Combining materials 1 and 2, use your imagination and talk about how the pyramids were built.

Hello, host!

First of all, your question is problematic. The pyramids of ancient Egypt were built around 3500 BC, which is more than 5,500 years old.

The following is the content of one of my accepted answers. About how the pyramids were built. The most studied ones today are the Egyptian pyramids. The largest of them is the Giza Pyramids built by the three kings Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. In fact, the construction of the pyramid is basically no longer a mystery. Taking the Great Pyramid of Khufu as an example, Dr. Hawass, chairman of the Ancient Egyptian Antiquities Committee, has proven that the pyramid was built by hired workers (not slaves) in 12 years (some say 30 years).

Beginning around 3500 BC, dozens of small slave states appeared on both sides of the Nile River. Around 3000 BC, the initially unified ancient Egyptian state was established. The king was just an ordinary farmer before. Later, the king proved how to distinguish day from night. The Egyptians compared him to an alien bird. From this time the incarnations of the gods appeared, and their tomb pyramids were symbols of the wise. When the sun shines on the surface of the tower, after the construction of the reflective tower is completed, the shape of these mausoleums is similar to Chinese characters, and the old elephant's head and front legs have the word "gold", so our country calls them pyramids. It is also seen that writing was produced, and it is not difficult to explain why there are so many patterns in the tower, which are used by people to commemorate the great Pharaoh. Just like the appearance of the pyramid itself, the golden characters are the sphinx and the head facing directly behind. This also proves the peculiar appearance of a sphinx with a human head.

The pyramids are distributed on the Nile Bank, in ancient Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, and in present-day Sudan and Egypt. The size is different. The tallest is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is 137.2 meters high and 230 meters long at the base. It is built with 2.3 million stones with an average of 2.5 tons each and covers an area of ??52,000 square meters. The Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of the emperors (Pharaohs) of ancient Egypt. One of the eight architectural wonders of the world. Large in number and widely distributed. The pyramids are most concentrated in the ancient city of Memphis, southwest of Cairo and west of the Nile River.

The Egyptians discovered 96 pyramids, the largest of which are the three pyramids in Giza, a suburb of Cairo.

The ancient Egyptians used stones to build the pyramids, which weighed more than 40 tons. Even blades are inserted into them. There are many theories about how the pyramids were built. A popular saying is: Herodotus, the father of Western history, once said It is recorded that the stone for the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu was quarried from the Arabian Mountains (Sinai Peninsula). To modify its surface, limestone was mined and transported from Tula, Hedong.

It was not easy to mine stones at that time because people did not have explosives or steel drills at that time. The ancient Egyptians used copper or bronze chisels to drill holes in the rocks and inserted wooden wedges to fill them with water. When the wooden wedges were swollen by water, the rock would swell and crack. This method may seem clumsy today, but it was the most amazing technology more than 4,000 years ago.

Transportation from the quarry to the pyramid construction site was also extremely difficult. The ancient Egyptians loaded stones onto sleds and used wide and flat roads to pull the sleds with people and animals. It took 10 years to build the roads to transport the stone and the pyramid's crypt.

When Khufu built the Pyramid of Khufu, Khufu forced all Egyptians to work (it turns out that they were recruited civilian laborers with superior "wages". The reason is that the ancient Egyptians relied on the Nile River to maintain agriculture, and the Nile River flooded in several areas. The land was flooded during the month, and the farmers could not cultivate and could only wait for the river to recede. During this period, the king recruited them to work for a fee to build the pyramids. They were divided into large groups of 100,000 people to work, and each large group had to work for three months. These workers included slaves (actually there were very few slaves in Egypt at that time) as well as many ordinary farmers and craftsmen. Ancient Egyptian workers used animal power and rolling logs to transport the boulders to the construction site. Then they used the natural sand around the site to pile up an incline and pulled the boulders up along the incline. Pyramid-like stacks of sloping stones gradually increase in height. It took a full 20 years (some say 30-40 years) to build the Pyramid of Khufu.

Some data about the Pyramid of Khufu:

Location: Giza, Egypt

Type of true pyramid

Construction period: 2580 BC to 2560 BC Year

Height 138.74 meters (455.2 feet)

Original height 146.59 meters (480.9 feet)

Base 230.37 meters (755.8 feet)

< p>Volume 2.352 million cubic meters

Slope 51°50'40"

According to the marks on the wall of a tomb about the foreman and Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, Egyptologists It is believed that this pyramid was his tomb. The construction of the pyramid took about 10 to 20 years and was completed in 2560 BC. It was originally 146.59 meters (480.9 feet) long and 230.37 meters (755.8 feet) long at its base. It remained the tallest building in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the pyramid was covered with a smooth outer stone; now the pyramid presents a core structure under the stone, and the pyramid base still has outer stone. There are many different explanations and hypotheses for how the pyramid was built. The widely accepted hypothesis is that the pyramid was built by manually digging out the boulders from the quarry and lifting them into their predetermined positions. .
