    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,…

    WBuilding a pyramid was no easy task in Ancient Egypt, it would be a real challenge to build the Great Pyramid, it would probably still take at least a year to build these up-to-480-feet giants. It actually took two years to construct the sixth biggest pyramid, the Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas. “On November 14, 1991, at the Excalibur Hotel, Chairman of Circus Circus, William Bennett announced plans for construction of a new pyramid-shaped resort in Las Vegas . . . On October 15, 199, Luxor opened.” It cost three hundred seventy-five million to make, with about 2,000 workers working on it at a time.…

    In the current century, many opinions have surfaced that have changed the questioning of how these magnificent creations were built. During scientific research in the recent decades, evidence has arrived that challenges alternate theories of how the pyramids were constructed. The results include the discovery of new chemical compounds found in the stone of the temples that lead to an entirely different approach of how the pyramids were built. The theory that will be further discussed in this document is perhaps the most loathed among archeologists. It depicts that the pyramids were built by pouring one of the earliest types of cement cast from synthetic material…

    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

    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.…

    Early Pyramids Essay

    • 552 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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…

    There are various interpretations of how the Great Pyramid was constructed, the three main explanations are: Von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods, Davidovits/Morris’s 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 the pyramid were sourced and how the materials were transported to the construction site.…

    The granite slabs the Egyptians used to build the pyramids weighed forty tons apiece. They were able to move these blocks without the invention of the wheel or cart. 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.…
