every night.
Khufu's architects were wise and experienced men. They knew the importance of building the
Pharaoh's final resting place so that its sides faced directly north, south, east and west.
They planned a large pyramid- the largest one ever built in ancient Egypt. The outlines of the pyramid were measured and marked in the desert sand.
Then the building began. Large blocks of stone were cut from quarries nearby. They were dragged by groups of men across the desert to the site of the pyramid and set in place. Most of the workers were farmers who worked on building the pyramid during the flood season when their fields were under water.
After the first level of blocks was in place, the workers built ramps of
mud brick, limestone chips and clay. The workers dragged the large stones up the ramps to build the next level of the pyramid.
For about 20 years, hundreds of men worked on building the pyramid. As they built each level, they also built up the ramps around the pyramid.
When the pyramid was almost finished, a special block covered in shining metal (either gold or
electrum) was placed on the top of the pyramid.
Then, blocks of white limestone from quarries across the Nile were used to cover the pyramid. The blocks were trimmed to make the outside of the pyramid smooth.
Finally, the pyramid was finished.
Why did the ancient Egyptians use the pyramid shape?
Egyptologists have developed many theories about why the tombs of the early pharaohs were built in the pyramid shape. Here are three different ideas:
-The pyramid represented the first land to appear at the beginning of time- a hill called 'Ben-Ben'.
-The pyramid had sloping sides so that the dead pharaoh could symbolically climb to the sky and live forever.
-The pyramid represented the rays of the sun
Isn't it fantastic! The
Egyptians is so,how to say?,smart intelligent?Forget it!
