There are no more famous ancient sites within Egypt, or for that matter elsewhere in the world, than the Great Pyramids at Giza. They are, without question, the icon most associated with the Egypt. They have been both the main destination for tourists, and a source of imaginative thought to the world for over three thousand years.\n\nHowever, there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, many of which are relatively unknown to anyone who is not an ancient Egypt enthusiast. All but a very few are grouped around and near the City of Cairo, just south of the Nile Delta. Otherwise, only one royal pyramid is known in southern Egypt (at Abydos), that being the one built by Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty and Egypt's New Kingdom. It may have also been the last royal pyramid built in Egypt.\n\nHence, major pyramids were not built throughout Egypt's ancient history. The Pyramid Age began with a burst of building, starting with the 3rd Dynasty reign of Djoser. Some of the early kings, most specifically Snefru, built more than one pyramid. Almost all of the kings added to their number through the end of the Middle Kingdom, with the possible exception of the First Intermediate Period between the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After the first Pharaoh of Egypt's New Kingdom, Ahmose, royal pyramid building by Egyptians ceased entirely. Somewhat abruptly the kings of the New Kingdom chose, rather than making their tombs completely obvious, to hide them in the hills of the West Bank of Thebes (modern Luxor).\n\nHowever, smaller pyramids were constructed, for example in the Deir el-Medina necropolis, by private individuals. The Late Period Nubians who ruled Egypt also built relatively small pyramids with much steeper sides, though these were in fact constructed in Nubia itself. This tradition was carried on in Nubia after these southern rulers lost control of Egypt, and eventually, more pyramids were actually built in Nubia than Egypt, though on a much smaller scale.\n\nOther pyramids in the world certainly exist, but their purpose, for the most part, was different than those of ancient Egypt. The most famous outside Egypt are probably those located in Mexico and to the south of Mexico, but these appear to have been built more as temples. In Egypt, all but a select few of the pyramids were built as tombs, sometimes to hold the physical body of a pharaoh (as well as other individuals), or to hold the soul of the deceased (as in the case of the small cult pyramids built next to the larger ones). Otherwise, the purpose of only a few small, regional stepped pyramids remains elusive.\n\nWhile pyramids were, for the most part, tombs for the Pharaohs of Egypt, one must nevertheless question the reason that Egyptian rulers chose this particular shape, and for that matter, why they built them so large. Today, we believe that they chose the shape in order to mimic the Benben, a pyramid shaped stone found in the earliest of temples, which itself is thought to symbolize the primeval mound from which the Egyptians believed life emerged. This also connected the pyramid to Re, the Sun God, as it was he, according to some of the ancient Egypt mythology, who rose from the primeval mound to create life.\n\nAs far the great size of many of the pyramids in Egypt, we can really only surmise that the Pharaohs were making a statement about their own power and perhaps, about the glory and strength of their country. However, it should also be remembered that many of the latter pyramids were not nearly as large as the Great Pyramids at Giza (and elsewhere).\n\nPyramids evolved. The first of them was not a perfectly formed pyramid. In fact, the first Pyramid we believe that was built in Egypt, that of Djoser, was not a true pyramid at all with smooth sides and a point at the top. Rather, its sides were stepped, and the top of the pyramid truncated with a flat surface (as best we know). As the Egyptian pyramids evolved, there were failures as well glorious fail

Angles associated with a Pyramid\n\ncheck out the site for the mathematical equation\n\n\n\n\n\n            In mathematics, the term pyramid refers to a rather general type of geometric solid.  One can find the definition here.  But the pyramids that one finds in different parts of the world generally have a rectangular base with the apex directly above the center of the base.  Most of the pyramids in Egypt actually have a square base and are therefore quite symmetrical. The four faces are isosceles triangles and are congruent to each other.  The shape of such a pyramid is determined by the angle that each face makes with the base, i.e. the angle formed by the horizontal line joining the midpoint of the base of a face to the center of the pyramid and the slanted line joining that midpoint to the apex of the pyramid.    That angle could be any angle between 0o and 90o. If that angle is close to 90o, then the pyramid would be very tall and would seem like a simple, pointed obelisk.  If that angle is close to 0o, then the pyramid would be almost flat and one would  probably be unhappy calling it a pyramid.  But the shape is also determined by various other quantities.  For example, the angle that each edge of the pyramid makes with the base would be sufficient.  (That angle is formed by the horizontal line joining a corner of the pyramid to the center and the edge joining that corner to the apex.)   Either of these angles is determined by its slope, or the inverse of its slope.  In modern Western Mathematics,  it would be customary to specify either angle by its slope, but the discussions of pyramids that one finds in the Egyptian Mathematical Papyri suggest that the Egyptian architect would have specified an angle by the inverse of its slope. For the slant-angle of the faces of a pyramid, the inverse-slope is referred to as the "seked" of the pyramid in the Rhind papyrus. \n\nhttp://www.math.washington.edu/~greenber/slope.html

i'm not the only one then, i wasn't sure whether to post the same question or not because of the critsism i would get from the foolish people who believe in nothing apart from themselve and the things that they see, and yet they belive in air but they can't see it, it amazes me how limited their minds are are.   anyways, to answer your question yes i have noticed it, i have been studying mostly the egyption, mayan and other prophecies from past individuals whos work has been altogether forgotten but from about 100 people on the planet from last headcount.  according to the mayan prophecies and this individuals prophecies ( i shall leave him nameless for now) there is to be a great achievement which has two faces, one face sees this achievement as a corruption of our ability to create where as the other sees it as a miricle, the first stepping stone to "higher ascention" i belive he wrote.  although with all the mayan texts side by side can you see that they only just touch upon the subject whereas the individual talks about it in great detail but not in any detail if you know what i mean.  for example, "for one of their own who would take so long to emerge has done so in so little time"  i have my opinions on what it may be refering to but i'm not so sure as to come to an assumption on what it actually is

The All Seeing Eye  is a Masonic symbol. \n\nMany of the Founders, and almost all the most important ones including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were members of the Masonic Brotherhood.\n\nThe Eye reminds a brother Mason that his words and deeds are being judged by the Supreme Architect of the Universe.

Excellent question. I have often thought about this before. They say that Egyptians never came to the new world but I don't buy it. Pyramids, heiroglyphs, burials, tombs And they way they looked. Too much to be coincidence. National geographic has a special called the curse of the cocaine mummies. They found the coca plant in Egyptian mummies which proves that they had trade.

As far as I know, the pyramid with the (to name it correctly) "All Seeing Eye" in a triangle has nothing to do with the Austrian Illuminati of Adam Weishaupt. \nThis is a symbol of the English Freemasonry to which famous people such as Benjamin Franklin and George Washington belonged. The All Seeing Eye in a triangle is a pictorial representation of God the Freemasons name between themselves the "Great Architect of the Universe". \nThat's why this pyramyd and the All Seeing Eye are not at all in contradiction with the motto "In God We Trust", quite on the contrary. Believing in God is one of the conditions of entering the universal Freemasonery as member. \nHowever, it exists a minority of foreign Masonic lodges inspired by French revolutionarian leftist ideology whose admission in it require to be atheist, and even anti-clerical. Such is the case of the French Grand Orient De France (GODF), Grand Loge de France and Loge Opera. These last atheist lodges (which counts altogether about 80,000 to 130,000 members) and the official speculative Freemasonery of English origin, which count several millions members troughout the world, do not entertain good relationship with each other. Masonic lodges and Masonic membership are forbiden in some countries ruled by authoritarian regimes.\n\n\nWhat's follows are excerpts from wikipedia.org. \n\nThe first Grand Lodge in Freemasonry was founded in 1717 when four existing Lodges met at the Goose & Gridiron Alehouse in London to form the governing body.\n\nGenerally to be a regular Freemason, one must:\n\nBe a man who comes of his own free will. \nTraditionally Freemasons do not actively recruit new members. \nBelieve in a Supreme Being, or, in a few jurisdictions, a Creative Principle. \nBe at least the minimum age (18–25 years depending on the jurisdiction, but commonly 21). \nBe of sound mind, body and of good morals, and of good repute. \nBe free (or "born free", i.e. not born a slave or bondsman). \nHave one or two references from current Masons (depending on jurisdiction). \n\nFreemasons collect money internally which is attributed to charitable purposes. A number of structures exist within Freemasonry to disburse this money, a proportion of which goes to non-Masonic charities either locally or on a provincial or national basis.\n\nMasonic charities include:\n\nHomes which provide sheltered housing or nursing care. \nEducation with both educational grants[29] or residential education which are open to all and not limited to the families of Freemasons. \nMedical assistance.\n\nA great schism in Freemasonry did occur, however, in the years following 1877, when the Grand Orient de France (GOdF) started accepting atheists unreservedly. While the issue of atheism is probably the greatest single factor in the split with the GOdF, the English also point to the French recognition of women's Masonry and co-Masonry, as well as the tendency of French Masons to be more willing to discuss religion and politics in Lodge. While the French curtail such discussion, they do not ban it as outright as do the English. The schism between the two branches has occasionally been breached for short periods of time, especially during the First World War when American Masons overseas wanted to be able to visit French Lodges.\n\nConcerning religious requirements, the oldest constitution found in Freemasonry — that of Anderson, 1723 — says that a Mason "will never be a stupid Atheist nor an irreligious Libertine" if he "rightly understands the Art". The only religious requirement was "that Religion in which all Men agree, leaving their particular Opinions to themselves". Masons debate as to whether "stupid" and "irreligious" are meant as necessary, or as accidental, modifiers of "atheist" and "libertine". It is possible the ambiguity is intentional.\n\nPerhaps influenced by the assertion of

Pyramids in Egypt served as tombs, initially only for kings and close members of the royal family, but eventually came to be used (in much smaller forms) by the general populace.\n\nThe pyramid is thought to have developed out of the mastaba tomb. Mastaba is an Arabic word, meaning bench, which was applied to the flat-topped, slope sided superstructures of tombs. The pyramid is also thought to be associated with solar worship and the "ben-ben" stone which played a major role in sun worship and was vaguely pyramid shaped.\n\nIn the 3rd Dynasty, several mastabas were stacked forming the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. By the 4th Dynasty in the reign of Snefru attempts at building a true pyramid were underway. The pyramids of the 4th and 5th Dynasties, including those at Giza, essentially reflect the further refinement of the pyramid, the chambers within it, and the associated temple complexes. Eventually the standard style was an orientation of east to west (significant in Egyptian religion), with a pyramid temple, located directly on the east side of the pyramid, and a causeway leading to the "valley temple" located near the Nile at the edge of the cultivation.\nWhile it is accepted by reputable Egyptologists that pyramids served as burials for kings, the exact details of the theology behind them remains unclear. One idea, popularized I believe by Dr. Mark Lehner, one of the foremost experts on Egyptian pyramids, is that pyramids served as "resurrection machines" providing all the necessary means for eternal life with the gods for the dead king.\nIn the late 5th Dynasty in the Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara, we have the first appearance of formal texts within the pyramid itself - the appropriately-named Pyramid Texts. These texts are somewhat esoteric and are essentially a collection of spells, stories, and guides relating to the Underworld. Initially these texts were limited to royalty. In succeeding pyramids, elements of the Pyramid Texts were included in the "Coffin Texts" of the First Intermediate and Middle Kingdom and in the "Book of the Dead" of the New Kingdom - texts available to a broad spectrum of society.\n\nPyramid construction continued in the Middle Kingdom - again limited to royalty, but not on the grand scale of the Old Kingdom. The last known royal pyramids located in Egypt are that of King Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom (ca. 1550 BCE) and the pyramid-cenotaph constructed for his grandmother, Queen Tetisheri. Both are located at Abydos.\n\nIn the New Kingdom, pyramids came to be part of tombs for reasonably wealthy private individuals - frequently added to the exterior portico area of rock-cut cliff tombs or appearing as architectural elements of brick constructed tombs in varous parts of Egypt.\n\nThe Napatan and Meroitic kingdoms in Nubia (modern Sudan) also used the pyramid for royal burials at sites such as El-Kurru and Nuri. While the Napatan kings ruled Egypt for a time during the 25th Dynasty and were buried in pyramids, those pyramids were located in Nubia proper.\n\nPyramid construction relied on highly skilled teams of workmen who were housed nearby the pyramid fields - in the Old Kingdom located in the general vicinity of the ancient capital Memphis at sites now knows as Giza, Saqqara, Meidum, and Dashur. A few pyramids in the Middle Kingdom were located near the Fayum, roughly Middle Egypt.\nIn addition to the full-time workmen, there was likely a seasonal labor requirement asked of the lower classes of Egyptian society - a sort of taxation, often referred to by the French term "corvee" labor. This is distinct from slavery. While the ancient Greek historian Herodotus (writing over a thousand years after the construction of the pyramids at Giza) reported that he was told the pyramids at Giza were constructed by slaves, Herodotus was wrong about any number of things in his reports and may not even have visited Egypt in perso

No. Humans built the pyramids. The building of the pyramids was recorded and is not a mystery. People who say that aliens did it are denying humankind of some of their greatest achievements. We're a brilliant species, why not be proud of it?

Howdy! :)\n\nFirstly, I'd like to say that I've never heard of the man-made stones "theory" before -- & I've read a good bit on the subject, as well as ancient history in general, as well as watched & listened to many TV & radio documentaries that dealt with the subject, as well as ancient history in general!\n\nActually, the ancient Egyptians employed different kinds of stone in building at least the Great Pyramid. They used limestone & 2 varieties of granite. There are several varieties, quite a few being the most durable on the planet. Rose stones & blue stones, that were used to build Stonehenge, are 2 of the varieties that come to mind.\n\nAs for method, a number have been suggested, none of which involving the wheel, because archaeologists & scientists etc. keep insisting that the ancient Egyptians didn't have them, have access to them or separately invent them. But I beg to differ. There was a long history of interaction between the various peoples of the region & the ancient Egyptians, even if they didn't separately invent the wheel, did have access to & could have easily bought or traded them from the other cultures with wheels that they regularly interacted with.\n\nWhat I'm pretty certain of is that they used gravity as an easy & reliable means of power. Meaning: imagine a portable forklift. If you're not familiar with this object, it's basically a rectangle of metal, with a tray or sheet of metal at the bottom attached to two wheels. What I'm convinced they did is that they used something similar: basically 2 boards of wood (they did have tables & so did have boards of wood & knew how to cut them from the tree or at least buy them!) one of which attached to 2 wheels (or at least a log) with one of them "sitting"/attached to the bottom one with the wheels vertically & at an angle. This one is further connected with X # of sticks/logs or a triangular board of wood angled down, this being attached to a wheel (or at least a log). When the stone is manoeuvred onto the bottom board, gravity pulls it down through the angled sticks/logs (had they not been there, gravity would've simply pulled the stone to the ground, making the board with the wheels upright, albeit at an angle, & the one the stone was leaning on on the ground!). Gravity is such a great force, it is more force than is necessary to move the stone. So there is plenty of momentum. & even if the sand provided a great amount of friction (regardless whether it was dry or wet), gravity, combined with human labour is more than enough to manoeuvre the stones from point A to point B.\n\nCreating ramps & using sand to support the stones is quite sufficient & effective to manoeuvre the stones to higher levels.\n\nEven if the scientific community could conclusively prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the ancient Egyptians did not have wheels or access to them, the website I provided demonstrates an alternative means to manoeuvring large & heavy stones using building principles that are as old as building itself -- even if earlier in history people didn't understand & couldn't quantify & explain these principles & why they worked. The important thing was & still is that the principles work & that they are effective.\n\nWhat you will want to reflect on is this:\n\nThe ancient Egyptians had very simple tools, such as a level (used to determine the angle of a wall & whether or not it is straight) & thread or rope. & yet, they achieved unbelievable accuracy. In fact, & I wish I could remember where I read this or the temple in question, I once read of a temple in the Nile river. It was unique because it was built in such a way so as to glorify 2 events in the pharaoh's life: his birthdate & that of his son. The temple's unique qualities were that on those 2 days, at sunrise & sunset, the sun lined up with the pharaoh's throne & illuminate it in such a way as to give the illusion that he&#39

OK, you discovered that did you? The next step is for you to notice that the pyramids along the Nile are laid out to mimic the shape of the constellation Orion. I'll wait, go Google that to check. \n\nWhen you are convinced of that, then you must have two more bits of information. Your brain ready for this? \n\nLife on the Nile depended upon the annual flooding to bring life-giving water to the fields. No flooding, not much crops, starvation. Remember Pharaoh's dreams about the fat cows and the lean cows? Right. \n\nPriests need to be able to predict things for their people. It gives people reasons to support their priests. There really are not much as what you can call seasons so near the equator. One thing did show when the flood SHOULD be coming (in otherwords, when it would be raining down south in the mountains of the headwaters of the Nile) and that was when the constellation of Orion, or more properly, the brightest star in the sky (besides the sun) Sirius would rise just a few moments before the sun - the helical rising of Sirius.\n\nThere is a shaft, often called an "air shaft" that goes down the Great Pyramid at Giza, very strictly aligned. When astronomers were able to do computer modeling to take into consideration the procession of the equinoxes and the apparent wobble of the earth on its axis, they were astonished to find out that this air shaft aligned to when Sirius would rise with the Sun. \n\nSirius, as you probably have seen used as the logo for Sirius satellite radio, is called "The Dog Star." \n\nHow does that all go together? And why am I telling you this? One more thing and I will let you go look some more.\n\nLook up the Dogon people of Africa. Remember now that Egypt is on the African continent. They have a story of how they got here (earth). They claim they got here on ships with Gods from another place. That place is Sirius. The gods, they say, had fish tails - looks a lot like the great God Dagon over in the Middle East, Philistines worshipped Him - and at least one of the gods died on the journey. \n\nBut god and dog are English words. None of this is real. This is all just fancy word-play made up to confuse you. Nobody believes this. This is not a story my people tell; this is just something I tell you who read this right now. \n\nDrab as a fool, aloof as a bard!

Yes it's supposed to be beyond Pluto. It's said that for the different levels of the Great Pyramid of Giza that there is a planet that corresponds according to some old astronomical chart from around c.3000 b.c. and that there is still one level that has a planet that is still unaccounted for.

I love the Mummy movies. I always assumed that his organs had been removed but that the curse kept him semi-alive even without them. He needed to replace the organs by taking them from the tomb robbers. Seti I was the Pharaoh in this, and he gets a bad deal, imo. The book "The Search for Om Sety" is a very interesting read for anybody interested in Seti I and ancient Egypt.

There is a scene shortly after he grows up, where simba walks to the edge of a cliff and basically flops on the ground. When he does, it kicks up a cloud of dust that swirls around until it reachees the monkey (I think). In the swirling dust, it kind of swirls into a position that kind of looks like the letters SEX. I've seen it, and it's hard to tell whether it was a deliberate thing, or another animation cell used to simply get to the next one. I have never heard any explaination for it.
