Many journalists or Egyptologists may agree that it is a true fact that people built it with the aid of technology. Margaret Sears a journalist bases one of her articles specifically on "Who built the Great Pyramid?" (1990). She provides ample

Protests & Rebellions: Movements Creating Change. Intro: Many rebellions happen all around the world yearly‚ and the reasoning behind most of those rebellions are often related with people opposing to the decisions that an authority has made.

world. Having such few details to explain how this pyramid was constructed has led to the development of a wide variety of theories‚ all trying to explain how the pyramids came to be. Most of the theories tap into the Egyptian history and incorporate concepts from the ancient Egyptian way of life (Davidovits & Morris‚ 1988). Other theories are based on mere speculation and have little or no evidence to support them. In this perspective‚ the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza remains a mystery

Both‚ Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations believed that gods controlled everything that happened to them.

He was also credited with inventing writing – the means of retaining and transmitting knowledge to others‚ furthering his role as a messenger – “and the different languages of humanity”‚ (Pinch 2002: 209; Wilkinson 2003: 216). The Egyptians wrote in hieroglyphs‚ a writing they held sacred. Images and hieroglyphs were “[representations that] had the ability to function as the object that they presented” (Brewer and Teeter 1999: 121).

An Enigma Solved as well as the more traditional theory‚ that the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid themselves by Sears/Wilson. In my opinion the theory written by Sears and Wilson most convincingly explains the construction of the pyramids. This theory provides a clear explanation to the questions‚ which the other alternatives posed. In addition to providing logical and effective evidence to support their claims of why the Egyptians were committed to building the pyramids‚ where the materials to build

Auguste Mariette had given Maspero two newly discovered hieroglyphic texts of the time and they were of considerable difficulty to study‚ but Maspero‚ a self-taught‚ young scholar could translate

Deciphering the Rosetta stone and Bankes Obelisk was very important as it held information of the Egyptians and their language. It would also allow archaeologists to discover the true origins of the world. The stone was translated in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs‚ Demotic and Ancient Greek. Thomas Young’s approach was to use mathematics to decipher the hieroglyphs by counting the number of times the Greek words appear‚ he can then look for groups of symbols occurring the same number of times which
