What you should know is amazing about the pyramids of Egypt, that have been around for more than four thousand years and are still strong
They are some of the oldest surviving buildings and are of high quality.
These Pyramids, apart from being large in width and height, are skilled in high-level architecture. The Pyramids of Egypt have been around for four thousand years and are still strong
However, although many have been built, the most famous ones due to their height and size are those at Giza
Historians believe that the construction of the Pyramids in ancient Egypt began when scholars call it the Old Kingdom ancient kingdom of Egypt and continued until the year 2325 BC, Before Jesus
Observing how seductive their buildings are and how they are made shows you how great the Egyptian Kings and Pharaons were and how they gave great glory even after their death and will always be there
How the king of Egypt was treated in the Egyptian family
Towards the middle of the ancient kingdom of Egypt, this country developed economically technically and militarily The population is very rich
The king of Egypt Pharaoh was considered the mediator between the people and the Egyptian God
For this reason, it was in everyones interest to take care of the wellbeing of the king even after his death
When the king died, the people believed that he would become the dead God Osiris and then the one who dethroned the Empire and became God called Horus The sculptors depicted Horus as a bird responsible for protecting the Sun, God called Ra
Thus, these Pyramids were the funerary palaces of the Pharaohs the fact that they attacked them indicated that they wanted the kings soul to ascend to heaven to meet the Sun God named Ra
The Egyptians believed that when a king dies, there is one part of his soul that remains.
In order to take care of this part, the Egyptians took the kings body, dried it painted it and covered it with everything the king needed in life, including gold brass food chairs and regular offerings for the king
Pyramids were elsewhere and people came to the king with honor because they believed that he was not dead but somewhere in a certain way
There are those who may be surprised to learn that when the king died, there were his servants women soldiers and others who agreed to accompany him so that they would continue to take care of him in another life
At the beginning of Egyptian imperial rule in 2950 BC, the tombs of the emperors were excavated in large stones, forming the shape of a mastabas
These tombs are said to have preceded the construction of the Pyramids The pyramid that is said to be ancient is that of 2630 BC and was built at Saqqara during the reign of Djoser
They later went on to build other pyramids that became larger and longer. History says that Imhotep was the one who led to the construction of pyramids in large numbers and in size and height
Some consider Imhotep to be one of the most influential ancient Egyptian scholars in both architecture medicine and writing After his death, the doctors made him their God
During Djosers reign, architects began to build Pyramids so visible that one that was 62 meters high was built for him It also had a garden to walk in and enjoy life after death
This pyramid is located on the outskirts of the Egyptian capital, Cairo It is in the area around the Nile River
The walls of these buildings are 230 meters high and 147 meters wide, making it the first of its kind in the world
On its side, two more of his wives were built and on the side, experts found the empty tomb of his mother, Hetepheres
Next to the pyramid of Cheops, there were other mastabas where the servants and his army had to stay to continue helping him in another life
Scientists calculated and found that the Cheops pyramid was built with 23 million stones, each weighing 25 tons The workers were said to have gone to the desert to find these stones, make them and bring them to the place where they were supposed to build
The Greek historian Herod confirms that it was built by 100 thousand people over a period of 20 years but archaeologists believe that it required only 20 thousand workers
Although people do not dare to build a pyramid like that of Giza, millions go to visit it every year, looking at the skills of the ancient Egyptians before Jesus Christ
