Alternative insight into the way of construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza …

Already mentioned in previous articles Spanish author Felipe Fernandez-Armesto explains that construction spending blocks of stone quarries in the opposite bank of the Nile and spill it actually landed next to the pyramid. Smaller blocks of limestone were cut with bronze saws and then processed hard, but efficient, “friction them with sand. Larger blocks, heavy at 50 tons, were formed more in the pits. Then I dragged the stones on sledges with prepared trails. Around 170 people were needed for this operation. Used were ‘long ramp to lift the stones to the required height, and this no doubt, because archaeologists have found remains of some of them. To get to the summit, however, the Great Pyramid in directing a slope, a ramp is should be almost two kilometers long. ” These ramps, of course, are not made for months, as construction continued, according to Herodotus 20 years. Imagine how the spill waters of the Nile are playing with sand and are not only short ramps, but the nerves of the builders.

Together with rampers  in scientific pyramidology tar and so-called roller. According to them, the stone blocks were mounted and rolling – and not dragged on the sand or ice – on wooden pallets. But the Egyptians would like the Mayans did not know the wheel. A third group of specialists, including Margaret Murray, and may be called “ramporolers” because they see the pallets picked up on ramps. Is the most numerous sect Dr. Marts. Its members simply declare that there is no such problem, transportation and lifting weights.

In the category for the most amusing theories should be put first, Dr. Joseph Davidovits – chemist and author of a sensational creation “pyramid – a mystery permitted. He did not reject the theory of ramps. Rather, it is estimated that between 140 and 200 people were needed to lift one of ordinary blocks weighing 2.5 so he knows, of course, that even Herodotus reported the number of blocks used in the Great Pyramid – 2.6 million. Davidovits but fails to make a simple bill: 20 years of construction the Egyptians had carried on ramps to 130 000 units per year or 1400 units daily, making almost one unit per minute. Dr. Davidovits But really erupts as a chemist. It reveals that indeed there is no problem with the transport of stone blocks. Thanks to the chemistry of limestone rocks were made on the spot!

Here is what this author says: “pyramid blocks are not natural stone. In fact, the blocks are extremely high quality limestone concrete – synthetic stone, cast directly on the spot … no cutting of stones, no heavy lifting or towing was not needed for the pyramid construction. ” Dr. Davidovits is not lonely in this category. British Andrew Collins launched the theory that the pyramids were built using sound vibrations. In an authoritative English newspaper Collins explained that when a massive body vibrates with a constant frequency, it is unstuck and can easily be pushed over great distances and heights. He refers to the old Arabic texts, which sees large stones for Egyptian pyramids were struck with a stick, rose in the air and push them off a shot with a bow. Indeed, such Arabic texts exist, but they should not be taken literally. When talking about the ancient heavenly “chariots” or “dragons”, they describe particular unexplained phenomenon, likened it to something understandable. None of us, his contemporaries, does not believe that the “Flying Saucer” is a dish that flies. So it is with this “bar”, which hit the ancient heavy stones to get them lifted. According to one Arab legend existed miraculous piece of paper with some sacred writings. Ancient builders placed on it already processed block, hit it with a hammer and block magically losing weight and only a few people were able to move. One of the most competent writers in this area – Max Toth notes that in any bias or story in the world has some truth. “I believe – he writes – because of an incorrect translation of ancient texts and misunderstanding of words in the story, handed down from generation to generation,” the piece of paper with sacred inscriptions “had been misinterpreted. It may have been a plate with an electronic circuit thin sheet, which indeed are placed on the stone. And the “hammer” could not do was knock a battery or energy cell, which in “touch” to certain sections of the electronic device (as opposed to “hitting”) it is activated, causing counteracting gravity. This seemed floating stone could easily be driven by a small group of workers and perhaps even raised as necessary. ”

We know from Herodotus that the Great Pyramid was built for 20 years, from 400 000 workers, divided into shifts – in 100 000 people per quarter. He does not advise on whether this enormous workforce lived around the site, where they slept builders, whether they came back in the evening and morning in the city came to work. This would mean a quarter of the day should be spent on the road, hardly contributed to human workers. Egypt at the time suggest that the Great Pyramid was built, was a country with about 5 million people. Such a small country can not set aside nearly half a million people to work at a building (and there are indications that both were built pyramids and other), put them away from economic life, to weaken its defense capabilities. Who or what ate these workers?

Herodotus says that the pyramid was found a written certificate stating that the workers were fed with onions, garlic and radishes and the total amounted to 1600 talents, which today is estimated at 5-7,5 million dollars. This clearly been the most demanding workers in the world, as they are able to carry such heavy physical work only onions, garlic and radishes. Herodotus as a guardian angel gives Egyptologists most powerful ammunition with which to shoot all the other theories about the construction of the Great Pyramid. He literally wrote: “The first thing done was the construction of a road along which carried the stones from the mountains of Libya to the Nile.” In support of this assertion, the researchers state, and a curious image, found in the tomb of Dzhehutihotil the time of the XVIII dynasty. It shows Egyptians harnessed to sled, to draw a huge statue, while pouring water (or oil) in the sliding parts to reduce friction. Here, a triumphant cry Egyptologists, how they were carried heavy blocks of stone!

In fact, they have no reason to triumph. First, because a bird (picture) does not make spring, and second, because people from the XVIII dynasty contemporaries are not those of Dynasty IV. Modern pottery and stoves, which he uses now, nothing to do with the pan in the outbreaks of our ancestors, but how many realize that? This document shows a single one rather naive idea that blatant contrast with the extraordinary precision of everything connected with the construction of the pyramid. This image in the tomb of time when they are no longer built pyramids, is not nothing but a demonstration of how the Egyptians themselves from a later period have imagined moving weights. Science will probably be relieved if it is assumed that the Egyptians knew the wheel when the pyramids were built. Specialists cultures continue to argue that the Maya did not know the wheel even found “toys” – statues mounted on wheels. Similarly, Egyptologists and denied knowledge of the wheel in an age of the pyramids. Although a drawing found in the tomb in Sakkara Kemheset, pharaoh of the V Dynasty. On it is depicted on the pharaoh ladder with wheels.

It is believed that some of the rocks that build the pyramids, were carried on boats or rafts along the Nile, but others had to be towed upstream by ropes. Maybe so it was, but the problems and mysteries like no end. First, where are the devil instruments with which the ancients were cut in the soft limestone and granite-hard? You nobody believes that with the cooked pasta can unlock the door? What can be done with a copper tool helpless against the rock? Why now archaeologists have not found any forgotten tool?

If you go to the stone quarries, and today we find in antiquity processed blocks, ready for transportation, but abandoned. It is exactly where they were cut as if they were pieces of cheese. I understand that theoretically easier to form a bloc, making incisions in the rock at the top, bottom, sides and deep. But back? How blocks are cut back to remove it from the rock? Some admitted that there is playing a laser beam. I do not know to operate a laser beam at a right angle. After treatment (polishing with sand?) In perfectly straight lines, sides and corners of the blocks loaded boat or raft, transferred it to the west bank of the Nile and it landed on the sand. From there began great sorrow. For the stone blocks of 2.5 tons are needed at least 40 strong men, each of which will lift a 60 kg. This well – for a healthy person is not a problem to lift 60 kg. But how do these 40 people together to catch the stone, whose perimeter is only 4.5 meters? Every man shall fall by 12 cm “Ramperits” this place jump to explain that the entire time block from the river to the pyramid on a sled traveling on wooden pallets. Ignoring the fact that the pallets will be exported only a few meters. Egypt at that time had forests to cut, and people were crazy to cut fruit trees, to rolling stones at them. Dates are sweet from the sweet promises of happiness in the afterlife. Suggestions that timber has been imported, because Egypt had a good fleet are incredibly naive. Egypt never had enough ships to transport cut forests of Europe or other countries in Africa. On top of that there is no evidence of any such imports.

Thus, evidence that the Egyptians have built pyramids in Giza (read here when they were built) will. And no explanation of how to build them. This question might find an explanation in the next decade, but so far remains open.
