PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT

 The pyramids of Egypt are the most famous pyramids in the entire world.These great monuments were built by the ancient Egyptians over four thousand years ago.

 Many people like historians, and archeologists are trying to figure out how these pyramids were built, but they can not.   Until today the pyramids of  Egypt  remain one of the greatest mysteries in the history.

 The most famous pyramids of egypt are located in Giza. The Giza pyramids were built during the fourth dinasty by King Khufu who built the biggest pyramid in the world.

Other Pyramids

  Although the 3 pyramids of Giza are the most famous, a total of 138 pyramids exist in Egypt, and many of these are very remarkable. The step pyramid, the red pyramid, and the bend pyramid are good examples of those. Until today, the pyramids of egypt continue to reveal secrets,and wonders that puzzles the world, for this reason these pyramids are considere one of the world´seven wonders.

The red pyramid is one of the most important among the pyramids of Egypt. The engineers had learnt a lot from their previuos construction experiences at Meidum and Dahshur.

“King Nubkhaure Amenemhat II, son of king Senusret I and Queen Nefru. He was the third king of the 12th dynasty, and ruled ancient Egypt for 35 years. No much information are available about his reign. The throne name Nubkaure means “Golden are the souls of Ra”.           ( http://www.pyramids-of-egypt.com/)

The other one is “King Senusret III built his pyramid at Dahshur directly on desert sand. Mud-brick was used to construct the core of the pyramid which took a horizontal step structure. The seams were filled with sand instead of mortar. Local limestone that came from the city of Turah was used to construct the outer casing”. ( http://www.pyramids-of-egypt.com/)         

Aliens built the pyramids?

Many people wonder  if aliens built the pyramids,and this following piece of news was used as a solid proof that they had to do with it. The news of a perfectly preserved alien mummy that was found  buried in a small pyramid near Lahun. The body was found is about 160 centimeters tall and the pyramid where it was found is believed to belong to King Senurest II´s wife.

The secret of the greats Pyramid:

 It is taught in schools around the world that the pyramids of Egypt were built as tombs for the pharaoh kings, and that the ancient Egyptians built those great pyramids using very simple tools and techniques. Such information was confirmed by several historians and archeologist.

  In my opinion these pyramids are so stunning, because is very awesome to think the way that the egypcian built it, just using pieces of rock and their bare hands.

I love this kind of structures because it keep so much history about how people lived and survived in that time. Besides that show us that the human being is very clever no matter time, place or the situation.

In conclusion the human being is able to live and adopt themselves in any place around the planet.
