  • The building of the pyramids would have stretched the capabilities of builders and engineers even today, so how did the Egyptians do it? Taken from the documentary: "Pyramids - how were they built?" on DVD from www.rocketrights.tv

    Pretty decent video,It showed me a few things i was wondering,but it tell us too much stuff we already know about like how we build stuff today.

    You can replicate the Great Pyramid in Minecraft, but to get it to a level of smoothness equal to or even possibly greater than that of the Great Pyramid, you would probably have to start with a based which is about two-hundred blocks square.
    If you were only interested in confirming the means of making the pyramid, you could limit yourself to doing only the outer wall. The way to do this is to use steps for the exterior wall, and to use blocks or slabs to create a base for each new rank. You would simply make the sides one-hundred and ninety-nine blocks across with the addition of a corner step on each corner. Just make each succeeding rank one unit smaller, and continue for hours until you have come to a peak or pinnacle.

    A lot of people involved! All my admiration for the great technic used ! Of course is something difficult to understand but I'm quite sure that Egypt gives to the world a fabulous lesson of many sciences that still today are studied for many scientists!

    2,300,000 Stones over 20 years by 25,000 people is only the equivalent of one person moving 4.6 blocks per year. But its even simpler than that since those who quarried the stone were not those who transported them. Like an efficient assembly line the builders were organized into specialized gangs. The vast majority of the stones can be pushed with relatively small numbers of people with many of the stones being quarried on the plateau itself.

    @COBWEBOWNZYA :: John Anthony West says the rain damage to the Sphinx is over 10000years old. Robert Buval says the image of the pyramids on the ground match the pattern of Orion's belt at that time. Also Edgar Cayce commented that the pyramids were much older than we think they are.

    @zenoist2 14 лет назад

    The blocks might have been a sort of cement enclosed in a wooden frame.
    That way there'd be no need to haul huge blocks uphill.
    If you wanted something to survive for thousands of years this is exactly what you'd build.

    Ah, I love speculation and assumption because that is all we have on the Ancient Pyramids. With the discovery of 17 new pyramids in Egyp and the possibilities of excavating them, I hope we can learn more about our ancient ancestors. They clearly had some sort of knowledge we were unaware of, be it a higher form of enlightenment and connectivity with nature or other worldly beings, they were clearly living in a golden age. Shame we don't pour more resources into learning our ancient history. :D

    Have you heard people say that they made a gaint ramp to get the stones up in the air to build the pyramids well that would take a long time just to keep building the ramp to the right level.
    i think that once they built 1 layer they formed and shaped the rocks for the 2 layer on the first layer doing this would have no need for a ramp!
    That they keep building the layers on top of one another

    How did they cut the granite blocks? People today are STILL figuring out how to cut those type of blocks that created the pyramids. It takes DIAMOND to cut those. How did these Egyptians have the materials to cut these blocks without the modern technology that we have.

    It seems to me that the Egyptians love to paint life down on these structures. Has anyone viewed anything that looks like the Egyptians building a pyramid or any other structure painted or sculpted on the walls? It would seem to me that an achievement of this magnitude would be painted on every edifice they ever accomplished. If there are none to be found then these buildings must have been there before their time. If anyone knows of wall paintings or sculpting feel free to link it to my page.

  • @0Sarenity0
    @0Sarenity0 12 лет назад

    @dav5tar09 Yes, they did drag it up sharp turns.
    Do you realize how high a crane would have to be, to lift the top block high enough? Too high. It wouldn't be stable. They built ramps, they dragged and pushed at the same time using the same rolling log method the people of Easter island used to move the heads.

    There are about 2.3 MILLION blocks in the Great Pyramid
    Which would be equal to around 315 blocks a day
    And that would be assuming that people worked non-stop, with no breaks whatsoever, for exactly 20 years
    Each stone weighs about 2.5 tons
    The pyramid is almost 491 feet tall
    So the level of difficulty by carrying them uphil would be MUCH greater right after the first level. And yet they would have to place the same amount of stones each day?
    100...200,300,400 feet... same pace?

    @njfaq2 of coures it would benifit us. the pyramids and the temple of the sphinx have blocks weighing 200 tons. the idea that they were put in place by simple pullies and ramps seems amazing. if it is true then knowing exactly how it was done is one of the most interesting and educational episoides in all history. if it was done with some sort of lost ancient technology, or even aliens, then we definiatly need to know. this is the history of mankind we are talking about, not some trivial matter.

    Some scientists went to the pyramids and took samples. They said that the Stones on the bottom were younger than the top. How is that? It is also said that these Gods came to them from the Sky. What are they talking about. And all around the world pyramids were found. In Turkey, Mexico, Peru and underwater. But why would they suddenly built these things and all of them. Also there is a monument in Egyt and Mexico that Line up with stars perfectly. How if they havent discoverd America yet?

  • @thetexanfan
    @thetexanfan 12 лет назад

    @njfaq2 I would have to disagree with "if found would never benifit us anyways". Perhaps the answers would give us all what we seem to be looking for...the truth. Not just who and why thet were built but you have to think outside the box a little. We can't find 10 people who get along to work at a McDonalds and they had thousands that all worked as a unit? If they found steel or machines that could do this job(Sears Tower or Pyramids) there would be no mystery.

  • @SaulAlfaro
    @SaulAlfaro 13 лет назад

    Why did the Egyptians, Mayans and others build costly pyramids?
    There is a consistency between the Mayans and the Egyptian pyramids and why is that? Did the Mayans and the Egyptians knew about Planet X, Nibiru or the destroyers as many calls it. Did the most powerful men of old times tried to save themselves from catastrophic events consequences of Nibiru by building gigantic pyramids? If you see closely to the peak of the Egypt pyramid you can see like if there is water damage.

    I'm not trying to say it took the 600 years to build it. I just think that people 4000 years a go was simple with copper tools. Can u imagine how hard it would be to cut and shape all those stones with ''copper tools'' i think the work they did in the quarry was way more impressive than the pyramid it self. O and the ''giant ramp theory'' is 100% speculation there is absolutely no evidence to back that up just like the ''alien theory''

Ever seen a supertanker float? Pretty heavy! Have enough surface area to spread the load across....no problem. And the Egyptians knew how to build barges, big ones. There is no mystery here. The stone has been proven to come from quarries upstream, the Egyptians had the boat building technology at the time

    @Universound57 They did just 'randomly' build the pyramids. They were built as a tombs for their Pharaohs, which is a HUGE deal. Their own tombs were near the pyramids, but much smaller. They found the first one only 1990. Most of the tombs of Pharaohs were indeed raided, hence the lack of 'mummies' and treasures in them. Yeah, we can't do it today. Now, we're dumbshits and rely on computers to our work.

    It doesn't really matter how you argue, because they've already replicated the building of pyramids with ancient Egyptian techniques and equipment, and succeeded.

    @njfaq2 not true , egypt shows first sings of civilisation, their knowledge of stars is beyond even modern technology. If anything we can learn more from the egyptian civilisation than any other pre-existing culture. So in many respects you are wrong, you have to look at the bigger picture. Search Nibiru (12th Planet and learn a little more before making such rash statements.
