yes, these are cool, and yes it make us rethink what was exaclty going on back then, but it all fits into a timeline, and considering this timeline has only really been given serious global thought for the past 100 odd years, then the timeline itself is in a state of flux.

The Pyramids at Giza - PyramidCam Live!
We also wish to encourage Egypt tourism and judging from the millions of viewers we are reaching and the many many emails that we have received praising the site, wondering at the unique power and beauty of the Pyramids and (the writers) promising to make a visit at the first opportunity, we know we have succeeded, at least in some small degree. To be visible, a meteor must be within 120 miles of an observer, become visible on average at 55 miles above the earth's surface and burn up by 50 miles above the surface
Stone quarries in ancient Egypt. Details about the Giza quarries, the granite quarries in Assuan and the Tura limestone quarries
Before leaving the quarry, a master stonemason controls the size, shape of the stone and if it is smoothed enough at the right places exactly, the way it is necessary for its intended place on the pyramid. Because the stones weather to a slightly yellowish tone, they were extracted already during the time of building the pyramids from layers deep down, and even from underground
The Pyramid of Giza, the Christ Within, and You!
From the recently discovered stone megaliths off of Okinawa, to the discovery of a great earthen pyramid in Bosnia, the great pyramids of the earth truly represent a great enigma of the ancient world. How can there be an altar in the midst of a state and at the same time be on the border of a state? An astute person of Egyptian history knows that ancient Egypt was divided into two kingdoms, upper and lower Egypt
Schoch who examined this claim made by Hancock and Bauval found geological evidence to suggest that the deep erosion patterns at the base of the Sphinx were caused by water and not by wind and sand erosion as was commonly believed. First the horizontal reflection of the sunrays on the North face seizes and next just before autumn (autumn equinox) the complete illumination of the north face seizes
Think about it, how is this possible? There is a meridian running through the pyramids that divides the continents and oceans into two exactly equal halves. Not only is the actual construction of the pyramids a great mystery, its mathematical, astronomical and geographical significance and precision is even more of a mystery
For example, it is now more likely than not that the tops of the pyramids are cast, as it would have been increasingly difficult to drag the stones to the summit.

Such an item would not pass down the descending corridor, and since the pyramid had already risen some distance above its foundations, the only solution was to place a new burial chamber - uniquely - high up in the superstructure, where the sarcophagus could be installed before the chamber walls were built
HIEROGLYPHS FOUND IN SHAFT OF THE GREAT PYRAMID - Giza
If the latter, then that may well count as further evidence for the existence of a prehistoric civilisation in Egypt, as has long been argued (quite convincingly in my opinion) by such people as John Anthony West and others. Farrell has a doctorate in patristics from the University of Oxford, and pursues research in physics, alternative history and science, and "strange stuff"
Great Pyramid at Giza
The Great Pyramid was part of a mortuary complex with other, smaller pyramids and tombs.The Great Pyramid at Giza is also known as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, using the Egyptian name for the pharaoh. Built from more than 2,000,000 blocks of stone averaging more than two tons each, the Great Pyramid at Giza was the tallest structure in the world for more than 4300 years

How did the ancient Egyptians feed thousands of workers at Giza? We know from ancient texts that a staple diet of bread and beer were disbursed as rations in royal labor projects. What kind of bread did the pyramid builders eat? In September and October 1993, The National Geographic Society funded our experimental archaeology project to help answer this question
The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza in Egypt, An Introduction
In reality, modern scholars for the most part probably find this pyramid less interesting than many other ancient structures in Egypt, mostly because it is not decorated with reliefs and inscriptions (though parts of its subsidiary structures were), and is otherwise, except for some parts of its internal structure, a fairly typical pyramid complex. By the time the Arabs invaded Egypt during the seventh century, there was little or no religious reverence afforded the structure, so casing stones and other building material from the complex were reused for new building projects in the area of Cairo
Phi, Pi and the Great Pyramid of Egypt at Giza - Phi 1.618: The Golden Ratio
It was circular proportions that determined the shape of the pyramid at Giza for Khufu, not Phi or any Golden Ratio, which were culturally unknown and even irrelevant for the Ancient Egyptians whose life was based on practical, functional geometry and basic symbolic systems. The writings of Herodotus make a vague and debated reference to a relationship between the area of the surface of the face of the pyramid to that of the area of a square formed by its height
Secret tunnel leading to the Great Pyramid of Giza discovered
Colonel Walid el-Sharkawy, Head of Detectives of Giza Antiquities, said that the charlatan was digging for months under his home near the pyramids where it is forbidden to dig or construct any building. The discovery of this secret corridor could be categorized as one of the most important discoveries directly connected with the Great Pyramid of Giza; Archaeologists hope to find out detailed information regarding the purpose of the tunnel and the connected areas

He also contended that this storehouse of wisdom remained sealed by Divine appointment, to be revealed to those now living; to whom these truths would bear witness, at a time when they would be most needed. Pyramidologists continue to revise and update their timelines, predictions, and studies of the Great Pyramid and pyramidology is still pursued today with renewed interest
Amazing Facts About The Great Pyramid Of Giza : Ancient Mysteries
It is reported that when the pyramid was first broken into that the swivel door, weighing some 20 tons, was so well balanced that it could be opened by pushing out from the inside with only minimal force, but when closed, was so perfect a fit that it could scarcely be detected and there was not enough crack or crevice around the edges to gain a grasp from the outside. Its first appearance appears to have been during the vicious interrogation of members of the Knights Templar by the Roman Catholic Church during the Inquisition
The Great Pyramid of Giza
From the moment that you leave Giza (Ghizeh or Gisa), until you reach the Pyramids they seem continually near to you - you would think that you had but a narrow field to cross to reach their base - yet you have four miles to ride.They certainly have an awesome look; everlasting as it were, compared to any other structure which you have either seen, known to exist or can imagine. Whether you regard the Pyramid as a tomb, a temple, or something else, there is precious little silence in which to take in the enormity of the place.This website offers a tour of the most important Pyramids of Ancient Egypt, featuring descriptions by both modern and 19th century authors and a number of beautiful 19th century engravings
The Great Pyramid of Giza by Curriculum - Thingiverse
Weight: more than 2 million blocks of stone, each about 2.5 tons (the weight of about 25 refrigerators) steep of the sides Width at the base: approximately 10 football fields. Why did the pharaohs need these things? (Afterlife) The ancient Egyptians had no cranes or machines to help them move and cut the stone blocks used in the pyramids
The Great Pyramid of Giza
To proceed to the construction of its monumental ambition, Khufu even order to bring stones extracted from the mountains of Arabia which were loaded on boats to go down the Nile until Gizeh. The Egyptians reached the perfection by building this edifice that was raised by the Pharaoh Khufu and that we know nowadys with the name of the Great Pyramid of Giza
But it is important to note that the ascending passage in the Great Pyramid had been carefully concealed by the builders, so nobody in this early era knew about the Queen's and King's chambers high up inside this pyramid. Come with us on a journey to explore lost civilisations, sacred writings, ancient places, unexplained artefacts and scientific mysteries while we seek to reconstruct and retell the story of our beginnings
25 Facts about the Great Pyramid of Giza
Here are the facts: The pyramid is estimated to have around 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh from 2 to 30 tons each and there are even some blocks that weigh over 50 tons. It has been calculated that the original pyramid with its casing stones would act like gigantic mirrors and reflect light so powerful that it would be visible from the moon as a shining star on earth
The ancient Egyptians believed that a part of the Pharaoh's spirit remained with his body after death and so they buried with him anything that he might need in the afterlife including gold, favorite objects and pottery. This pyramid is one of the three fourth-dynasty pyramids built in the Giza region and is the largest, with a height of approximately 147 meters and sides measuring 216 meters each
