Egyptian Pyramids Research Paper
he Great Pyramids of Giza have had a great mystery surrounding them since we first discovered them after the Egyptians had long been gone from there. People have theorized how the great pyramids were built. Some have suggested that they must have been constructed by extraterrestrials, while others believe the Egyptians possessed a technology that has been lost through the ages. Most likely lost in the Library of Alexandria along with the rest of histories greatest secrets including how they get the caramel in the Caramilk bars.
Since there is no hard evidence suggesting that extraterrestrial beings do exist we have to presume that humans even in one of the earliest stages of life built these monumental structures using nothing but some mad …show more content…
Measuring out two pieces of string or board other item that can be pulled straight and that measure 3 and 4 feet long. 2. These will be the two "short" legs of your right triangle, so lay them down in as close to a right angle as you can get by just eyeballing them. 3. Take a third piece of string or board or what have you, and measure it to 5 feet long. 4. Make this last piece the "long" leg of the triangle. Once you get everything arranged neatly, if your legs are 3, 4, and 5 feet long, you'll have a right angle.
Demonstration of the 3-4-5 measurement system
This works because of the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the sum of the square of the two short legs equals the square of the long leg (the hypotenuse). In other words, (3x3) + (4x4) = (5x5). Sure enough, 9 + 16 does equal 25.4 This is just one way of many that they could have used to ensure the Pyramids had that perfect …show more content…
The limestone removed to shape the body of the beast was evidently employed to build the two temples to the east of the Sphinx, on a terrace lower than the floor of the Sphinx enclosure, one almost directly in front of the paws, the other to the south of the first one7.
There are some who argue that the Sphinx pre-dates the pyramids and that there was a solar cult acting in the Giza area before Giza became the necropolis of the fourth dynasty kings. It has been proposed that the Sphinx, the Sphinx temple, the mortuary temple and the valley temple of Khafre were built at the same time and that their attribution to Khafre is erroneous. Referring to the Inventory Stela discovered by Mariette and the Dream Stele some have suggested that the Sphinx was in fact renovated during the Old Kingdom. However, this view is unpopular amongst Egyptologists and some who once proposed it now reject the
