And the Pyramids are the tombs of ownership of each of them bears the name of the king who built it was buried , and here is a hierarchical construction stage of the evolution of architecture in the tombs of ancient Egypt. It started small crater turned into a compartment under the ground and then to several rooms topped terrace . And then evolved to take the form of pyramid by the engineer Aamahotb Minister Pharaoh Djoser in the Third Dynasty . This was followed by two attempts of the king Bent founder of the Fourth Dynasty to build a pyramid full . But the back of pyramids is Salimi shape. And are located in Dahshur , one oblate -Qaeda and the other took a smaller form nearly half the size of the first .

Took to build the Great Pyramid of nearly twenty years and building corridors and lower parts of the pyramid ten years and that according to the Greek historian Herodotus , who visited Egypt in the fourth century BC, after more than 2000 years of building the pyramid and heard these stories and other some priests and narrators . Cut stones that were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid of the area surrounding the pyramid stones and clothing outside of the area of ​​Mount Tora granite and the stones used in the interior rooms of the quarries of Aswan and they come out through the Nile River , which was up to the area of ​​the pyramid at that time. Stones were cut and separated from each other by the work of slots at distances close in cut the stones to be cut is then rang some wooden pegs where roads and put them with water on it and the more you drink timber with water increased in size within a piece of stone and with the continuation of the road separated from the some of which is then refined and refined by using the most powerful type of stone such as granite or diorite . Ancient Egyptians used by Sandstone for building the pyramids where placed cut stones on the disc , wooden , beneath palm trunks roundworms works Kajlat and is pulled skis with ropes and oxen with water spray on the sand to facilitate the checkout process , and the greater the height increased in the sand until the top of the pyramid is then clothe pyramid limestone smooth from top to bottom and sand removal gradually .

Many people believe that the greatness of the pyramid lies in a constructive way , and in fact, to talk of this aspect of the health pyramid larger , for example, is a mountain industrial weighs six million five hundred thousand tons, consisting of stones each weighing twelve tons, almost , and these stones Court of pavement and setting half a millimeter to a certain extent , this is already deserves full admiration for the ancient Egyptian civilization . But it is much larger , pyramid is one of the biggest puzzles faced by mankind since the beginning of civilization . Many have claimed that it is just a luxury for the tomb of the king ( Cheops) , but the current era scientists believe that this view is ironic , the Great Pyramid was built for the purpose of the highest and greatest much . Proof of this is that amazing facts enjoyed by this great edifice and collected by Charles Smith in the famous book ( our heritage at the Great Pyramid ) in 1864 , Rising Pyramid multiplied by one billion is equal to 14.967 million km , the distance between the Earth and the Sun , and the orbit that passes through the center of the pyramid divides continents of the world into two equal halves completely , and that the basis of the pyramid divided by twice the height gives us a fixed number of famous circle ( 3.14 ) contained in calculators . And that the corners of the pyramid of the four heading to the four directions in accuracy so amazing that some scholars have pointed out one day to the existence of angle deviation little about the cardinal , but after the discovery of modern electronic devices to measure proved to be the corners of the pyramid is correct and accurate . Among the most important are dazzling in the creation of these pyramids how accurate is the creation of interior hallways and waiting rooms Antechamber and the burial chamber of King King's Burial Chamber.
