And the Pyramids are the tombs of ownership of each of which bears the name of the king who was buried where builders, and the hierarchical structure here is the stage of the development of cemeteries in the architecture of ancient Egypt.

Great Pyramid of CheopsOne of the seven wonders of the world and occupies an area of approximately 13 acres and the original height of 146 meters and 137 meters and the length of each side base 230 meters. As for the weights cut stones ranging between tons and eight tons or more.

The building of the Great Pyramid took nearly twenty years, building corridors and lower parts of the pyramid ten years and that, according to Herodotus, the Greek historian, who visited Egypt in the fourth century BC, after more than 2000 years of building the pyramid and heard these stories and other Some priests and narrators.

The Great Pyramid is a mountain industrial weighs six million five hundred thousand tons, and is composed of stones each weighing twelve tons, and these stones court paving and settings to an end half a millimeter, and this is already worth admiring the ancient Egyptian civilization, but it is much larger, Pyramid is one of the greatest puzzles faced since the beginning of human civilization. He claimed a lot of people that just a cemetery luxurious king (Cheops), but scientists current era believe that this is the object of ridicule, has been building the Great Pyramid for the highest and greatest much evidence for that is those facts amazing enjoyed by this great edifice which collected (Charles Smith) in the famous book (our heritage at the Great Pyramid) in 1864.

Do you know that the height of the pyramid multiplied billion equals 14967000 kilometers, the distance between the Earth and the sun, and orbit that passes from the center pyramid divides continents of the world into two equal halves completely, and that the basis of the pyramid divided by twice the height gives us a number (lodolp) famous (3.14) and is located in the calculators , and the four corners of the pyramid is heading to the four cardinal directions in accuracy so amazing that some scientists objected days on the grounds that the presence of a small angle deviation from the original actors, but after the discovery of modern electronic devices to measure proved to be the corners of the pyramid is more correct and accurate.

Pyramid of KhafreThe Pyramid of Khafre is one of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Built by King Khafre, the fourth king of the Fourth Dynasty son of King Khufu. Married Princess berths Ankh.

Pyramid of Khafre is located south west of the pyramid of Khufu's father. And has a height of 143.5 meters and the length of each side 215.5 meters, and inclination angle 53.10. Located at the ground level, and the entrance leads to a corridor bearish, roof of granite and decline angle 22. And ends at the barricade leading to the corridor horizontal, then Ramp leading to compartment called error burial chamber is empty carved in the rock, and leads the vestibule to barricade last rise to the top corridor horizontal ends chamber burial, and this room ceiling Jmalone constructed limestone, and are almost the middle of the pyramid, Chephren pyramid fired name (the great).

Length of each side of ribs 5,108 meters and a height of 65.5 meters, and now 62 meters. The inclination angle 51 ° 20'25 ". And the north entrance. Rises 4 meters above ground level. And leads to a corridor 31 meters long bearish. And the angle of his decline is simple. Built of limestone, granite and roof. And at the end of a corridor lined with stone, lead to a horizontal corridor where 3 barricades after the burial chamber. Bhaaly found a wooden coffin him his name and has a mummy reserved at the British Museum. Launched Menkaure pyramid Name (Bible).

The scientists observed that it contains a gap small circular to exceed a diameter of 20 cm and enable archaeologists to know the secret of the existence of the gap after noticing very accurate, it is found that sunlight entering through the gap days and only one year and on the tomb of the pharaoh of Kora completely and even odder that this today marks the birthday of the pharaoh.

Properties of the pyramids1 - The height of the Great Pyramid in Egypt (Giza) 149.4 meters and the distance between the Earth and the Sun2 - $ 149.4 million kilometers and the direction of the door in the direction of Polaris also indicate3 - sided pyramid angles to the original four trends completely.

4 - the number of stones that built the Great Pyramid 2.3 million stone.5 - The three pyramids stones enough to build a wall area of 2 cubic meters and extends a length of 100 thousand square kilometers around the globe along the equator.

6 - N Mortar never to install Ahram stones, but use the type of oil drilling fills stone then ignites and then placed the other stone spoke disrupting air abides stone (the idea of Cassatt air)

7 - Did you know that pyramid measurements determine the distance between the sun and the earth?8 - Did you know that the area of the base of the Great Pyramid twelve acres and a half?9 - the average weight of each stone in the pyramid 302.5 tons.10 - Herodotus said: (100000) man who built this pyramid for over 20 years.11 - Can you believe that the temperature inside the room King largest pyramid throughout the year does not exceed 22 degrees Celsius!! The reason for this is the existence of holes Ichterqan rocks on both sides of the pyramid.

12 - Scientists have analyzed the areas of stones pyramids in Giza, and found traces of chemicals prove that they cut these stones from the far reaches of southern Egypt level with chemicals, which confirms that the Pharaohs were aware of chemistry.

Hierarchical structure resist earthquakesEgypt has passed waves of earthquakes varying degrees of seriousness only the pyramids in all its forms and locations did not crumble or turn to ruins, like other buildings and monuments.

Thanks to God who made the pyramid enduring and inspired human idea that be a form consistent Staff strong architecture resists impact quake or because vibrations construction product earthquake and aftershocks make gravity upper parallel horizontally with the rest of the roles occur cracks and fragmented vertically which destroys building the pyramid, the base of heavy The head that serves as a point (zero) occur stable and balanced horizontally supports vertical construction not collapse.

The Americans took advantage of the idea of the hierarchical structure they built hotels worldwide, they called the Luxor Hotel giant for earthquake resistance in the form of a pyramid, and to be a spa or in the sense the healthiest tourist Hospital.According to the magazine as number 173 - November 1989 this news which confirms this speech "the highest skyscraper in the world will be held soon in Japan.

And a height of a thousand meters as announced by a Japanese construction company has completed the initial mapping of the building (Sky City), which will be set up in the form ofPyramid to withstand earthquakes and will be staying with 35 thousand inhabitants 135 thousand employees in addition to dozens of schools, hospitals, public parks, sports stadiums, estimated the cost of the building, which will be held in Tokyo 32.4 billion U.S. dollars.

Historic About Sphinx

Sphinx - A height of 18 meters, and 57 meters tall, and 5,000 years old.

Why built the Sphinx??There are some inscriptions placed two kings of ancient kingsSays that the Sphinx represents a form of the sun godShe says the purpose of this statue dimensions of all kinds of evilCemetery ho's pyramidsAnd the meaning of the word Sphinx in Pharaonic language (Mr.)

Sphinx sculpture

Sculpture Sphinx from the bedrock basalt and maybe created for you to head smaller than the body because the body was buried under the sand preferred retains its structure intact from erosion desert, unlike the head that was buried, and revealed many times over the centuries, been removed sand from the body of my father Sphinx completely in 1905 to reveal the beauty of this statue.

Along foot 15 m and up full length to 45 m, high head 10 p.m. and offer 4 m and because the composition of the statue of several layers each smoother than other has eroded some areas and kept other form and so it has lost a lot of the finer details of the form of the original

The most common theory that King Khafre (2558-2532 BCE) of the fourth dynasty is ordered the construction of the Sphinx, Khafre is one of the sons of Khufu (the Great Pyramid) and there is a straight corridor between the Sphinx and pyramid East (the tomb of Chephren)

And is almost of the same age pyramid East, which was built with 2540 BCE, and some scientists estimated the age of the Sphinx between 7000 to 10,000 years at the expense of the degree of erosion of the body and the head severe desert erosion factors and humidity
