Historians have put a lot of effort into debunking the mysteries of the great Egyptian pyramids. In their opinion, these grandiose structures are just the tombs of the pharaohs of antiquity, built for them by the backbreaking labor of hundreds of thousands of slaves.
But in fact, with pyramids everything is not so simple, and inquiring minds are discovering more and more secrets in the pyramids, their structure and shape, the answers to which have yet to be found.
The Mystery of the Chinese Pyramid
It turns out that pyramids are not only in Egypt. In China, near the city of Xi'an, there are at least 16 pyramids. Unfortunately, this area has been a restricted military zone for many years. Therefore, they were discovered only by accident: in 1947, an American named Maurice Sheenan took several photographs of the Chinese pyramids while flying over them in a light plane. The photographs were published by several American newspapers. The Chinese authorities immediately responded to these publications with an official letter, in which they stated that “the existence of these pyramids has not been confirmed by anything.” Many years passed before the Chinese government finally confirmed the existence of these structures, however, calling them nothing more than “trapezoidal tombs.” Since then, several scientists have been able to observe the tombs with their own eyes, but the Chinese authorities are in no hurry to give opportunities to study them. It is still unknown what they are hiding in the Xi'an area.
Why don't Egyptian authorities stop vandals?
It is not so easy for scientists from all over the world to obtain permission from the Egyptian authorities to excavate and simply conduct research in the area of the pyramids. Every time, government officials strictly stipulate where this or that scientist can conduct his research, and violation of the established rules is fraught with serious troubles with the authorities. But with the Egyptians, oddly enough, things are completely different! Anyone who has been to the Great Pyramids of Giza has seen intrusive souvenir sellers who, in addition to tacky clay cats and busts of Tutankhamun, sell pieces of stone chipped from the pyramids. And recently, near the pyramids, tourists noticed the famous Cuban actress of “adult films” Carmen De Luz, and in a very frank manner, from which observers concluded that some kind of not very decent movie was being filmed in the interiors of the pyramids. As a result, a paradoxical situation arises: for scientists, penetration into the area of the pyramids is a problem, but for vandals the road is open! The Egyptian government has been promising to change the situation for some time, but the problem, as they say, is still there. Why do the Egyptian authorities have such difficulty allowing scientists to access ancient tombs, but do not see any problem with local looters getting into them? Perhaps they are afraid that overly attentive pundits will notice something that they do not need to know about? The question is still open.
And there are pyramids in Sudan!
Yes, Egypt is by no means the only country where pyramids were erected. They also exist in Sudan, and in this African side there are more of them than in any other country in the world! There are 255 Nubian pyramids in Sudan. Only 14 of them are dedicated to the warlike Sudanese princesses. The rest is the legacy of the warlike Nubians who lived in this territory in the 6th century BC. At the top of each pyramid was an image of the solar disk. Rumor has it that the Nubians stole the idea of pyramids from the Egyptians, building similarities to the great pyramids for the burial of 21 kings and 52 queens. However, it is possible that these tombs were built in parallel - at least according to scientists, the Nubian tombs in Sudan date back to no earlier than 10 thousand years BC, and the Egyptians did not take part in their construction. Alas, not all Sudanese pyramids are available for study today - in 1834, adventurer Giuseppe Ferlini destroyed 40 Sudanese tombs in search of treasures. It is noteworthy that no one believed in the antiquity of the artifacts he obtained, and he was unable to sell them. This is what is called "bad karma"!
Thermal scanning revealed bright spots in the pyramids
In October 2015, an international team of scientists, together with specialists from the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University, conducted a thermal scan of the Great Pyramids of Egypt, using thermal imaging and neon radiography technology commonly used to study active volcanoes. During a temperature scan of Tutankhamun's tomb, scientists discovered a sharp jump in temperature in its northern part, showing that there was a hidden cavity under the surface of the slabs. According to Nicholas Reeves, a researcher at the University of Arizona, the high-resolution image shows that inside the tomb there is a hidden door to unexplored chambers and to the resting place of Queen Nefertiti - the wife of Tutankhamun's father. But that's not all. In all three great pyramids of Giza, areas with elevated temperatures were discovered. Researchers don't know what this means: it's just that, for some strange reason, some blocks are warmer than all the others, and it has nothing to do with the weather. Currently, researchers are busy searching for hidden cameras in the pyramids to explain this phenomenon.
Hidden pyramids in Antarctica
In some photographs and on Google Earth maps you can see pyramidal tombs in the snow of Antarctica. Researchers call them "snow pyramids." The Internet public who saw these images believes that the Antarctic pyramids were built by human civilization living in Antarctica. Two of the three Antarctic pyramids are located on the continent, one is in close proximity to the coastline. each of them corresponds in shape to the pyramids of Giza. The first of them was discovered by an Antarctic expedition from 1901 to 1913. At the same time, geologists decided not to tell the world about their discovery. Some researchers believe that these pyramids served as housing for people, since 100 years ago the temperature in Antarctica was much higher than it is now. Dr Vanessa Bowman from the British Antarctic Research Center says: "100 million years ago, Antarctica had rainforests similar to those in New Zealand today." Some researchers believe that the pyramids in Antarctica are the legacy of the Atlanteans. And, in their opinion, they can completely change our view of human history. However, skeptics consider them to be just hill-shaped ice formations that grew over millions of years. Further research will show who is right.
Italian pyramids
In 2011, archaeologists excavating an Etruscan tomb in one of the cities of Italy were faced with an incomprehensible mystery. A team of scientists from Italy and the United States was excavating under a wine cellar in the town of Oriveto, where they discovered a staircase in the wall. Continuing to dig, they found several chambers and tunnels connecting them. Analyzing the structure of the discovered tomb, they soon realized that it was shaped like a pyramid. The structure was dated to around 900 BC. In shape it resembled Sudanese tombs. Considering that the army of the Roman Empire conquered the territory of Sudan even before our era, scientists began to look for a connection between the Sudanese tombs and their Italian find, as well as with another Italian structure - the Pyramid of Cestius in Rome. This pyramid, located in the area of the Protestant cemetery, is one of the oldest and most protected Italian sites. Until recently, it was in a dilapidated state, but after Japanese businessman Yuzo Yagi donated 1 million euros for its renovation, it was completely restored and opened to the public in May 2015.
Canada also loves pyramids
Canada is a young country, and few people would immediately believe that there are pyramids similar to the Egyptian ones in Edmonton, Alberta. Meanwhile, this city is simply full of pyramids! In the center, near the Muttart Conservatory, there are pyramidal greenhouses where plants from all over the world are cultivated - from Africa to Western Canada. On the roof of Edmonton City Hall is a huge glass pyramid that changes colors every few months, turning green, blue, red, purple and orange. And at MacEwan University, less than 10 kilometers from City Hall and the Muttadt Conservatory a few blocks from City Hall, there are two pyramids in front of the entrance. There are several other buildings in Edmonton that have pyramids on them. The reasons why Edmontonians love the pyramids so much is unknown.
Who built the pyramids?
Probably not everyone remembers that. that the Egyptians at the time of the construction of the pyramids were typical black Africans. According to scientists, there is no reason to assume that representatives of races different from the typical population of northern Africa could have lived in Egypt at that time. But what is even more interesting is that, contrary to popular belief, the pyramid builders were apparently not tortured slaves. The legend of the use of slave labor in the construction of the pyramids was first invented by ancient Greek historians - and today Hollywood has readily picked it up. In fact, skilled workers from all over Egypt worked on the construction of the pyramids. At the same time, judging by the surviving records, in addition to wages, they received another interesting privilege: a worker who died during construction had the right to be buried in a tomb next to the pharaoh. If we were talking about slaves, the Egyptians would not have allowed such a violation of the caste principle.
Mysteries of the Greek pyramids
Another country where pyramids were discovered is Greece. Several structures called the pyramids of Argolis are one of the most famous ancient monuments of this Greek city. Until recently, it was believed that these buildings were ancient tombs, since ancient Roman manuscripts said that soldiers who fought for the throne of Argos were buried here. But in the 20th century, scientists doubted this, judging by some signs that they were intended for some other, hitherto unknown purposes. Another pyramid in Greece apparently existed northwest of the Peloponnese, but little remains of it: over the centuries, local residents stole the stone for their own needs.
The Mystery of Orion
One of the things that amazes scientists about the Egyptian pyramids is that they were literally built in the center of the Earth. The relative position of the chambers of the king and queen in the largest pyramid reflects the relative position of Orion and Sirius in the firmament. Here is what the author of the book “Fingerprints of God” Robert Boval writes about this: “
A mind-boggling fact about the Egyptian pyramids is they are made literally in the center of the earth. At the southern point of the King’s Chamber inside of the Great Giza Pyramid, is the same point of the Belt of Orion. The Queens chambers are in the direction of the Sirius star. Here is a quote from The Fingerprints of the Gods by Robert Bauval: “The constellation Orion is oriented along the Milky Way as the Great Pyramids are along the Nile. And the star, which the Arabs call Mintaka, is oriented relative to Orion and Sirius in the same way as the smallest of the pyramids relative to the other two. The location of the pyramids on Earth exactly corresponds to the orientation of the brightest stars in the firmament in the year 10450 BC."
What were the pyramids made of?
This news will probably disappoint many, but nevertheless, the fact remains. For centuries, Egyptologists have admired the art of Egyptian engineers, who were able to assemble such huge and geometrically complex shapes from huge limestone blocks. However, only in our time, when it became possible to carry out spectral analysis, it became clear that limestone blocks, as well as more expensive alabaster, granite and basalt, were used only for decoration, including external ones. Most of the interiors were built from raw brick with the addition of straw - the main material from which most buildings were built during the era of the Ancient Kingdoms - from the poor man's hut to the royal palaces. This, of course, adds prosaism to the buildings, but does not detract from the engineering talents of the ancient Egyptians.
Where did the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza go?
Looking at the photo of the largest of the pyramids of Giza, it is easy to notice that the strictness of the form of this ancient tomb is violated only once. Where the eye simply demands the final top stone to complete the strict triangles of the walls, there is only a flat platform that violates the perfection of the geometric structure. Why? There are several versions on this matter. One of them says that the top stone was gold and was stolen many centuries ago. The other is that the platform at the very top was designed to be flat for some reason unknown to us. But the Spanish researcher Miguel Perez Sanchez claims that at the top of the pyramid there was the so-called Eye of Horus - a mystical transparent sphere symbolizing the union of the Sun and Sirius - the star of Isis. It is still impossible to say with certainty who is right.
Ancient pyramids of Bosnia
And again the pyramid in Europe! This time - the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon. According to historians, this is the largest and oldest step pyramid in the world. It was discovered by an American researcher from Boston, a Bosnian by birth, Semir Osmanagic. In 2006, he publicly announced that on Mount Visocica, where he was excavating, he had discovered underground passages and inclusions of lime mortar - and, after months of excavation, having removed many layers of earth, he showed people a mountain that was indeed a pyramid! However, Bosnian geologists did not believe Osmanagic’s statements and, having checked his conclusions, in turn, stated: Visocica is not a pyramid at all, but an ordinary hill, to which nature gave a shape similar to a stepped one. And the fact that the steps are so even is due to Osmanagich’s “cruel joke”. However, the Boston Bosnian himself does not give up and claims that he found a real pyramid in his homeland, and geologists are simply captive of stereotypes. Time will tell who is actually right.
So what were the pyramids actually used for?
Back in school, we were taught that pyramids are the tombs of pharaohs, and nothing more. However, what we have learned today about the pyramids, including those built outside Egypt, casts doubt on this. In fact, historians agree with us. Today, there is much more than one version that explains why the pyramids were really needed. In particular, experts suggest that they were used as treasuries, giant antennas for communicating with the gods and feeding divine energy, meaningless buildings designed to create jobs and relieve social tension, shelters during sandstorms and Nile floods, houses of brothel for the highest Egyptian nobility and even sewage treatment plants to purify the Nile waters. Moreover, the author of each of these unexpected theories has his own evidence. Which one is right? As always, time will tell.
NASA specialists have found pyramids in space!
And finally, at the end of the day, here’s a brand new, fresh riddle for you! Compared to the pyramids, she is just a baby - she is not yet 10 years old. In 2007, NASA launched the robotic spacecraft Dawn to explore Ceres, a minor planet in the solar system located in the asteroid belt. Now look at the photo that Dawn sent to the puzzled scientists from Ceres! On the surface of the planet, a structure is clearly visible, with outlines like two peas in a pod, similar to a pyramid! It turns out that this form is sacred not only for the Earth, but also for the cosmos? Let's hope that this mystery will be solved faster than the mysteries of the Egyptian pyramids, which scientists have been struggling with for centuries.
The pyramids of Egypt are simply stunning; the legends and myths force you to hold your breath and listen in admiration. For most centuries, scientists and researchers have been trying to get, in the literal sense of the word, to the truth that the most unique man-made wonders of the world keep inside themselves!
In accordance with the Egyptian religion, pyramids were needed for people who had gone to the afterlife, because together with embalmed bodies, all the things a person needed, everything he needed during life were buried there: precious jewelry, clothing, household utensils and other items , which he might need in another life.
It is believed that the larger and higher the pyramid, the more powerful and richer the person was during his lifetime. Now, looking at such large structures, it is difficult to imagine what kind of wealth the pharaohs must have owned, and that all this was built by human hands; however, it should be taken into account that all construction was carried out manually, without the use of special construction equipment.
And when you also look at the numbers, it will seem completely unrealistic - the area of the largest and well-known Cheops pyramid is 85,000 m3, the length of each side of the pyramid is 230 m and the height is almost 150 m. To really imagine how much this is, then just remember a 9-story building, its area is approximately 10,000 m3. These numbers are, in fact, shocking! The most fascinating thing is that it took only 20 years to create such a brute!
Shrouded in mystery from creation itself. To this day, scientists do not agree on when and by whom the pyramids were built. The ideas are generally divided into two theories:
1st - that the pyramids were built long before the first Egyptians by aliens;
The second one says that it was the Egyptians who were the creators of these unique objects.
At the same time, they continue to argue about the actual purpose of the pyramids. Some believe that the famous pyramids at Giza were intended as beacons for alien ships, indicating a course towards the Sinai Desert, which served as a typical port. This version is confirmed by a photograph taken by NASA's galactic spacecraft from space.
If you superimpose a map of Egypt onto a map of the starry sky, you will notice that the placement of the pyramids coincides with the stars, the placement of the Nile can be compared to the Milky Way, and the three pyramids at Giza are recognized as Orion’s belt. But not everything coincides - 2 monuments of the 5th dynasty do not fall into such a code, but they are not stars, but they are 2 parallel medians.
Archaeologists have found unique ancient Egyptian manuscripts and texts that, according to legend, were acquired in ancient times from the Nefers - people with divine capabilities who lived in Atlantis.
And these are no longer some hypotheses, there is real documentary evidence of this. Whoever those Gods who were worshiped in Egypt were, ordinary mortal people who knew the laws of the Universe or aliens, they gave the Egyptians knowledge that we have not known until now. In particular, the Egyptians glorified their knowledge of the synchronization of the heavenly and earthly in history by constructing the entire complex of pyramids in strict accordance with the star map.
Like the stars, the pyramids of Egypt are very diverse; we can only solve the mysteries hidden in the majestic structures that have carried ancient knowledge through the centuries. There is a legend that when all the doors are open and the last riddle is solved, the end of the world will come. But at the same time there is another legend, which says that in the pyramids, like in the others, hidden knowledge is hidden that will help reveal the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids, and with them the secrets of the philosophy of the world.
While the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids remain secrets and excite our fantasies, no one has yet been able to guess them, perhaps because they are looking in the wrong place; after all, one of the legends says that the secret is hidden not on the walls and in writing, but in the buildings themselves; this knowledge is the source of a separate energy, which is destined to be read only by a chosen one!

The Egyptian pyramids are those wonders of the world that have captivated human attention for many centuries. Mysterious structures, the construction of which no one can accurately explain. One thing makes the mystery of the Egyptian pyramids even more interesting.
It is known that Napoleon in the 18th century. not yet being Emperor of France, I wanted to visit inside. During the Egyptian campaign, he was attracted by mystical tales. He stayed inside for about 20 minutes. And then he came out very puzzled and even a little scared, silently and with difficulty getting on his horse, he returned to his headquarters. However, to this day no one knows what struck Napoleon then; he took this secret with him.
And for a long time now, scientists, Egyptologists and simple daredevils have been trying to understand the main function. But even now the pyramids are a big mystery that our ancestors left us. No one can say how they were built or what they were intended for.
The Mystery of the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt
Over the past 20-30 years, interest in the pyramids of Egypt has increased greatly. But it is still not known exactly what their purpose was. There were a lot of Egyptologists who did not see only the tombs of pharaohs in the pyramids. On the contrary, many scientists put forward other versions, and some of them are capable of changing modern people’s understanding of ancient civilizations. remain a big mystery to people; it is very difficult to imagine that such structures were built just to bury the pharaoh. Their construction was very grandiose, and a lot of effort was spent.
One of the Arab historians who lived in the 14th century. wrote about the Cheops pyramid. In his opinion, it was built by order of the mythical sage Hermes Trismegistus. He ordered the construction of 30 treasure vaults, they were filled with jewelry and various weapons. Another Arab traveler who lived in the same century argued that the pyramids were erected before the flood. They were built to preserve books and other valuable items.
In Ancient Egypt, powerful pharaohs ruled, and they had crowds of slaves under their command. Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure are known as the most important. But the problem is that in these three pyramids there is no evidence in the form of hieroglyphic inscriptions or mummies indicating that these are their pyramids.
On September 17, 2002, a report appeared in the media that several researchers intend to visit the cache, which was discovered in. They were going to do this with the help of a special robot. It was equipped with a camera. Everyone expected the secret of the pyramid to be revealed. But everyone was disappointed; they were unable to penetrate far. This is due to the design of the pyramids. After a certain stage of construction, it is no longer possible to enter some rooms.
The secret of the inner contents of the pyramids
In 1872, the British scientist Dixon tapped one of the chambers, the so-called queen's chamber. While tapping, he discovered voids, then used a pick to destroy the thin wall of the cladding. He managed to discover two holes of equal size, 20 cm each. Dixon and his like-minded people decided that these were adits for ventilation.
Already in 1986, French specialists used a special apparatus and, with the help of technology, also discovered cavities that were thicker than other stone masonry. Then specialists from Japan used special modern electronic devices. They illuminated the entire area and the rest of the area to the Sphinx. Research showed many voids in the form of labyrinths, but it was not possible to get there. And those premises that scientists could explore did not yield results. No mummies or any remains of material culture were discovered there.
So the question arises - where did all the contents go - the sarcophagus or the jewelry. Maybe Egyptologists correctly put forward the version that after several centuries robbers visited the pyramid and took everything with them. But now many people think that the tombs were empty from the beginning, even before the entrance was walled up.
The mystery of the Caliph's entry into the Egyptian pyramid
One historical fact can be cited as proof of the theory that it was originally empty there. In IX, Caliph Abdullah al-Mamun and his detachment penetrated into. When they found themselves inside in the king's chamber, they were supposed to find treasures there, which, according to legend, were buried with the pharaoh. But nothing was found there. Everything seemed to be cleaned; clean walls and floors and empty sarcophagi appeared before the caliph.
This applies not only to these pyramids at Giza, but to all those built by the III and IV dynasties. Neither the pharaoh's body nor any signs of burial were ever found in these pyramids. And some didn’t even have sarcophagi. This is also another secret...
A stepped one was opened in Saqqara in 1954. There was a sarcophagus in it. When scientists found it, it was still sealed, which means that the robbers were not there. So in the end it turned out to be empty. There is a hypothesis that the pyramids are a special place that was sacralized. There is an opinion that a person entered one of the chambers of the pyramid, and then came out already deified. However, this does not seem to be a rational assumption. Most of all, the belief is that Mamun found maps in the pyramid that were compiled by representatives of a highly developed civilization.
This can be confirmed by the following event. After returning from Egypt, the Caliph created maps of the earth's surface and the most accurate catalog of stars for that period of time - the Damascus Tables. Based on this, it can be assumed that some secret knowledge was stored in the depths of the pyramid, which later ended up in the hands of Mamun. He takes them with him to Bogdad.
An Alternative Approach to Studying the Egyptian Pyramids
There is another approach to studying the mystery of the pyramids. According to research by geologists, a pyramid is a clot of specific pyramidal energy. Thanks to its shape, the pyramid can accumulate this energy. This kind of research is still quite young, but many people are doing it. Such studies have only been carried out since the 1960s. There are even facts allegedly that the razor blades that were located inside the pyramid became sharp again for some time.
It is believed that the pyramid became a place for processing energy into other, more convenient energy. Then it was used for some other things.
This theory goes far beyond the boundaries of official science. However, it still exists and it has its followers. Different scientists are trying to discover the secrets of these structures in different ways. Many unknowns remain. Even elementary - how did such massive structures survive for thousands of years? Their construction looks so reliable that it forces many to think about the secret meaning of the pyramids.
It is already a proven fact that most of the buildings of other ancient civilizations have long since collapsed. Archaeologists are making great efforts to find them and somehow restore them. But only the top lining fell off the pyramids. The rest of their design symbolizes reliability.
The secret of the construction of the Egyptian pyramids.
Already from the 19th century. Many Egyptologists study the structure of the pyramids. And they made astonishing conclusions. No one can reveal the secret of the construction of Egyptian tombs. However, it has been proven that the size of the slabs is selected with an accuracy of up to a millimeter. Each slab is identical in size to the previous one. And the joints between them are so correctly made that it doesn’t even allow a blade to be inserted there. This is simply incredible. How could the inhabitants of that distant time build so correctly without any technical innovations?
The calculated width between granite blocks is 0.5 mm. This is ingenious and defies explanation. This is the accuracy that modern devices have. But this is by no means the only secret in construction. Also striking are the right angles and the precise symmetry between the four sides. But an even more important mystery is who brought several stone blocks to such a great height. The main version is that they built pyramids. But there is a problem with the evidence base. Some nuances do not fit into this version. It is unclear how, given those technical and mechanical solutions, it was possible to build such massive structures.
The secret of the construction technology of the Egyptian pyramids
It has been suggested that modern people simply have no idea what construction technologies were used. But it is impossible to build what was built without modern jacks and other tools.
Sometimes versions are put forward that are simply absurd at first glance - what kind of technologies were they, maybe some alien civilizations brought them here. Even with all the achievements of modern man, it would be difficult to repeat such construction. This could have been done, but the construction itself was difficult. And here is another secret that the pyramids carry with them.
Those pyramids that are located in Giza also contain the Sphinx and the Valleys, and here’s another secret for you. During their construction, slabs weighing almost 200 tons were used. And here it becomes unclear how the blocks were moved to the right place. And 200 tons is not the limit of the Egyptians' capabilities. In Egypt there are architectural structures weighing 800 tons.
It is also interesting that around the complex there were not even any hints found that such blocks were dragged from somewhere or moved to the construction site. Nothing found. Hence the assumption about levitation technology is put forward. Based on the myths and traditions of ancient peoples, a lot of useful information can be extracted in this regard. Some of them directly or indirectly indicate the existence of such technology. You may even find images that look like a tank or a helicopter. In principle, for those who adhere to an alternative version of the construction of the pyramids, this theory explains a lot.
Egyptian pyramids and mysteries around them
Of course, even alternative versions, if we are to be objective, cannot be discounted. Every scientist or ordinary person can go and see for himself what kind of structures these are. It immediately becomes clear that this is not a primitive construction by some slaves. This is not even construction using exclusively manual labor. If you follow the logic, then there must be some unknown construction system, and again not a simple one. An example is the construction of massive and reliable structures using special technologies that have not yet been discovered by modern researchers.
Now there are about three dozen different hypotheses that are trying to uncover the secrets of the pyramids. Most Egyptologists are of the opinion about the use of inclined planes, but historians are not architects. But they put forward other versions. They precisely determined that in order to lay an inclined plane to , an inscription more than 1.5 km long would be needed. Moreover, the volume of the inscription itself would be three times the volume of the pyramid itself. Another question that arises is what to build from. It would be impossible to build with simple soil, as they would begin to settle over time and under the weight of the blocks.
Another mystery is what tools were used to build the blocks. And in general they were built as a whole. One way or another, now it is impossible to adhere to an unambiguous version in this matter. There are many secrets left that are still inaccessible to humans. Both rational and, for some, absurd versions were given here. However, there are such versions, and history is an objective thing. And therefore, such alternative versions also have the right to exist.

Secrets and legends of the tombs of the pharaohs

There are more than 70 Egyptian pyramids in total, but only 3 of them are the most famous. These are the tombs of the great pharaohs that are located in Giza - the pyramids of Mekerin (Menkaure), Khafre (Khefre) and Cheops (Khufu). Many ancient legends, numerous mysterious legends and absolutely inexplicable mystical incidents are associated with these places.
Secrets of Khafre
Tomb of Mikerin
Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
The Mystery of Tutankhamun's Pyramid
Further events developed at a very fast pace. Even before the moment when the tomb of the pharaoh was opened, Lord Carnarvon received one strange letter from Count Haymon, an English clairvoyant. In this letter, the count warned the inquisitive Carnarvon that if he wanted to penetrate the secret of Tutankhamun’s pyramid, he would face a serious illness that would lead him to death. The lord was very alarmed by this message, and he decided to turn to the famous fortune teller Velma for advice. The clairvoyant repeated almost word for word the same warning that had only recently been received from Count Haimon. Lord Carnarvon decided to complete the excavations, but preparations for them had already gone far. Involuntarily, he was forced to challenge all the mystical forces that guard the tomb of the late pharaoh...
Encyclopedias of knowledge, in its own way a treasury of Egyptian wisdom (the pyramids of Tenochtitlan);
Astronomical observatories;
Barriers against sands coming from the desert;
Architecture standards;
Alien information capsules;
Border fortresses and even berths for Noah's Ark.
These are the tombs of the great pharaohs that are located in Giza - the pyramids of Mekerin (Menkaure), Khafre (Khefre) and Cheops (Khufu). Many ancient legends, numerous mysterious legends and absolutely inexplicable mystical incidents are associated with these places.
It cannot be said with certainty that today all the secrets of the pyramids of Egypt have been solved, because their priests were undoubtedly very inventive and resourceful people. It is quite possible that our researchers still have to solve many of the mysteries of the Sphinx and be lucky enough to penetrate into the essence of Egyptian magic, science and architecture.
Secrets of Khafre
The height of the Khafre pyramid is 136.5 m. Its structure is very simple - two entrances located on the north side and 2 chambers. The Pyramid of Khafre was built from stone blocks of various sizes, then lined with slabs made of white limestone. The top of this tomb is made of very beautiful yellow limestone.
It has been proven that trying to penetrate deep into the secrets of the pyramids of Egypt is not safe! An event that happened to tourists back in 1984 can serve as proof of this. A large queue crowded in front of the entrance to one tunnel, which leads deeper into the pyramid. All the people were waiting for the arrival of the group, which went to the room with the sarcophagus - that is, the tomb of Khafre, in which the mummy of this ruler was once sealed. It is believed that in addition to his pyramid, this pharaoh erected a mysterious lion man - the Great Sphinx.
In the end, the people who were there returned, but what happened to them! All of them were choking from coughing, suffering from nausea and general weakness, their eyes were red. Later, tourists said that at the same time they all felt pain in their eyes, irritation in their throat, nose and lungs, and experienced profuse lacrimation. The victims went for medical help, they were examined, but... No specific abnormalities were identified. It was assumed that, in all likelihood, the tomb of the pharaoh was filled with some mysterious gas that leaked into the tomb in an unknown way.
The tomb was closed, and a commission was urgently convened to find out the secret of the Egyptian pyramid. The relevant experts have put forward several of their working versions - the emergence of caustic gases directly from faults in the depths of the earth’s crust, the work of unknown attackers, or even the intervention of some mystical forces. According to one of the most striking versions, one of the traps of antiquity, specially equipped against robbers by the priests, could have been located in the tomb of the pharaoh.
Tomb of Mikerin
The Greeks called Khafre's heir and son Mikerin. The smallest of the large pyramids known to us belongs to this great ruler. At first, the height of this structure was only 66 meters, but the current one is 55.5 meters. The length of each side is 103 meters. The entrance is located on the northern wall; part of the cladding has also been preserved here. This also contributed to the formation of legends about the mystical secrets of Egypt.
The Pyramid of Mikerin was discovered by British Colonel Vance Howard in 1837. He discovered a sarcophagus made of basalt in the golden chamber of the tomb, as well as a coffin lid made of wood, which was carved in the shape of a human figure. This find was dated as belonging to the era of early Christianity. The sarcophagus was not delivered to England - the ship that transported it from Egypt sank.
There is a legend that the Egyptians adopted some secrets from the Atlanteans who arrived in their country. So, for example, it is generally accepted that the effect that it has on the cells of any living creature depends on the shape, as well as the mass of the pyramid. The pyramid can simultaneously destroy and heal many diseases. It is known that the influence of the field of the Mikerin pyramid is so great that tourists who were in its critical zone for a long time soon died. Certain people who entered the tomb of Mikerin fell into a faint, unconscious state, and sharply felt a deterioration in their health. Therefore, you should not try to unravel the secrets of the pyramids of Egypt by trial and error.
Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
The surviving records of the Greek historian Herodotus indicate that the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops was built over a period of more than twenty years. During this period, about 100,000 people constantly worked at the construction site. The body of the Cheops pyramid consists of 128 stone layers; the outer edges of the structure were lined with snow-white limestone. It is important to note that the facing slabs are fitted with such impeccable precision that it is impossible even to insert a knife blade into the gap between them.
Many researchers have tried to penetrate the secrets of the pyramids of Egypt. Famous archaeologist Ghoneim Mohammed discovered an ancient Egyptian pyramid with an alabaster sarcophagus located inside. When the excavations were coming to an end, one of the stone blocks collapsed and carried away several workers at once. Nothing was found in the sarcophagus removed from there.
The Englishman Brighton Paul, having heard that a large number of tourists visiting the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops were experiencing a rapid deterioration in their health, decided to experience the influence of this pyramid on himself. The tireless researcher had the opportunity to penetrate into the burial room of Cheops himself, which ended very badly for him. After some time, Brighton was discovered and removed from there. The Englishman was in a semi-conscious state; after he was found, he even admitted that he lost consciousness from indescribable horror.
The Mystery of Tutankhamun's Pyramid
The autumn of 1922 left its mark forever in the history of the development of archeology - the British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the pyramid of Tutankhamun. On February 16, 1923, Carter, together with Lord Carnarvon (the philanthropist who financed this enterprise), opened the tomb in the presence of witnesses. In the room of this sarcophagus there was a tablet, it contained an inscription in ancient Egyptian, which was later deciphered as: “Anyone who dares to disturb the peace of the Pharaoh will be overtaken by death with rapid steps.” When the archaeologist deciphered this tablet, he hid it for a long time so as not to confuse all his companions and workers with such an ominous warning.
Further events developed at a very fast pace. Even before the moment when the tomb of the pharaoh was opened, Lord Carnarvon received one strange letter from Count Haymon, an English clairvoyant. In this letter, the count warned the inquisitive Carnarvon that if he wanted to penetrate the secret of Tutankhamun’s pyramid, he would face a serious illness that would lead him to death. The lord was very alarmed by this message, and he decided to turn to the famous fortune teller Velma for advice. The clairvoyant repeated almost word for word the same warning that had only recently been received from Count Haimon. Lord Carnarvon decided to complete the excavations, but preparations for them had already gone far. Involuntarily, he was forced to challenge all the mystical forces that guard the tomb of the late pharaoh.
The 57-year-old Lord Carnarvon suddenly fell ill after just 6 weeks. At first, doctors believed that the disease was the result of a local mosquito bite. It later turned out that the lord cut himself while shaving and possibly suffered blood poisoning. But be that as it may, he soon died, and the exact cause of his death is not clear.
This incident is not limited to the death of Carnarvon alone. Within one year, 5 more members of the expedition that tried to penetrate the secrets of the pyramids of Egypt die. Among them were conservationist Mace, English literature professor La Fleur, Carter's secretary Bethel Richard, and a radiologist named Wood. Mace died in the same hotel where Carnarvon died, and also for an unknown reason. Before his death, he complained of attacks of weakness, experienced apathy and melancholy. Over the next few years, 22 people who were somehow related to the research and excavations carried out in the tomb of the pharaoh died suddenly and suddenly.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s a fact: Lord Canterville on the Titanic transported the perfectly preserved mummy of Amenophis, a soothsayer who lived under Amenhotep the Fourth, which has been perfectly preserved to this day. This mummy was removed from a fairly small tomb, over which the temple towered. Her peace was protected by sacred amulets, which accompanied the mummy on this journey. Under the head of the mummy there was a tablet with an inscription that also depicted Osiris. The words on the tablet read: “Wake up from the fainting spell in which you are, and triumph over the machinations against you.”
Why were the pyramids of Giza built?
Such majestic structures could be not only the tombs of great pharaohs. The secrets of the pyramids of Egypt have not been solved to this day. And yet there are some assumptions. It is likely that the pyramids are:
- encyclopedias of knowledge, in its own way a treasury of Egyptian wisdom (the pyramids of Tenochtitlan);
- astronomical observatories;
- barriers against sands coming from the desert;
- architectural standards;
- alien information capsules;
- border fortresses and even berths for Noah's Ark.
And this is only a small part of the existing assumptions made by scientists and many other people regarding these architectural structures.
One of the unsolved mysteries is the speed of construction, fantastic for those times, with which each tomb was erected. Scientists calculated it based on the time of the Nile flood, the life expectancy of the rulers, and other factors. It turned out that 4 blocks were installed every minute, that is, 240 every hour! And all this only with the help of rather primitive mechanisms - ropes, levers, etc. There is even one incredible assumption that the Egyptian priests then possessed a secret that helped overcome the law of attraction.
“If you look at the Great Pyramid without prejudice, with a fresh look and, in addition, with the eye of a physicist, if you measure everything, you will notice many such things, coincidences ... But these coincidences are presented in such a quantity and concern such a unique object that it begins to worry,” - physicist Jean-Louis Bazdevan shared his thoughts in an interview.
Modern discoveries by Egyptologists do not fit into the framework of the existing theory, which claims that the Cheops pyramid was built during the 20-year reign of the pharaoh and was erected as his tomb, that the ancient Egyptians carved granite blocks for the pyramids using copper chisels, stone hammers and ropes.
There are no records in written sources about the start date of the construction of the pyramids, and there is no accurate historical data about any Egyptian pharaoh. None of the theories have been confirmed. In addition, facts that do not fit into the existing theory are simply hushed up.
Time and time again, humanity tries to unravel the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids.
Golden proportions
“I tried many shapes, many height options and returned to the “golden proportion” of the Egyptian pyramid, and this is amazing,” said Bei Yumin, architect and author of the pyramid project in the Louvre, in an interview.
Let's take a closer look at the Cheops pyramid: it has ultra-precise proportions, its dimensions combine data on the speed of light, a qubit (royal cubit = 52.36 cm, such a small measure of such a grandiose building), the number , the golden number φ, the modern unit of measurement - meter So, ancient people used the metric system, which modern humanity has known since the 18th century, and constant quantities, which also became known to us not so long ago.
Ideally smooth walls of corridors and chambers, super-dense seams between stone blocks, where not even a knife blade will pass (and this is without the use of cement), the error in the evenness of the granite walls of the upper chamber is 0.5 mm, impeccable geographical orientation to the cardinal points, excellent seismic resistance. These parameters are more advanced than the modern level of construction, when ultra-precise instruments are used.
“This is high-quality architecture,” Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Igor Taganov assessed the pyramids in an interview with the TV program “The X-Files.” - Egyptians, out of national pride, believe that all this heritage belongs to them. But it turns out that they inherited an ancient, antediluvian culture.”
The Mystery of the Egyptian Pyramids: Sacred Cosmology
Brilliant knowledge of astronomy is also one of the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. On the day of the equinox, at a certain angle of direction of sunlight, a clear concavity of the side of the pyramid is clearly visible, which indicates 8 faces of the pyramid, and not 4, as is commonly believed.
There is an assumption that, according to their functional purpose, the pyramids were observatories that made it possible to monitor the starry sky. According to another assumption, the main goal of the Egyptian pyramids is to achieve the immortality of the pharaohs, their resurrection in another world. According to the conclusion of director Patrice Puillard's film "Revelation of the Pyramids" (which, as it claims, is based only on facts), the Giza plateau is a huge clock of our planet, the dial of which is 4 constellations (Leo, Scorpio, Bull and Aquarius), and the hands The Cheops pyramid, the Sphinx and the small pyramids serve as sites, which go through a full cycle every 26 thousand years (according to assumptions, the cycle of climate change).
Another secret of the Egyptian and other pyramids of the world
Pyramids have been found in different parts of the world: Tibet, China, Japan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Cambodia, Vietnam, Sudan and other countries. This fact allows us to talk about the world pyramid system.
All these pyramids turned out to have a lot in common - the use of stone blocks of various shapes (similar to how today we use the same bricks), orientation to the cardinal points, excellent seismic resistance.
An interesting fact is that ancient shrines such as Machu Picchu and the pyramids of Paratoari (Peru), Persipolis (Iran), Ur (Iraq), Khanjuraho (India), Mohenjo Daro (Pakistan), Sukhothai (Thailand), Angkor Wat ( Cambodia), Easter Island and the Egyptian pyramids are located along one line that circles the earth like the equator, and at an angle of 30˚ to it.
New discoveries about one of the seven wonders of the world that have survived to this day raise even more questions. The Sphinx continues to remain silent, protecting the peace of the pyramids and their secrets.
