Yes, it was! We now roughly know that the direct builders of the pyramids were tens of thousands of ordinary workers who had freedom during the flood of the Nile River in ancient Egypt. We also have a general understanding of how the stones used to build the pyramids were moved and built. However, the problem was far from that simple. The many incredible mysterious phenomena and signs of a high-level civilization surrounding the pyramids were indeed unbelievable to the ancient Egyptian kingdom, which was still in the early stage of human civilization. The above answer alone was obviously not enough to explain it.
The Great Pyramid had too many inconceivable aspects, such as mathematics. Modern architects regarded mathematics as an indispensable tool, and ancient Egyptian mathematics was quite primitive compared to the mathematics of other ancient peoples. First of all, the ancient Egyptians were not as good at mathematics as the ancient Babylonians. The Egyptians had a closer value for Pi, which was 256/81, but they could only solve simple linear equations and did not know the various properties of the right triangle that the Babylonians had mastered. The Egyptians did not find a way to determine the value of a number by its position, nor did they simplify the fraction into an agreed cardinal number. This simplified procedure was combined with the numerical value system of counting in the Babylonians. We even doubt whether Egyptian arithmetic in the pyramid era can be called mathematics in the modern sense. Multiplication and division boils down to addition. Multiplying numbers was to repeat the number the required number of times and then add the numbers together. Division was similar. This method of numbering made it extremely difficult to calculate, and like the Roman numbering system, it was a dead end for most of history.
In astronomy, the Egyptians were not as good as the Babylonians. Perhaps it was because the Babylonians believed in astrology. They observed the astronomical phenomena very carefully and left behind many astronomical records. In the ancient Egyptian literature, there were no records of mathematical instruments, nor were there any observations of eclipses, lunar eclipses, or other celestial phenomena. However, we found from the inscriptions on the coffin cover and the astronomical map that the Egyptians divided the stars in the celestial equator into thirty-six groups. They divided a year into thirty-six periods with ten-day cycles. Every time a constellation rose to the horizon just before dawn, it marked the beginning of a ten-day cycle. That was all. Scholars in Egypt generally believed that there was evidence that the ancient Egyptians did not have much knowledge of astronomy, nor did they study the astronomical phenomena. However, the wonderful relationship between the pyramids and the celestial bodies showed profound astronomical knowledge. The chief architect of the Giza complex could accurately calculate the movement of the celestial bodies thousands of years ago. This made archaeologists puzzled!
After combining the mathematics and astronomy discussions, they would talk about the precision of the pyramid's construction. The Egyptian cubit was a common unit of measurement during the pyramid era in ancient Egypt. It referred to the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. Its accuracy could be estimated. It could be seen that it was very crude and primitive. In other words, there was no unified and precise measurement unit in ancient Egypt during the pyramid era. (The conversion between the Egyptian cubit and the modern unit of length still seems to be inconclusive.）Therefore, in theory, the ancient Egyptian architecture should not be precise at all. However, the Great Pyramid, which was built at the dawn of human civilization, still showed a design that was accurate to the millimeter. Such high precision was difficult to achieve even in the 19th century of the mechanical age. Its high precision was almost mythical! The Great Pyramid's north was facing north, the east was facing east, the south was facing south, and the west was facing west. The difference was no more than three points from the arc (the difference in the south was less than two points). One had to know that the 3 minutes of an arc (about 5% of 1 degree), in terms of percentage, was only 0.015% error. No matter which era or building it was, such accuracy was unbelievable. It exceeded the accuracy of the Meridian Building of the Greenwich Observatory in England, which was built with extremely high precision. Even if the position of the base of the Great Pyramid was off by two or three degrees (which meant that there was an error of about 1%), an ordinary person would still be unable to identify it with the naked eye. However, the amount of work required to reduce the error from two or three degrees to two-thirds during construction was not something that could be expressed by the difference in the structure. The ancient Egyptians did not have compasses, nor did they have high-precision instruments like laser theodolites and laser rangefinders. How did they know the true north at the dawn of human civilization? However, what was even more unexpected was that according to Kate, a female Egyptian researcher at the University of Cambridge in England, she was a female Egyptian scholar. Spencer speculated that the ancient Egyptians determined the direction of the four sides at the bottom of the pyramid by the position of two special stars in the sky. The reason for the slight deviation of the four sides was that the angle between the two stars and the earth's axis was not really 90 degrees at that time. In other words, the slight deviation was not an error!
The pyramid's stones were tightly sealed in all six dimensions. On the one hand, it meant that the stones were cut accurately. On the other hand, it meant that the builders had an amazing grasp of the vertical and horizontal techniques. One had to know that the base area of the pyramid was 53084 square meters. How could such a large area be calculated? It was quite difficult to turn a huge protruding rock into a 53084 square meter tower base. They completed the survey and construction of the tower base without a level, power equipment, and modern measuring methods. At that time, in order to save time and effort, the ancient Egyptian craftsmen left the hill-like primitive rock in the center of the pyramid. This caused the craftsmen to be unable to determine the length of the four sides of the pyramid's foundation by measuring the diagonal line. However, later generations were surprised to find that the difference between the four sides was less than 20 centimeters, and the error rate was less than one thousandth. The height difference between the southeast and northwest corners was only 1.27 centimeters, and the error rate was less than one in ten thousand. The difference between its East-West axis and North-South axis was no more than 5 arcseconds. The north base of the Great Pyramid was 755 feet 4.9739 inches long, the west side 755 feet 9.1551 inches long, the east side 755 feet 10.4937 inches long, and the south side 756 inches 0.9379 inches long. The difference in length between the north and south sides was only 0.09%, and the difference between the east and west sides was only 0.03%. Moreover, the actual size of the four sides of the base had an average deviation of less than five inches from the design blueprint, with a deviation rate of only 0.01%. This massive body was built on a vast ground paved with polished stones. After measurement, the two ends of the ground were only 0.004 percent different in height. With such a low error rate, even many modern buildings could not compare. The structure of the Great Pyramid itself had won an astonishing victory over the challenge of geometry. The biggest structural challenge was that the apex of the Great Pyramid had to be above the center of the four corners of the base. As long as there was a slight deviation in the angle of the four sides, it would create a huge error at the apex. Therefore, during the construction process, from the ground to hundreds of feet in the air, every extremely heavy stone must be placed in an absolutely precise position, otherwise it would collapse. And there was no indication that their technology or designs were borrowed from other peoples of the time.
It was reasonable to say that the Egyptian construction technology was superb and not inferior to modern people. They should have gone through at least thousands of years of evolution to obtain such a high level of technology. However, after going through the entire history of Egypt, we could not find any records of Egyptian technological development. Some people thought that the Egyptians about 5000 years ago might have used simple and ingenious triangular measuring tools to make measurements, but if they used this method to achieve high precision, they would have to carry out a lot of complex and precise calculations, and they would also have a rich and profound knowledge of astronomy. The problem was:
(1) Other evidence shows that the ancient Egyptians of the pyramid era did not have enough astronomical knowledge;
Secondly, considering the huge scale of the Great Pyramid and its complex internal and external structure, the ancient Egyptians did not have any real (normal) mathematical knowledge of multiplication and division, did not have the ability to solve slightly complicated mathematical formulas, did not have an abacus, and did not have a computer. Could their brains really withstand such a huge pressure (to carry out a large number of highly complicated calculations for a long time)? (After all, one must master the corresponding advanced mathematics to build extremely precise buildings!) When the Sydney Opera House was built, it took a computer three years to calculate.
(3) A strange phenomenon was that other than the main pyramids in Giza, all the buildings known in ancient Egypt did not have high precision. If the ancient Egyptians really had the technology to build high-precision buildings, why didn't they widely apply this technology to other buildings? Other than that, the pyramids of the other Pharaohs did not possess high precision. Even the temples that were as important as the pyramids did not possess this characteristic, which was strange.
Moreover, if the ancient Egyptians invented a simple and magical tool to make the precision of the building surpass our modern buildings, then is it necessary for modern people to use high-tech instruments such as laser rangefinders and laser theodolites? If there really was a simple and magical tool to achieve high precision, then why did all the ancient and modern civilizations in the world except ancient Egypt not invent such a tool and create a high-precision building like the Great Pyramid? It must be known that the Chinese had not been able to build a great building comparable to the Great Pyramid until the early 20th century.(The Great Wall of China was incomparable in terms of quality, precision, and longevity. It must be known that the parts built before the Ming Dynasty had long been destroyed.) The current Great Wall is the Ming Great Wall (about 600 years ago), with a total length of about 6700 kilometers. In recent years, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty had also been seriously damaged. Only about 2500 kilometers of the Great Wall remained intact.)，Moreover, the main reason why the Chinese were able to improve their construction technology after the early 20th century was that they were deeply influenced by the advanced western civilization, not because of independent innovation. Could it be that the ancient Egyptian civilization 5000 years ago had already surpassed the modern Chinese civilization of the early 20th century? According to historical research, we can come up with a basic law: Any civilization that developed independently and in a normal way, regardless of science, technology, culture, art, or other aspects of development, was used to taking a more balanced route. There were always many factors that restricted any aspect of knowledge from developing in an unconventional way. Only when the overall civilization developed to a certain extent could it develop a corresponding level of knowledge and technology. It was impossible for the Ancient Kingdom of Egypt to develop high-precision construction technology. Unless there was a foreign civilization. The Great Pyramid possessed a high degree of precision that far surpassed the times. Could this be irresponsibly explained by the great wisdom of the ancient Egyptians?
(1) Where did the ancient Egyptians 'extraordinary mathematical calculation skills come from? It actually surpassed our modern mathematics! In addition to the pyramids, there was also the Abu Simbel Temple at the southernmost tip of the ancient Egyptian border. For thousands of years, only on the morning of February 21 (Ramses II's birthday) and October 21 (Ramses II's accession to the throne), the sun shone directly on the temple gate on time. It passed through the 61-meter colonnade and reached the bottom of the tunnel, shining on the stone statue of Ramses II. In the early 1960s, in order to build the Aswan High Dam, the temple was relocated. Although thousands of scientists had carefully calculated and saved the temple, it ultimately left a permanent regret. The time when the sun shone on Ramses was delayed by one day, February 22nd and October 22nd.
A giant, intricate pyramid
Let's talk about the problem of precision change. Was the Great Pyramid's precision the same from the beginning? Perhaps many people did not expect that the answer was actually no. In many of the materials that introduced the pyramids, it was said that the construction of the pyramids was extremely delicate. After 5000 years of wind and rain, the large stones that did not use any glue still could not insert a blade or even a strand of hair between each stone. However, this phenomenon was actually very normal. There was nothing magical about it at all. It was very likely that the construction of the pyramid did not need to be so precise. There were certain gaps between the stones, but the pyramid was so huge that its weight was of course very considerable. After 5000 years, the gaps between the lower stones had long been crushed. In fact, there were still gaps between the stones on the upper level of the pyramid. Not only could blades and hair be inserted, but it was also very likely that a screwdriver could be inserted. A circumstantial evidence was that although the Empire State Building in New York only weighed about 300,000 tons, such a weight had caused the skeleton itself to be compressed by 15-18 centimeters when it was installed. It was no wonder that people were worried that such a huge weight would cause the ground to change and affect the surrounding environment. However, it was a piece of cake compared to the Great Pyramid, which weighed about 6 million tons. Since the cracks in the lower layer of the Great Pyramid of Giza could be crushed, another conclusion could be made: The Great Pyramid (relative to its high precision) had a small part of the error (it may be the majority) caused by the huge volume and weight of the pyramid itself, which caused uneven and irregular plastic distortion (the external force could not be restored to its original shape, and the shape changed). On the one hand, due to the inevitable slight imperfection and unsymmetrical errors between different parts of the Great Pyramid when it was initially built, the pressure and angle of the stones placed in different positions were also slightly different, resulting in different parts of the pyramid gradually undergoing different subtle distortions (including different shapes and rates of distortion) over the long years. Then, he considered it from another perspective: Let's imagine a three-dimensional space in our minds: The Great Pyramid was built on the foundation of 2.6 million stones, which meant that the shape and position of each stone would have a partial influence on the shape of the entire pyramid. Under the tremendous pressure generated by the pyramid itself, after the baptism of time, the gap between every two stones in the lower layer was almost pressed to the point where it was almost non-existent. From this, it could be determined that almost every stone in the lower layer had undergone a certain degree of slight plastic transformation. Since every stone had been deformed by the pressure on the microscopic level, if all the distortions of the millions of stones in the lower layer were accumulated, it was completely imaginable: Then, on a "macro" scale, the entire pyramid would undergo a "significant" change in shape! In addition, the factor that caused the pyramid's shape to gradually change was not just the internal pressure. It wasn't that we didn't know that the Giza Plateau, where the Great Pyramid was located, was definitely not a "greenhouse" suitable for a comfortable life. For thousands of years, not only had there been frequent sandstorms, but there had also been frequent dangerous earthquakes. Just these two factors from the outside world had enormous destructive power! (In addition, the man-made damages of the past dynasties have not been included!)）Although the Pyramid had stood firmly with its great Divine Power from the beginning to the end, the multiple external erosion effects it had suffered under such harsh climate and geological conditions for nearly 5000 years could not be easily ignored. The tower used to be 146.59 meters high, but due to thousands of years of erosion, it is now 137.2 meters high. The original base of the pyramid was about 230.4 meters long, and now it was about 220 meters long. This was the most powerful evidence of the erosion and distortion of the Great Pyramid. Because the different parts of the pyramid suffered from weathering erosion and earthquake damage throughout the year, it was impossible to be completely balanced and the same, so the resulting distortion results were not completely consistent, thus increasing the error. And as time passed, these minute differences in the degree of unsymmetries and unperfections gradually "snowballed" until they appeared before the eyes of modern humans in the 21st century, which was quite a long time ago when it was first built. (Although the error is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, it is still very small for us modern people!)）In other words, when the construction of the Great Pyramid was completed, the errors in the construction of the Great Pyramid were likely to be much smaller than now. From this, it could be seen that the technological content contained in the pyramid was indeed amazing!
In addition, as one of the greatest and oldest buildings in human history, the Great Pyramid had always amazed the world with its superb construction technology and precise positioning technology. One of the biggest problems in modern architecture, the "right-angle technology", was even applied by ancient architects to the corner construction of the pyramid, achieving a surprising "two-second error". Although the pyramid was not built at 30 degrees north latitude, it was still very close to 29 degrees 58 minutes 51 seconds. The slight error was deliberately added. (Assuming that the original designer wanted to see the extreme point of space from the bottom of the Great Pyramid with the naked eye instead of the eye, and after taking into account the bending of light in the atmosphere, the position of the Great Pyramid must be at 29 degrees 58 minutes and 22 seconds, not 30 degrees. The difference between 58 minutes and 22 seconds and the actual position of 58 minutes and 51 seconds was less than half a minute. Such a high degree of precision once again showed how skilled the pyramid builders were in general and geographical measurements.）
Due to the different density of the atmosphere at different heights, light will be refracted when passing through different density layers, so that the position of the object you see is different from the actual position. This was the refraction effect of the atmosphere.
The internal structure of the Great Pyramid of Giza was extremely complicated and mysterious. Since the tomb and the tunnel were very dark, when cleaning the tomb and burying Giza, the workers needed sufficient light to enter and exit the Great Pyramid of Giza. They must have used torches or oil lamps to do so. In addition, building large buildings with complex internal structures without artificial lighting is impossible in our modern civilization. If a torch or oil lamp was used at that time, it would have left some traces of "fire". However, modern scientists conducted a comprehensive and detailed scientific analysis of the dust that had accumulated in the tomb and the tunnel for about 5000 years. The results showed that: There was no trace of black smoke or tobacco oil in the dust, and there was no trace of a torch or oil lamp. If salt was added to the oil lamps and torches used, it could indeed reduce the soot, but there would still be some left, and the traces of soot would eventually be discovered by advanced instruments. One had to know that these modern instruments could analyze one millionth of the chemical composition in every grain of dust. Could it be that people had wiped off the soot on the walls after they had finished? However, the scientists did not find any trace of the soot being scraped off (not even a scratch). It could be seen that when the staff cleaned the tomb or moved the king's body into it, they did not use torches or oil lamps to illuminate it. Instead, they probably used some special batteries or other electrical devices that could emit light. Did the ancient Egyptians about 5000 years ago have a technology similar to modern electric lamps? If someone said that the ancients could use a large number of large metal mirrors to form an array to reflect the light from the outside world into the tower to illuminate it, it would be a waste of time. However, the experiments of the researchers showed that the sunlight from the mirrors could only illuminate a quarter of the pyramid's internal passage. Moreover, the large metal mirrors placed in the complex, narrow, and long passages in the pyramid would obviously hinder traffic, causing a situation where both work and time were delayed. On the other hand, the sun was moving all the time in the sky. In order to achieve the best reflection effect, it was necessary to adjust the angle and position of the mirrors regularly, which would be very cumbersome. What kind of illumination method did they use? We haven't found it yet.
In the 12th century, an Arab historian wrote: "Everything fears time, and time fears the pyramid.”After thousands of years of sandstorms and man-made destruction (the Tula stone on its surface was removed in the Middle Ages), it still maintained its majestic posture and looked down at its land. The Great Pyramid of Giza was the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was the largest and located in the harshest geological conditions! However, it was the only one of the Seven Wonders that remained. Egypt was located at the intersection of the Asian plate, the African plate, and the Indian Ocean plate. Earthquakes were extremely frequent. However, the Great Pyramid stood proudly and lasted for thousands of years, especially after three strong earthquakes. How could it resist the erosion of time for 5000 years until today? What was the secret behind it? Let's do an experiment first: When a certain amount of rice, sand, and gravel were poured down slowly from top to bottom, they would soon form three cones. Although their masses were different, their shapes were extremely similar. If you're willing to measure them, their cone angles are all 52 degrees. This naturally formed angle was the most stable angle. People called it the "limit angle and stable angle of natural collapse." The strange thing was that the pyramid was exactly 51 degrees 50 minutes and 9 seconds, very similar. This meant that it was built according to this "limit angle and stability angle." The climate in Egypt was also very harsh! The wind in the Sahara Desert was fierce. Due to the unique shape of the pyramid, the fierce wind had to slowly rise along the slope or the angle of the tower. The wind-receiving surface of the tower became smaller and smaller from bottom to top. When it reached the top of the tower, the wind-receiving surface of the tower was close to zero. This unique shape of waiting for fatigue with ease and overcoming hardness with softness reduced the destructive power of the wind to the minimum. At the same time, the rain did not damage the pyramid's body because the rain flowed down from the tower, so there was no excess water. As such, the weathering effect would not work on the pyramid. It was also known that the bias of the magnetic field lines could cause the collapse of buildings on the ground and even mountains. The base of the pyramid happened to be in the center of the magnetic field lines. It moved with the movement of the magnetic field lines and the movement of the earth. Therefore, the amplitude it withstood was extremely weak. The earthquake in the past 5000 years had little effect on it. The 52-degree "angle", the "shape" of the square cone, and the "position" that moved in sync with the magnetic field lines were the mysteries of the pyramid's stability. However, can anyone tell me how the ancients knew that a 52-degree angle was a stable angle? How did he know to use the pyramid to resolve the desert storm? How did he know to place the huge base of the tower at the center of the magnetic field? This was still a mystery. According to the research results of experts, the Great Pyramid of Giza could survive for 100,000 years in the sandstorm without collapsing. Before that time ended, the current human civilization might no longer exist (if human destruction was included, it could be preserved for 65000 years). Think about it: with our current modern technology, which building can be preserved for 100,000 years? (Our modern building requirements are 50 to 100 years of normal use. Moreover, with the current construction technology and construction materials. They could not even reach the standard of 5000 years.）In addition, there was another reason for its extraordinary lifespan, which was that its mechanical structure was extremely ingenious. The Great Pyramid wasn't made up of nearly 2.6 million stones piled up into four chains. Because if the structure was so simple, as long as a part of it collapsed, it would all collapse because it was too heavy. What supported the Great Pyramid was an internal structure similar to tree rings. Just like the growth rings of the hard and soft layers, the interior of the Great Pyramid was also composed of a hard structure called the buttresses and a layer of stone filling the gaps. The innermost side had a buttress to support the weight of the top of the tower, while the outer side was equipped with a buttress at a certain interval. The outer side of the wall was slightly inclined inward to suppress the force of the stone filling falling to the outside. Even though the stones outside the Great Pyramid had completely collapsed, the Great Pyramid still stood firm because of the ingenious buttress structure. In addition, modern engineers considered it acceptable for an office building to sink six inches in 100 years. The Great Pyramid had been around for at least 5000 years and weighed more than six million tons, but it had only sunk less than half an inch. (The Burj Khalifa in Dubai has a load of about 500,000 tons. It has sunk about 6 centimeters in the seven years since it started construction.）Some people said that this technical knowledge was discovered by the ancient Egyptians about 5000 years ago through long-term life experience. That was strange. Why didn't any other race in the ancient world discover so much knowledge? What was even more illogical was that the standard development model of human civilization's science and technology should be gradual from low to high, so why did the ancient Egyptians 'construction skills plummet after building the three pyramids? Could this be explained? The development of civilizations in both the West and the East was not like this: Even during the Dark Ages, the level of science and technology in medieval Europe still surpassed the glorious Roman era. Even if the later dynasties of ancient Egypt were not as powerful as the fourth dynasty, the pyramids they built only needed to be reduced in size, and their construction skills should not have deteriorated. The reality was that superb construction technology had suddenly disappeared. Moreover, compared to the fourth dynasty of the ancient kingdom, the strength of ancient Egypt during the Middle Kingdom period after the unification was far superior to the former. From this, it could be seen that the construction of the Great Pyramid was definitely abnormal. (There was only one building in the world that had a lifespan of more than 60000 years, 10,000 years, 5000 years, and 3000 years!) This building's lifespan was far ahead of the runner-up. The only exception was the magical Egyptian pyramid! If this wasn't a supernatural force, then what could it be?）
The slope of the Kafra Pyramid was slightly different from the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was 54 degrees and 7 minutes.
At the end of 1880, the father of modern architecture, William? Flinders? After a detailed inspection of the Great Pyramid, William Flinders Petrie pointed out that the accuracy of its level was shocking because the error was only 1.5 inches (about 3.8 centimeters). Even modern buildings could not compare with it. And the famous passageway in the tower was a big mystery! The floor was six feet nine inches wide, the walls seven feet six inches high, and then seven layers of stone, each extending three inches inward until the top was closed, reaching a height of twenty-eight feet. It was 153 feet long, and its inner walls were made of huge slabs of polished limestone. The tunnel extended upward at a 26-degree slope and had to withstand the weight of a million tons above it. This amazing construction technique and purpose was really puzzling. The same miracle happened in the second pyramid, King Kafra's pyramid. The "tomb" in the center of the tower was about 46.5 feet long from east to west and 16.5 feet wide from north to south. It was 22.5 feet from the ground to the ceiling, and the two stone slabs at the top supported each other at an angle of 58 degrees and 7 minutes. Unlike the Great Pyramid, there was no "pressure chamber" above it (to reduce the weight of the roof). For 5000 years, this arched roof had silently withstood the weight of more than 6 million tons, supporting the huge pyramid of King Kafra. How shocking was this! It was simply another miracle!
The second pyramid, the Khafres Valley Temple, was built in front of the Khafra Pyramid. The entire building was made of unusually large limestone stones. Most of the stones were about 18 by 10 by 8 feet in length, width, and height, but some were as large as 30 by 12 by 10 feet. Each stone weighed more than 250 tons, which was almost equivalent to the combined weight of 170 cars (an average of 1500 kilograms per car). There were hundreds of stones used in a building. By 1990, there were only two ground-type arm-type balanced gravity cranes in the world that could lift heavy objects like boulders from riverbanks. The crane arms of these two huge industrial machines were 220 feet long, and the body of the machine needed to be pressed with a 160-ton concrete weight to prevent the crane from lifting the boulder and overturning it. Before lifting a heavy object, it usually took 20 workers six weeks to set up the crane. In other words, even with the help of all modern technology and engineering knowledge, humans could hardly lift a 250-ton object into the air until 1990. However, the builders of the Giza Highlands had easily used the huge rocks as building materials to build a large mausoleum. How did they do it? What's more, the French scholar A? Morey had measured a boulder in the temple by the river. It was over 170 cubic meters in size and weighed about 500 tons. One had to know that the appearance of carriages pulled by horses and other livestock in Egypt was something that happened during the 18th Dynasty. It's impossible to move this boulder with our modern technology!
(1 foot = 0.3 meters;30×12×10 feet =9×3.6×3 meters; The density of limestone was 2.66 grams per cubic centimeter. M=pV=2.66×1000×9×3.6×3=258.552 tons. The Egyptian pyramids and riverbank temples were different from the Moai Colossus erected on Easter Island. The latter was made of tuff, tuff, and even pumice. Only some of them had a specific gravity of 1.7 grams per cubic centimeter, while most of them had a specific gravity of less than 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter. As for the floating stone, its specific gravity was even lighter. After it dried, it was even lighter than water. Therefore, the heaviest colossus on Easter Island was 10-12 meters tall and weighed no more than 10 tons. However, the mystery of the Moai statue on Easter Island was still there. The Norway Anthropologist Hale? Based on the Moai's long and narrow face, high nose, and deep eyes, Dahl determined that the original body was different from the local aborigines and should be a European white man. What was going on?
Today, we have found no large stones within a radius of 500 square kilometers around the location of the pyramids. Perhaps all the nearby stones had been used to build the pyramid, or perhaps the local area did not "produce" large stones at all. If it was the latter, then where did the large number of boulders needed by the Egyptians to build the tower come from? Did the ancient Egyptians already know how to use the "sand melting method" to produce giant stones? The former president of Japan's Mitsui Heavy Industries once said,""We can lift a rock 200 meters into the air, but it can't weigh 50 tons. If he wanted to lift it so heavily, he couldn't lift it so high.”But in fact, the giant triangular rock, Benben Stone, had been placed on the top of the pyramid about 5000 years ago. According to the current calculation method, to "lift" a 50-ton boulder to a height of about 150 meters, it would consume 75 million joules of energy.
The stones produced near Giza were not big enough to meet the construction requirements of the Pyramid of Giza. However, the pyramids in other areas had the possibility of obtaining local materials.
Egyptian scholars have been debating how the ancient Egyptians carried a few tons of boulders, while the Russian historian Andrei? Sliarov was thinking about how they processed these stones. For example, Sliarov analyzed the saw marks on the stone. The depth and width, the thickness of the knife, and so on, the conclusion was shocking. Saw marks could be seen on the black basalts around the Karnak Temple in the ancient ruins of Luxor. The modern method known to produce such an effect was: Water cutting, gas cutting, and electric cutting. But there was nothing in ancient Egypt. It was obvious that it had been polished after cutting. At that time, the only grinding tool available was a copper saw, but it might leave scratches. To achieve such an effect, modern people used high-pressure polishing of diamonds, and the speed was very fast. The obelisk in front of the Karnak temple was broken, and there was a circular hole with a diameter of 1 cm and a depth of 10 cm. It was mainly to fix some decorative boards. However, some of the holes were not made vertically, but were inclined at 10 to 20 degrees, which could not be done by hand. It was like using a drill to drill holes in a tree trunk. What kind of drill did the ancient Egyptians have to drill holes in granite like they did in butter? On the shore of Lake Karnak, there was a mark that was three millimeters wide and one centimeter deep. It also looked like it had been carefully cut with modern tools. It was granite from South Saqqara, Egypt, and was not yet open to tourists. It was a very telling piece of granite, part of which had been cut: The marks of a circular saw could be seen. The other part seemed to be waiting to be processed by hand. A stone door in the unopened part of Karnak Temple. There was a cut on the top of the granite, a hole the size of a barrel. At present, only machine tools in our world can make such a cut, and it only appeared in the 1990s. The sarcophagus that remained in the Great Pyramid was made of a whole piece of granite and weighed more than a hundred tons. American precision engineering expert, Christof? Dunn said that if the sarcophagus was only used to store the remains, there was no need to dig out the entire stone to make the sarcophagus. Wouldn't it be more convenient to assemble the sarcophagus with six stone slabs? The outer surfaces of these sarcophagi were processed to be almost completely flat, and the corners of the inner surfaces were rounded. Dunn believed that unless they used high-performance drills, it was impossible for the ancient Egyptians to achieve such precision. In addition, for processing high-hardness stones such as granite, quartzite, and diorites, the drills used by the ancient Egyptians (if they had any) should be able to cut about 0.25 mm per rotation, while the modern steel drills with 900 drills per minute could cut granite at a speed of 0.005 mm per rotation. It seemed that the drills used by the ancient Egyptians were at least 500 times more powerful than modern ones. No wonder this expert exclaimed that the ancient Egyptians processed granite like they processed styrofoam!
Unlike the traps set up in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum in China to deal with grave robbers, the Egyptian Pharaohs relied on spells to protect themselves. In the deep passageway of the Great Pyramid of Giza, a solemn and majestic spell was carved: "Whoever dares to disturb the Pharaoh's peace will have the wings of the Grim Reaper descend upon his head.”The American "Medical Weekly" also published a report confirming that among the 100 people who had entered the Great Pyramid, the probability of dying of cancer in the next 10 years was as high as 40%, and they were all young. In recent years, David Doufan, a chemistry professor at Bailey University in Miami, Fla., had detected declining radiation from the pyramids. Obviously, this was the main reason why tourists caused cancer. However, there was nothing outside the pyramid. It could be seen that the structure of the pyramid could prevent the leakage of radiation. How could the Pharaoh from 5000 years ago recognize radiation and discover the relationship between radiation and stone? In addition, in 1987, a high dose of radioactive sand was found behind the Queen's Tomb in the center of the Great Pyramid. In addition, researchers in Canada and Egypt found that some of the ancient Egyptian pyramids contained dangerous levels of radon gas, which made people exposed to it susceptible to lung cancer. Radon is a chemical element produced by the radioactive decay of uranium. It was colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Its specific gravity was 7.5 times that of air and more than 100 times that of hydrogen. This deadly radon gas was released by the decaying uranium contained in the stones and soil of the pyramid. The three ancient Egyptian buildings with the highest radon levels were, in order, the Shakhamqat Pyramid south of Cairo, the Abis Tunnel, and the Salabyum Mausoleum. Many archaeologists excavated the tomb of the Tutankhamun Pharaoh in 1922, and then died mysteriously. Since then, the story of the Pharaoh's curse spread like wildfire. According to the journal,""High radon levels damaged the health of Egyptian archaeologists.”It was obvious that this deadly gas was specially placed by Sphynx cat to prevent theft. Therefore, it was still an old question. How did the Pharaoh know that the radioactive decay of uranium could produce such a fatal poison gas?
In 1969, Nobel Prize in Physics winner Lewis? Professor Alvarez decided to use cosmic rays to investigate the Kafra Pyramid and see if there were other stone chambers or pathways in the tower. In this measurement, Alvarez unexpectedly discovered that there was an unknown energy in the tower that affected the normal operation of the instrument, causing the data obtained from each measurement to be different. At the beginning of the 20th century, the British inventor Alexander? Simens had climbed to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The guide told him that as long as he stretched out his hands and spread his fingers, his ears would buzz. Simens did as he was told, but he did not feel a buzzing sound in his ears. Instead, he felt as if his whole body was being pricked by needles. Simens was proficient in electricity, and he immediately realized that there was a magnetic field here. So he took out a newspaper, soaked it, wrapped the empty bottle with the wet newspaper, and raised the bottle above his head. Since the empty bottle could accumulate electricity, when the current accumulated, dazzling sparks suddenly appeared around the bottle. All of this proved that the pyramid would emit powerful electromagnetic waves. However, what made Simens feel strange was why there were sparks around the bottle. Perhaps, there was a mysterious power that he did not know about!
Carl, a radio technician and radiologist from the former Soviet Slovakia, was a radiologist. De Bauer found that after each use, the blade was placed flat in the tower one-third of the height from the bottom of the tower. The ends of the blade were facing north and south, and the model itself was also placed north and south. If it was placed in the pyramid model for 24 hours, the blunting phenomenon after each shave would be eliminated, and the service life of the blade would be extended. The results were the same after several experiments. An extremely simple and magical knife sharpener, the model of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, was invented. In 1949, De Bauer officially applied to the relevant authorities in the capital of the Republic of the Soviet Union to register the invention rights of the " Pharaoh Sharpeners." However, this invention numbered 91304 took a full 10 years of twists and turns, and it was not approved until 1959. In the meantime, De Bauer tried his best to convince the patent committee and provided a model to the head of the committee. The leader personally tested it and finally said that the invention was effective. It was obvious that it was not a trick or magic. Bouvier continued to study the pyramid model made of an insulation material like dung paper, and what kind of vibrations were produced in the space inside it, and what was the relationship between the vibrations and the Earth's magnetic field and the blade. In the end, he came to a conclusion: the cosmic microwave from the sun, through the Earth's magnetic field gathered in the tower, activated the shock waves in the model, causing the blade to become sharp. However, the blade must be made of high-quality steel. It was said that the " Pharaoh Sharpeners " invented by De Bauer were widely sold in the shops of the Republic, and people were used to using them to sharpen their blades. This kind of knife sharpeners were also very popular in Western Europe, the Soviet Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. De Bauer claimed that he had received thousands of letters from buyers, and not one of them complained that the sharpeners did not work.
1 If anyone still suspected, could it be said that De Bauer had secretly resorted to coercion and bribery?
In addition, many scientific experiments had proved that putting beef, mutton, eggs, vegetables, fruits, dead frogs, dead geckos, milk, and so on in the pyramid model could keep them fresh for a long time. The pyramid was hot and humid. In such a humid environment, the corpses would naturally dry up. It was quite magical! Now, some milk food companies in France, Italy, and other countries have also applied this experimental result to the production line. They use pyramid-shaped bags to hold fresh milk, which can be preserved for a long time. The Egyptian scientist Haili also did an experiment. After he put the bean seeds into the pyramid, compared with ordinary bean seeds, the seedling length was four times longer, the amount of photosynthesis was four times more, and the resistance to disease was also very strong. The sugar was different too. When the ants found ordinary white sugar, they would immediately crawl over to eat it. However, when they encountered sugar that entered the tower, they would cautiously avoid it and escape. Using the water that had been placed in the tower to wash the wound, the wound healed very quickly, surpassing the best healing medicine today. Put tap water in the pyramid model and take it out after 24 hours. It was called "pyramid water". The energy obtained from the water in the tower was "imprisoned" in the water molecules. It had many magical effects and could be stored in the refrigerator or other damp places for long-term storage in case of emergency. He used the pyramid water to make tea, coffee, milk, and refreshing drinks. Using it to cook vegetables and boil soup was more delicious than using ordinary water. Drinking a cup of "Pyramid Water" every day could strengthen the stomach, aid digestion, and cure nervous disorder. Use it to wash your face, can make your skin tender; It could eliminate blood clots and relieve pain, reduce the pain of patients with arthrosis, and even cure arthrosis. It was also effective in treating acne, moles, corns, carbuncle, warts, and other skin diseases. Using pyramid water to irrigate crops could promote the growth of crops and increase production. Using it to water fruit trees, vegetables, and flowers, the taste of the fruits and vegetables would be better, and the flowers would be especially colorful and fragrant. The flowers plucked were placed in a vase filled with "pyramid water", which could delay the withering and prolong the viewing time. The water inside the pyramid would not freeze even if it was below zero degrees. Some scientists had conducted experiments on microorganisms in the pyramid. The results showed that under the effect of the pyramid, the beneficial bacteria multiplied in large numbers, while the reproduction of harmful bacteria was suppressed. Therefore, Romania later used a pyramid-shaped device to disinfect water. There was a tea merchant in France who made the packaging into a small pyramid, making the tea taste more fragrant. Dr. Hearst from the United States found that the pyramid-shaped hat could significantly improve brain function and was 75% effective in treating Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease. In another experiment, he had 83 mentally handicapped children wear pyramid hats, and their IQ increased by 25 to 38 percent. The pyramid could increase one's memory by 30%, improve one's thinking by 35%, and shorten the time needed to solve the problem correctly to 1/3. The Swiss doctor, Gimli, invented a pyramid energy therapy device. It was composed of more than a dozen small pyramids. It used the pyramids to gather natural energy and input it into the human body, curing many difficult diseases.
However, there were many rumors about the mysteries of the Egyptian pyramids, such as: 1. There was once a local woman who used the water in the pyramid to wash her face after entering, and it actually had the effect of rejuvenating her youth! People who saw her said that she had become much younger. 2. Some people used the water to wash their wounds after they were injured. Using the water inside to wash the wound was better than using any medicine, and the wound healed quickly. 3. A bunch of flowers that were almost completely withered were placed inside. In a few days, the flowers actually returned to their original appearance, and they even had a fragrance!
The Russian Pyramid, Mirod, built 24 pyramids in Russia. One of the 44-meter-high pyramids was located in the suburbs of Moscow, providing an excellent experimental site for scientists to study pyramids. Narimanov and the others found that the items stored in the pyramid structure were indeed different from other buildings. The milk products in the pyramid were less likely to go bad than other foods. To better explain the problem, the scientists bought yogurt with a fat content of 20%, semi-skimmed cheese, sausages, and carp with internal organs from the mall. They were divided into two packages, one in the pyramid and one in the basement with a lower temperature. Ten days later, the yogurt in the pyramid remained the same, and the yogurt in the basement had grown a thick layer of green hair. The cheese in the pyramid hardened, and the cheese in the basement turned into a yellow and smelly lump. The changes in sausages and carp were also very different. From this, it could be seen that although the temperature inside the pyramid was high, the preservation effect was good. After a comparison study, Narimanov and others confirmed that the temperature distribution and air flow inside a pyramid-shaped building were different from other buildings. It had the same effect as a refrigerator and a dryer. Therefore, in the pyramid, the water evaporated quickly and the items dehydrated quickly, which made the animal remains become mummies without rotting. The other metal items also did not deteriorate or rust due to the rapid dissipation of water vapor.
However, there were also pyramid fans who said that the cardboard pyramid model did not work. Why did it not work?
(1) Pyramid energy is an electromagnetic wave that exists in reality. It effectively gathers and resonates in a specific pyramid, and acts together with the Earth's magnetic field and gravity to form an energy field.
(2) The pyramid model could not be easily made. "The creation and testing of the pyramid model is very simple. The bottom edge length could be 12 cm, the edge length 11.4 cm, and the height 8 cm, or the bottom edge could be 9 cm, the edge length 8.55 cm, and the height 6 cm. Use ordinary insulation materials,"a pyramid researcher in the 1950s said perfunctorily. This was also the reason why hobbyists used cardboard, wood, plastic, glass, stone, concrete, porcelain, and other common materials to piece together or bond together to form a rough pyramid model. It was useless or ineffective.
It was a very simple logic, but he didn't want to think about it. The Great Pyramid was huge, and its surface was originally smooth and flat. The stones used to build it had absorbed magnetic energy for thousands of years, and the energy field formed inside was strong. The pyramid model was small in size, and it did not take long to build. He even made a pyramid model out of paper, wood, plastic, glass, stone, concrete, porcelain, and other common materials. If the pyramid model was to be effective, it had to be optimized in terms of structure and materials. The real and effective pyramid model (namely the pyramid energy generator) must be a hollow square pyramid with a flat surface and a specific inclination angle. It could only be made of smart, wave-absorbing, and hysterisis composite materials.
(4) There were too many artificially generated electromagnetic waves now, so it didn't matter if they were placed in the north or south. You take a compass in a straight line and try it out. If you don't move, the compass will move.
The paper-bonded pyramid model could also be observed to be dehydrated. The volume of the experimental sample could not exceed one-tenth of the internal cavity volume, and it was best to be about five percent. To ensure that the air could circulate, the paper pyramid model was propped up high in the air.
Modern science's explanation for these mysterious phenomena was: The long-term directional effect of the prehistoric ruins would form an energy field within itself. The Great Pyramid was located on Earth and was constantly bombarded by cosmic rays. The stones used for piling up gradually played the role of storing energy over the years. When cosmic rays or electromagnetic waves penetrated a rock, the energy would also show different degrees of decay depending on the thickness of the rock. The Great Pyramid had a unique square pyramid structure, and its internal space was a very harmonious resonance cavity. Various rays from the universe and man-made electromagnetic waves resonated harmoniously in its internal space. Combined with the converging geomantic force and the effect of gravity, they formed an internal energy field (Pyramid Energy or Pyramid Energy). According to the ancient legend,"time fears the pyramid" might refer to the phenomenon of the energy field inside the Great Pyramid hindering the natural process. That is, the process that should have happened naturally was delayed when it was in the energy field inside the Great Pyramid. Some even went in the opposite direction. The organic objects placed inside the energy field of the Great Pyramid, such as animal carcasses, would not rot (this was a natural process), but would be dehydrated and dried into mummies. On the other hand, minerals, such as metals, could retain their metallic luster for a long time. From a professional point of view, this was the natural process of deceleration, and the reverse reduction effect was enhanced. The disordered arrangement of the metal crystals could return to its original regular arrangement. For the human body, the Pyramid Energy or Pyramid Energy could quickly eliminate fatigue and accelerate the recovery of physical strength. Enhances one's own immunity and boosts the self-healing of the body's tissues and cells. For microorganisms such as viruses and fungi, it would suppress their reproduction. Of course, your electronic devices would be like this too…
In the 12th century, the red basaltic stone covering the bottom 16 layers of the Mancala Pyramid still existed. Its hardness was so hard that even iron could not scratch the surface. The hardest metal that the ancient Egyptians could refine was bronze, but it was still polished very smoothly. This could not be said to be a miracle! (It is estimated that it would take about four months to polish a stone the size of the Khufu Granite Coffin with bronze tools. Basalt is harder than granite.) The scientists found traces of burning on the surface of the pyramid stones, and based on this, they believed that the tools used to cut the stones might not be hammers and chisels, but lasers. The ancient Egyptians used lasers? In addition, the surroundings of the "King's Tomb" had been charred by the intense heat from ancient times. In the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queen, not far from the Giza Highlands, there were piles of white "fine sand" left behind by the unexplainable high temperature. How did this heat, which was even higher than ordinary flames, come about?
In ancient Egyptian mythology, Osiris was directly related to Orion. Sirius (the main star) was connected to Isis. Esser was Osiris 'sister and spouse, and also the mother of Horus. There was a passage in the pyramid inscription that was written specifically for Osiris: Your sister, Esser, is here. You're happy and you love her. You put her on top of you... because of the baby, Isis grew up, like Horus? Ho-rus-sept. Horus? Saipte was born as a resident of Saipte. There may be many explanations for this passage. However, the most interesting part was the hint that she had a double identity from "Asser grew bigger because of the child". Not only that, after the child was born, Horus did not leave. Instead, he stayed behind and became a "resident of Septic." As an unusual star, Sirius was particularly bright in the northern hemisphere's winter night. Just like the pyramid inscription, it had a dual planetary system identity: We see Sirius A. Sirius B is around Sirius A, but because it's too small, it's invisible to our naked eye. Over the years, people had carefully measured its location. Astronomists have determined that its position on the star map is gradually changing. The reason for this movement is the difference in the speed of motion between Sirius and our solar system. This kind of movement was usually obvious. If it was drawn on a star map, it would be a continuous displacement in a certain direction. However, Sirius wobbled when it shifted. In 1844, the French Astronomist, Frederick? According to the phenomenon of Sirius swinging on both sides of the expected orbit, Bessel believed that Sirius was swinging with an invisible companion star. At the same time, they orbit around each other, completing a cycle every 49.9 years. Thus, the tiny wobbles in Sirius's orbit were caused by the gravitational pull of another star. It was not until 1862 that the American Astronomist Irwin? It was only then that Alvin Clark discovered its existence with the largest and latest celestial telescope at that time. This was also the first time the world had seen Sirius B. However, how did the writer of the pyramid inscription know that Sirius was a dual planetary system?
Sirius: Sirius is a pair of double stars orbiting each other. The orbital period of the main and companion stars is 50.09 0.056 years. The companion star of Sirius's main star, Sirius B, was a white dwarf star. It was very small, about the same diameter as Earth, but its mass was almost the same as the sun. Its matter was mainly degenerate, with an average density of about 3.8×106/cubic centimeter.
The Statue of Esser and Horus
The similarities between the ancient Egyptian designs and modern measurements could not help but make modern people dumbfounded. The pyramid showed the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer than the solar calendar) and the antrum year (365 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes and 53 seconds, about 5 minutes longer than the sidereal year). The precession of the equinoxes between the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, which was 6000 years old, was also expressed in units of measurement. Modern astronomy only knew about this difference for about 400 years. The ratio of length to width of the Great Pyramid's King's Tomb was 5:4:3, just in line with the golden ratio that was discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician, Eugene, 2000 years later. The square of the height of the Great Pyramid was equal to the area of the pyramid's triangle. The circumference of the bottom of the Great Pyramid x2 is equal to the time of the Earth's equator; The base of the Great Pyramid was 10% of the length of half of the Earth's axis of rotation. The Great Pyramid's gravity was equal to Earth's gravity. The thermal unit of the Great Pyramid was the average temperature of the entire Earth's surface. The ratio of the height of the tower to the circumference of the base was the ratio of the radius of the earth to the circumference of the base. The vertical bisecting line of the square on the bottom extended, which was the meridian of the earth. This meridian was the longest meridian on the earth that passed through the land. In addition, it divided the earth's land and ocean into two equal halves. Similarly, this meridian divided the earth into the east and west hemisphere, and their land areas were equal. The area of the Great Pyramid is proportional to the area of the Earth, namely (1:43200), multiplying the tower's height by 43200 would give 3,938.685 miles, which was only 11 miles less than the current most accurate radius from the earth's core to the North or South Pole. Similarly, if you multiply the circumference of the base of the tower by 43200 feet, you get 24,734.94 miles, which is 170 miles less than the Earth's circumference around the equator of 24902 miles, with a difference of 0.75 percent. The pyramid was located at the center of gravity in every continent. The axis of the Earth's poles changed every day, but after a cycle of 25827 years, it would return to its original position. The sum of the diagonal lines of the pyramid was exactly the strange number 25,826.53, and it also coincided with the astronomical precession of 25,826.53 years (the annual cycle of the universe in astrology). It was only 4000 years after the pyramids were built that Colombus discovered "America", and people had a preliminary understanding of the distribution of land and sea in the world... Could so many magical things be just a coincidence? There were too many coincidences!
1 However, it was not that there was no pseudo-mysterious phenomenon about the pyramid: For example, the base of the Great Pyramid had a side length of 9140 inches, and its circumference (9140×4) was 36560 inches. Divided by 100, it was 365.6, which was very close to the number of days in a year. After some calculations, they concluded that the Great Pyramid was built in inches.(2) Multiplying the height of the Great Pyramid by 1 billion would be "just" equal to the average distance from the Earth to the Sun. In fact, the average distance between the sun and the earth was **.691 kilometers, while the original height of the Great Pyramid was 146.59 meters. To be exact, the two did not form a ratio.
……
With the gradual deepening of archaeological excavation work, more and more evidence showed that even the traditional judgment of the construction time of the ancient buildings in Giza was very questionable.
First of all, the Sphinx was probably not built during Kafra's reign. The reason why the traditional archaeological point of view believed that it was built by Kafra was mainly because in 1400 B.C., Pharaoh Thutmose IV placed a granite stone tablet between his paws, the Dream Monument. The only remaining line of text on it involved the syllable "khaf". Later generations speculated that "khaf" referred to Pharaoh Kafra. This stone tablet was the legendary Dream Remembrance Stele. On the other hand, when the riverside temple (Kafra Canyon Temple) was unearthed, it was found that there was a statue depicting Kafra himself as a sphinx. However, in 1905, the direct relationship between the Sphinx and Kafra became unfounded. According to the archeological records, the names of all the rulers of ancient Egypt had a rectangular or oval frame, which was now known as the "seal"(The oval frame surrounding the Pharaoh's name was a magic rope that protected him from evil spirits). However, Professor J? H? Bristeed noticed that there was no rectangular or oval shape used to circle the name of the ruler in ancient Egypt, so "khaf" might not refer to the name of a Pharaoh. And the syllable "khaf" in ancient Egyptian text only meant "rise". In 1992, Frank, an expert at the New York Police Department who specialized in synthesizing montage photos of suspects, was arrested. Captain Frank Domingo conducted an in-depth and detailed study of the head of the Egyptian Pharaoh Kafra statue and the "human face" of the Sphinx. The results proved that the two were too different to be the same person, that is, the "human face" was not Kafra. Therefore, the previous subjective interpretation of its face by archaeologists was obviously wrong. In addition, in 1904, E. A? W? With sufficient evidence, Sir George once wrote in his book: The Sphinx "had existed during Kafra's reign, and it was very likely that it had fallen into disrepair by then." In fact, even if the Sphinx looked like Kafra, we could have cleverly asked Kafra if he couldn't have had his face fixed when he added the existing building to his tomb.
(1)"Dream Remembrance Stele": It recorded a legend about it. It was during the 18th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. Prince Thutmose of the Pharaoh Amanhotep II went hunting in the Giza Desert with his entourage. At noon, he fell asleep while resting against the shade of the "human face." At that time, only the head of the Sphinx was exposed to the sand. In his sleep, he heard the Sphinx say to him,"I am the supreme Hall? Em? Eckart (the title of the new dynasty, which means "Sun God at sunrise"), the hateful sand and stones are suffocating me. "If you can help me get rid of the sand on my body, I will make you the king of Upper and Lower Egypt…" After the prince woke up, he thought of the scene in his dream and immediately ordered the removal of the sand buried on the Sphinx. They also built an adobe wall around the stone statue to block the wind and sand. Later on, he became the Pharaoh, Thutmose IV. However, some scholars suspected that this was just a lie made up by Tutmose, who was a prince at that time, in order to become a Pharaoh.
In addition, in August 1992, a report from the Boston University geologist, Robert McGonagall, was published. M? Professor Sehoch also came to a shocking and rigorous conclusion based on the characteristics and degree of corrosion of the Sphinx: The Sphinx was built at least in the early part of the last rainy season in Egypt's history, which was 5000 B.C. The erosion of the Sphinx's body did not seem to be caused by the sandstorm. The erosion caused by the sandstorm should be horizontal and sharp. On the other hand, the edges of the Sphinx were round and blunt. They were wavy, and some of the erosion marks were very deep, up to two meters deep. In addition, the upper part was more eroded, while the lower part was not so eroded. This was a typical sign of rainwater erosion. The Sphinx was exposed to the air for no more than 1000 years, and the rest of the time was buried in sand. Dr. Shuch's views were naturally refuted by mainstream Egyptian scholars and some geologists. They attributed the corrosion on the surface of the Sphinx to industrial pollution in today's world, which caused the wind to carry dust and the effect of temperature changes on the stone surface. However, if it was really built in the Kafra Dynasty of Egypt and was eroded by sand and industrial pollution, then other limestone buildings in the same era in the same area should have suffered the same degree of erosion. However, none of the buildings in the Ancient Kingdom were as severely eroded as the Sphinx. From 7000 to 5000 B.C., there had never been enough rain on the Giza Plateau to cause the erosion of the Sphinx, so the only explanation was that these traces were left from a long time ago, when the Giza Plateau had a lot of rain and high temperatures. Dr. Thuckey's argument was unanimously supported by 3000 peers at the annual meeting of the American geological society. The scientists also conducted research on how sound waves could penetrate rocks. The speed at which sound waves traveled allowed scientists to know the degree of the rock's pores, which in turn indicated the degree of weathering and erosion. This, in turn, allowed scientists to know how long the rock had been exposed to the storm. The instrument's results showed that the cracks and weathering of the stone statue were caused by long-term rain. The same weathering was not found on most other stone structures in the same area, including the nearby Great Pyramid. Moreover, archaeologists had never found any first-hand information about the Sphinx's carving period. In this way, what we are facing in Giza is actually a rock monument of unknown age and origin, just like the frank Egyptian scholar Selim in 1949. What Hasan said about the Sphinx, we have "no confirmation". In fact, according to the analysis of Egyptian archaeologists, the construction technology was even more advanced than other buildings that had been confirmed to be thousands of years later. However, according to the opinion of the Egyptian scholars, in the ancient times between 7000 and 5000 B.C., the Nile River Valley was a settlement of primitive tribes who lived by hunting in the Neoliths. At that time, the tools used by people were limited to grinding flint and wooden sticks. Before the ancient Egyptians built their dynasty, they were still in the Neoliths. Did they have the corresponding social organization to mobilize enough manpower to engage in such large-scale construction projects? In addition, the ancient Egyptians at that time had no intention of building such buildings.
Regarding the mystery of the construction of the Sphinx, some scholars have proposed a hypothesis: In the desert 500 kilometers south of the Sphinx, many natural relics brought clues. The magical power produced by the sandstorm over millions of years had carved the large stone into a specific shape, much like the Sphinx. Therefore, the power that created them also created the original appearance of the Sphinx. In the era of the pyramids, the ancient Egyptians were inspired by this original image and made the final touches to it. However, this theory could not explain at least three problems: Why didn't the Egyptians record the origin of the Sphinx at that time? (2) What was the matter with the huge man-made hole under the Sphinx? (3) The other parts of the Giza Pyramid complex (such as the riverbank temple and the bottom part of the Kafra Pyramid) were also not from the fourth dynasty of ancient Egypt (please see later). How could this be explained?
Not only the Sphinx, but the temple on the riverbank and the neighboring Sphinx temple were also two buildings of unknown origin. Although we can be sure that the temple on the riverbank was used as Kafra's mourning hall, we couldn't find any evidence that Kafra built this temple. If Dr. Shuch's geological argument was valid, then it was questionable whether these two temples were built by Kafra. The reason was simple. The Sphinx was carved out of the basement of the Giza Plateau. The basement was first chiseled into a horseshoe-shaped pit, and then the core stone left in the center of the pit was carved into a statue. Geologists could also prove that the huge limestone used to build the two temples was harvested from the pit of the Sphinx. Therefore, the two temples and the Sphinx were built at the same time. If the history of the Sphinx was really as long as Egyptian scholars believed, then the history of these two temples was just as long. The boulders of the two temples were also clearly affected by the erosion of the rainwater, and the erosion was exactly the same as that of the Sphinx, which further indicated that the two temples were probably built at the same time as the Sphinx.
Since the Sphinx, the temple on the riverbank, and the Sphinx Temple were all built in different years, what about the Great Pyramid of Giza? According to the standard explanation in our textbooks, the Great Pyramid of Giza was the result of more than 100 years of architectural development in ancient Egypt. The earliest Egyptian kings used a building called "Mastaba" as their tomb. The shape of the "Mastaba" was like a square platform. During the Third Dynasty of the Ancient Kingdom, the young prime minister of the Djoser King, Imhotep, who was born as a scribe, designed and built the stepped pyramid in Saqala for the Djoser King. This pyramid was actually made of six huge "Mastabas" stacked together. Later, many "experimental" models of pyramids were gradually developed. For example, in the fourth dynasty, King Sneer's "collapse,""twist," and "red" pyramids were developed. After that, a truly mature work of art was erected on the land of the Pharaoh, the Great Pyramid of the second king of the Fourth Dynasty. However, how could he prove this orthodox statement? When concrete and clear archaeological evidence appeared, it was discovered that this was not the case at all. A reliable carbon dating sample showed that the Great Pyramid had actually been built more than 1300 years before Khufu's birth and completed more than 300 years before his succession. If such evidence existed, it would completely abandon the origin, function, and completion date of the Great Pyramid in orthodox Egyptian theory. Strangely enough, concrete evidence that could make people doubt the order of orthodox archaeology did exist. This evidence was obtained and published in 1986 after carbon dating. Reiner instructed. In Edgar? Under the sponsorship of the Casey Foundation, Reiner collected 15 ancient mortar samples from the gaps between the stones of the Great Pyramid. These mortar samples were selected because they contained fragments of organic matter. Unlike natural stones, carbon could be used to determine the date. Two of the samples were tested at the Southern Medical University's radioactive carbon laboratory in Texas, while the other 13 were taken to a laboratory in Switzerland, where they were tested by a more advanced accelerator. After such a thorough process, the result should be a set of coordinates, and it should be as accurate as the growth rings. But the result was quite surprising. Mark? Lehner commented at the time,"The dates are from about 3809 to 2869 B.C. So in summary…it's clearly earlier than the era of Khufu, which is recognized by the Egyptian Institute. Simply put, based on the date of the radioactive carbon in the samples you recorded, the timeline of the Egyptian Institute can be changed from 200 to 1200 years. "You can think of it as a bell-shaped curve. When you cut it open from the middle, you can conclude that our date is 400 to 450 years earlier than the ancient kingdom pyramids, especially those of the Fourth Dynasty…This is really too radical…I mean, this will cause big trouble. The Great Pyramid of Giza was 400 years older than what had been determined by the Egyptian scholars.”What was even more incomprehensible was that the radioactive carbon dating of the Great Pyramid showed that the top of the mortar was 1000 years older than the bottom of the mortar.

Step Pyramid
Later, at the 1998 World Pyramid Research Conference, the world's pyramid research scholars finally accepted this new inference: The Great Pyramid of Giza had a history of more than 5000 years, far surpassing the fourth dynasty of King Giza. Thus, it was completely certain that the Great Pyramid of Giza had existed before Giza was born. But why did Pharaoh Khufu insist on making it his holy land? At the same time, among all the pyramids in ancient Egypt, the Giza Pyramid, which was the largest, most complicated, and most sophisticated, had the longest history.
If someone expressed doubts, this method could only show the age of the stone formation, but not the age of the building. In fact, for mortar, it was exposed to the air before it was pasted. At this time, the concentration of C-14 it contained was equivalent to the atmospheric concentration. However, when it was pasted, it hardened and was isolated from the air, causing the internal carbon-14 to gradually decay in a regular manner (the half-life of carbon-14 was 5730 years). It was the same as biological dating. Therefore, using carbon-14 dating to determine the age of the hardened mortar did not have any connection with the age of the natural stone of the pyramid itself. Moreover, even if this was the age of the stone, it was only more than 5000 years--how could the age of so many natural stones be so recent?
In addition, the theory of the pyramid's construction was also full of contradictions, but so far, orthodox scholars could not provide any reasonable explanation for the contradictions. After the Fourth Dynasty, although other Pharaohs had built many pyramids, their scale and quality could not compare to the Three Great Pyramid of Giza. Compared to the nearby cemetery pyramid built by King Unas of the Fifth Dynasty (who reigned from 2356 to 2323 B.C.), people were once again caught in a mystery. In theory, the Pyramid of Unas, which was built at a later stage, should be superior to the pyramids of Giza in terms of design and construction technology, but the truth was the opposite. No matter how one looked at it, the Pyramid of Giza looked like a classic work that had accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of construction techniques and experience. However, various archaeological evidence showed that they were the earliest pyramids built in Egypt. In other words, not only was the Great Pyramid of Giza not a model of the mature work of the Egyptians, but it was the first attempt to build such a large building. Shortly after the completion of these three pyramids, the pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties appeared below them. The quality of the construction was much rougher. The more obvious question was that the three great pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty, which were built earlier, were still able to sit firmly on Mount Tai. On the other hand, the pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, which were completed hundreds of years late, had already collapsed. Why was it like this? If the Pharaohs of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties were still willing to build some pyramids of low quality, it was already a stretch. However, by the time of the new dynasty, Egypt had become the most prosperous empire in the world, spanning across Europe, Asia and Africa. From the two rivers in West Asia in the north to the third waterfall of the Nile River in the south, it was even 3200 kilometers long from north to south. Whether it was manpower, material resources or economic strength, it was much stronger than the ancient kingdom. However, the kings were only satisfied with the stone tomb of Delbahari. The Wang Clan's majestic pyramid era was gone forever. -- It was difficult to explain this phenomenon from a historical perspective.
The overall feeling given by the above phenomenon was that superb construction skills suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared after the completion of the pyramid of Mancala.
Looking at it from a macro perspective, the scale of the Egyptian pyramid tomb project was not in harmony with the comprehensive national strength of ancient Egypt. Compared to the medieval European kingdoms, ancient China, ancient India, the Arabian Empire, the Turkish Empire, the ancient Persian Empire, ancient Japan, and other ancient countries, the scale and speed of construction of their imperial tombs were related to the country's gross domestic product, population size, productivity level, scientific and technological development level, natural environmental conditions, the number of people who built them, the quality of the builders, and even the size of the country. It was the latter that restricted the former. However, after I looked up the book "Atlas of World Populations History" written by an Englishman, I found that when the ancient Egyptians began to build the Great Pyramid, the population of Egypt at that time was only a little over 250,000 points (BC.3809). When the Great Pyramid was completed, the population of the entire country was only around 1 million (BC.2869). According to archaeological excavation information, the actual number of people involved in the construction of the Great Pyramid was less than 25000.(However, according to the records of the Chinese historian Sima Qian, the world's largest underground imperial mausoleum, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, actually used 700,000 laborers and took 38 years to build.) What about the land area? In the 3000s B.C., the Egyptian dynasty only controlled an area of 40000 square kilometers at its peak (far smaller than the territory of the new dynasty). However, Egypt at that time had built the Great Pyramid, the heaviest and most intricate bui
