    The Great Pyramids of Giza



    One must pass through it by motorcar or leisurely come along to find Ancient Egypt at the Pyramids.
    How small they appear from the long road that approaches them; did we come so far to see so little? But then they grow larger, as if they were being lifted up into the air; round a turn in the road we surprise the edge of the desert; and there suddenly the Pyramids confront us, bare and solitary in the sand, gigantic and morose against an Italian sky.A motley crowd scrambles about their base stout business men, stouter ladies secure in carts, young men prancing on horseback, young women sitting uncomfortably on camel back, their silk knees glistening in the sun; and everywhere grasping Arabs.We stand where Caesar and Napoleon stood, and remember that fifty centuries of Ancient Egypt look down upon us; where the Father of History came four hundred years before Caesar, and heard the tales that were to startle Pericles.A new perspective of time comes to us; two millenniums seem to fall out of the picture, and Caesar, Herodotus and ourselves appear for a moment contemporary and modern before these tombs of ancient Egypt that were more ancient to them than the Greeks are to us.

    Ancient Egypt Pyramids

    Mysteries, Facts, Fictions, Controversy, Stories and Videos



    Hundreds of websites and books on Ancient Egypt Pyramids, tells us that the Great Pyramids were build by 100,000 slaves and it took them 20 years to finish them. You will also hear that the Pyramids are simply tombs for the kings.





    This is the "orthodox" story which other people don't find plausable or verifiable as truth.    The reality of the matter is that no one really know the truth... of how the Ancient Egypt Pyramids were built, who build them and when. At least no body alive today knows.
    I thought to bring you these three videos which I think are interesting. They give an "alternative" point of view on how the Ancient Egypt Pyramids were built in a an entertaining style.
    But before you do, you could perhaps visit these two pages for a solid views on Egypt Ancient Pyramids.






    Apparently the Pharaoh believed, like any commoner among his people, that every living body was inhabited by a double, or ka, which need not die with the breath; and that the ka would survive all the more completely if the flesh were preserved against hunger, violence and decay.    The pyramids of Egypt, by its height, its form and its position, sought stability as a means to deathlessness; and except for its square corners it took the natural form that any homogeneous group of solids would take if allowed to fall unimpeded to the earth.
    Again, it was to have permanence and strength; therefore stones were piled up here with mad patience as if they had grown by the wayside and had not been carried from quarries hundreds of miles away.


    In Khufu's pyramid there are two and a half million blocks, some of them weighing one hundred and fifty tons,30 all of them averaging two and a half tons; they cover half a million square feet, and rise 481 feet into the air.
    And the mass is solid; only a few blocks were omitted, to leave a secret passage way for the carcass of the King.
    A guide leads the trembling visitor on all fours into the cavernous mausoleum, up a hundred crouching steps to the very heart of the pyramid; there in the damp, still center, buried in darkness and secrecy, once rested the bones of Khufu and his queen.
    The marble sarcophagus of the Pharaoh is still in place, but broken and empty. Even these stones could not deter human thievery, nor all the curses of the gods.
    Since the ka was conceived as the minute image of the body, it had to be fed, clothed and served after the death of the frame.
    Lavatories were provided in some royal tombs for the convenience of the departed soul; and a funerary text expresses some anxiety lest the ka, for want of food, should feed upon its own excreta.
    One suspects that Egyptian burial customs, if traced to their source, would lead to the primitive interment of a warrior's weapons with his corpse, or to some institution like the Hindu suttee the burial of a man's wives and slaves with him that they may attend to his needs.
    This having proved irksome to the wives and slaves, painters and sculptors were engaged to draw pictures, carve bas reliefs, and make statuettes resembling these aides; by a magic formula, usually inscribed upon them, the carved or painted objects would be quite as effective as the real ones.
    A man's descendants were inclined to be lazy and economical, and even if he had left an endowment to covei the costs they were apt to neglect the rule that religion originally put upon them of supplying the dead with provender.
    Hence pictorial substitutes were in any case a wise precaution: they could provide the ka of the deceased with fertile fields, plump oxen, innumerable servants and busy artisans, at an attractively reduced rate.
    Having discovered this principle, the artist accomplished marvels with it.
    One tomb picture shows a field being ploughed, the next shows the grain being reaped or threshed, another the bread being baked; one shows the bull copulating with the cow, another the calf being born, another the grown cattle being slaughtered, another the meat served hot on the dish.
    A fine limestone basrelief in the tomb of Prince Rahotep portrays the dead man enjoying the varied victuals on the table before him.
    Never since has art done so much for men.
