How the pyramids were built ?
Hello, I am an Egyptologist and researcher specializing in ancient architecture.
Today, we are going
to explore together the mysteries surrounding the construction of the Egyptian pyramidsas .
as soon as pharaoh khufu ascended the throne curca a 2575 BCE, work on his eternal resting place
began.the structure's architec,Hemiunu determined he would need 20 years to finish the Royal
tomb .
but what he could not predict was that this monument would remain the world's tallest manmade structure for over 3,800 years .
to construct the great pyramid ,Hemiunu would need to dig a six and a half kilometer canal quarey
enormous amounts of limestone and granite, and use kilometers of rope to pull stones into place.
today there are still vigorous debates about the exact methods the Egyptians employe.but we do
know that first hemiunu needed a construction site.
Egyptian spoke of death as going west like the setting sun and the Niles West Bank had a plateau of
bedrock that could support the pyramid better than Shifting Sand.
in a brilliant time-saving move,Mason's carved the plateau itself to look like the stones used for the rest of the pyramid.with this level foundation in place construction could begin. the project called for a staggering 25,000 workers but fortunately hemiunu had an established labor supply..Egyptians will require to perform manual labor for the government throughout the year ,and citizens from across the country came to contribute workers performed a wide range of tasks,from crafting tools and clothes to administrative work to back breaking manual labor .but contrary to popular belief ,these workers were not enslaved people in fact these citizens were housed and fed with rations better than the average Egyptian could afford. to complete the project in 20 years one block of stone would need to be quarried, transported and pushed into place every 3 minutes 365 days a year.workers averaged 10 hour days , hauling limestone from two different quarries .one was close to the site ,but it's fossil lined Yellow stone was deemed suitable only for the pyramid's interior.stones for the outside were hauled from roughly 13 kilometers away ,using 9 meter long sleds made from giant Cedar.... »
