    The Colosseum, Chartres Cathedral, and the Pyramid of King Djoser are the greatest achievements of architectural history. Djoser, who is also known by Netjerikhet, Tosorthos, and Sesorthos, (c. 2670 BCE) was the first king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt. Before Djoser's reign, it started off as a mastaba tombs. The mastaba tombs were originally made for graves. The tombs were made of dried clay brick, shaped rectangular with a flat roofed structure. Each of these tombs were made to entomb the deceased. Although, Djoser's vizier, Imhotep, designed a building that his king would be far more impressed with. Imhotep piled up the mastabas one by one each top of each other to create…

    Wheel and axle is two disks or cylinders, each one with a different radius. They are used in a chain reaction where the wheel has something done to it to make the axle turn. They are used in cars and door knobs. An inclined plane is a plane that’s inclined at an angle. They are used to make work easier over a longer distance. They work by making someone go further to have less strain from being horizontal or vertical. Some examples of this is a hill, slides, and ladder. A lever is a bar that helps move heavy loads. They can transfer effort and work. They work by pushing on one side with weight on the other. Copies of this is teeter totters and wheel barrows. A wedge looks like a slice of cake or pizza but is usually wood or metal and is 3D. They are used to cut wood and can do many other things like hold doors open. They work by separating or holding items together. A screw is a cylinder with an inclined plane wrapped around it. It does work by pressing things together or putting things together. For example, they can press fruit making juice and books. A pulley is a wheel with a rope that lifts heavy weights. This can make work easier when oneself wants something from off the ground higher. They do work by getting pulled on one side to bring the object up. They can be used in construction to move like metal and…

    The construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza is one of the greatest mysteries in history. They are the largest and most elaborate structures built in the ancient world, which is what considers them to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramids of Giza are made up of three separate pyramids for three different pharaohs: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure who were all pharaohs during the Fourth Dynasty (2,575-2,450 BCE), also known as the Old Kingdom. Khufu’s pyramid was built first and is known as the Great Pyramid. It took over 20 years to build his pyramid with the help of hundreds of thousands of peasants. Khafre, Khufu’s son, built his own pyramid a few years later and this pyramid appears to be larger than Khufu’s, however,…

    Researchers believe that today there are only about 80 pyramids left from ancient Egypt. The pyramids were built as tombs for the Pharaohs and their queens. During their time on earth, it was believed that the Pharaohs were the link between the people and gods and when the Pharaohs died, they became gods. Since they expected to become gods in the afterlife, the Pharaohs had massive pyramid tombs built for them and filled them with all the things they would need in the afterlife.…

    The huge stones used in the construction of the Egyptian pyramids were transported by being pulled over wet sand on wooden sledges. Each Egyptian pyramid consists of millions of 2.5 to 15 ton blocks. The most common theory for how these blocks were moved is that they were placed on wooden sledges and pulled up sand ramps for elevation. When scientists started to test this theory they realized it was unrealistic because the sand caused too much friction and clumped making it almost impossible for the sledge to be pulled. Although, when a team of Dutch engineers was testing out different methods the Egyptians could have used, they might have found an answer to the problem. They discovered that using water to make the sand wet stopped the sand…

    Pyramids and ziggurats both provide archeologists with a great deal of information about the ancient cultures that constructed them. When comparing The Great Pyramids of Egypt with The Ziggurats of Mesopotamia and the Mesoamerican Pyramids, the differences between them are more apparent than the similarities that they share. The structures only appear to be similar. Both have the general form of a pyramid. Some other similarities shared by these structures can be interpreted from a religious context of those who had them erected and what role they served for the society. Among the differences are their usage, how they were decorated, their designs, and the materials used in their construction.…

    The building of pyramids first started around 2700 B.C. when the first step pyramid was built for King Zoser in Saqqara, Egypt. Ever since then, pyramids have been commonly associated with Egyptian society. There were various types of pyramids, including (but not limited to) Mastabas, step-pyramids, and the bent-pyramid. Mastabas were not the true pyramid shape, neither were step-pyramids or the bent-pyramid for that matter. Mastabas were shaped similarly to pyramids, but were flat-topped and had sloping sides. Step pyramids were essentially just Mastabas piled on top of one another because, like the name implies, they consisted of "steps" going all the way to the top of the structure. The bent-pyramid was Egypt's first attempt…

It is amazing how the Egyptians built such big structures with such little technology because they were perfect in almost every dimension, it was all done by the physical strength of men, and many of the pyramids still stand today.…
