2,5 years ago, the ancient Greeks listed the seven wonders of the world at that time. Today, only the pyramid, the first of the seven wonders, has survived the test of thousands of years. No wonder there is an Egyptian proverb that says, "Man is afraid of time, and time is afraid of pyramids."

The ancient Egyptians had the custom of building pyramids as tombs for kings and queens, so there are many pyramids in Egypt, which is known as the country of pyramids. Of course, the most magnificent one is the pyramid of khufu (also called the Great Pyramid) in Giza, which has become a symbol of Egyptian country and civilization. The Great Pyramid is always made up of about 2.3 million pieces of limestone and granite, without any adhesive material in the middle. And the stones are in perfect harmony with each other. Despite more than 4, years of wind and rain, even a sharp knife cannot be inserted between the stones. On average, there are 2 stones on each side. 5 tons, with the heaviest reaching more than 1 tons. With the labor force of the ancient Egyptians at that time, how did they mine huge stones and transport them here? How to build them up? Why resist the erosion of time until today? Moreover, the four sides at the bottom of the pyramid are almost opposite to Zhengnan, Zhengbei, Zhengdong and Zhengxi, and the error is less than one degree. How did the ancient Egyptians calculate this accurately?

For many years, the Great Pyramid has been a mystery that people have explored but can't confirm. Not knowing how to explain these phenomena, modern people have exhausted their imagination and inference ability. Some people say that the pyramids were built by aliens as a landing point for them to come to earth, while others say that pyramid of khufu was built by the missing ancestors of Atlantis.

In order to solve the mystery of the pyramids, people have never stopped trying to explore the secrets of the Great Pyramid. Unlike China's Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, which set up organs to deal with grave robbers, Egyptian pharaohs used spells to protect themselves. There is a chilling inscription on the pyramid of khufu: "Whoever disturbs the peace of Pharaoh, the wings of death will fall on his head." Moreover, the American Medical Monthly has also published a report, confirming that among 1 people who have entered the Great Pyramid, the probability of dying of cancer in the next 1 years is as high as 4%. However, this has not stopped people from exploring the mysteries deep in the Pyramid. The latest and most concerned action was the archaeological excavation process broadcast live by 142 countries around the world in 22, and micro-robots were also used. Ironically, however, people did not find the expected treasure, tomb or mummy. Behind the stone gate is another stone gate. Unsolved mysteries still haunt curious modern people. As long as the pyramids are still standing, people will probably continue to pursue them.

Although it is impossible to confirm how the magnificent pyramids were created, the existence of the pyramids can well explain the ancient Egyptians' views on life and death. The ancient Egyptians believed that this world was temporary, the afterlife was eternal, and death was the door to eternal life. But the premise is to properly declare their bodies.

The Sphinx, also a symbol of Egypt, is another attraction of Giza. The ancient Egyptians worshipped lions. They believed that lions were the embodiment of strength. The lion's body and Pharaoh's head are symbols of wisdom and strength. At the same time, this strange image is in line with the ancient Egyptians' view that Pharaoh is both a god and a man.

The secret of the Great Pyramid is still unsolved, and what attracts people is not only the Pyramid or the Sphinx? The whole civilization of Egypt and everything in the desert are fascinating. No matter whether the mystery of the pyramids is uncovered or not, people will yearn to go to the west bank of the Nile to experience the light that the pyramids shed on the earth for themselves. After all, it was also the light that was also shed on the earth four thousand years ago.

Geography:

There are 17 existing pyramids in Egypt, mainly located in the Giza Plateau near Cairo, the capital of Egypt. There are three large pyramids in this area, namely pyramid of khufu (also called the Great Pyramid), Kafra Pyramid and Monkara Pyramid, among which pyramid of khufu is the most famous, which is the largest, best preserved and the highest architectural achievement among the pyramids in Giza.

Historical overview:

The Egyptian pyramids are tombs where the ancient Egyptians buried their kings and queens. The history of the ancient Egyptians building pyramids lasted from the third dynasty to the thirteenth dynasty (2686-2181 BC), with a history of more than 4,6 years. The heyday appeared during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu and the two generations of monarchs Cabra and Menkaure, who all chose the border between the desert and oasis in Giza to build their pyramids and other ancillary buildings. In the 5th century BC, Herodotus, a famous ancient Greek historian, wrote down the earliest words about pyramids when he traveled to Egypt. The research on pyramids in modern times began with the data investigation after Napoleon invaded Egypt.

The three most famous pyramids and their ancillary buildings:

pyramid of Khufu: The largest pyramid in Egypt, usually called the "Great Pyramid", was built for him by the successor of Pharaoh Khufu (reigned from 2543 to 252). The Great Pyramid was built about 2,57 years ago, and it took 1, laborers and slaves to complete it in 2 years. The original height of the Great Pyramid was 146.6 meters. After thousands of years of weathering, it is now 138 meters high. Before the completion of the 32-meter Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1889, it was the tallest building in the world. There are many noble flat-topped stone tombs neatly arranged around the Great Pyramid, and the stars hold the moon to set off the grandeur and majesty of the Great Pyramid.

Kafra Pyramid and the Sphinx: Kafra Pyramid is the second pyramid built in Giza after pyramid of khufu, and its scale is completely comparable to that of pyramid of khufu, but its internal structure is relatively simple. The famous Sphinx guards in front of the pyramid of Kafra. This is a giant stone statue with a lion's body and the head of King Cabra. There were many sphinxes in ancient Egypt, symbolizing the concept that Pharaoh was both a god and a man. The largest one in Giza was 73 meters long and 21 meters high.

Monkara Pyramid: Monkara Pyramid is the successor pyramid of Calaf, but its scale and architectural art are far lower than the previous two pyramids.

Ground Penetrating Radar Discovered pyramid of khufu's "Secret Corridor"

pyramid of khufu, Egypt, is one of the "Seven Wonders of the World" and is said to be the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu. However, so far, the mummy remains of Pharaoh Khufu (also known as King Kihops) have never been found. Some archaeologists suspect that Khufu's mummy may have been stolen by ancient grave robbers.

It is understood that there are currently three known rooms in pyramid of khufu. "The King's Room"-There is a huge granite sarcophagus in it, which is thought to be the burial place of Khufu's mummy. But in fact, it's empty now. Under the "king's room", there is a slightly smaller tomb, which is called the "queen's room", although scientists tend to think that it is not arranged for the queen. In addition, there is a small basement that has never been used under the pyramid.

However, a few days ago, two amateur French Egyptologists, after years of on-the-spot investigation, put forward a ground-breaking new view: there is another unknown "mysterious tomb" under the "Queen's Room" in pyramid of khufu, which may be the final burial place of Pharaoh Khufu! Now, they have detected a secret corridor leading to the secret room through ground penetrating radar!

Khufu built three tombs for himself? One is unfinished, and the other is cracked

As to how pyramid of khufu was built, the most popular theory holds that all the internal structures of the pyramids were designed in advance, and the workers built them according to the design drawings. However, Dominion and Fordhat believe that the design ideas have changed repeatedly during the construction of the pyramids. When the ancient Egyptian architects found that the original "King's Room" might not be able to bear the weight of the boulder above, they began to return to the drawings.

It is understood that the roof of the "King's Room" is fixed by several granite Liang Shi, each weighing 5 tons, which divides the roof into four small spaces. Jeffrey Spencer, deputy director of the Ancient Egypt and Sudan Museum of the British Museum, said: "This design is to spread the weight of the boulder in the center of the pyramid to the side." However, it is obvious that cracks can be seen on these granite Liang Shi. Spencer explained that archaeologists usually think that these cracks were cracked in an earthquake long after the pyramids were built.

However, Domien doesn't think so. He believes that the cracks in the Liang Shi appeared when the pyramids were built, and the ancient Egyptian architects were well aware of this. Dominion's evidence is that in some cracks, some 45-year-old plaster was smeared. Dominion believes that this is the evidence that ancient Egyptian architects tried to mend and strengthen the roof.

Domien wrote in his new book "The Tomb of hops", "All the problems in pyramid of khufu can be summed up in the following theory: Khufu built three tombs for himself that year, and the first tomb (the Queen's Room) was not completed; The second tomb (undiscovered secret room) can be put into use; There was a crack in the third tomb (the king's room). Therefore, Khufu was finally buried in the second tomb. " Dominion said that he thought that the "Queen's Room" was not the cause of Khufu's tomb, because its entrance was too narrow to be carried into Khufu's big sarcophagus.

the "mysterious tomb" is in the "heart" of the whole pyramid?

jean pierre Coty Ghianni, a famous ancient Egyptian scientist of the French Oriental Archaeological Association in Cairo, Egypt, was deeply impressed by the pyramid research of Domien and Fordhat from the beginning.

According to Coty Ghianni, he was interested in their research because he provided their radar detection data to a French ground radar data expert for analysis, and the expert's explanation confirmed their guesses. Coty Ghianni said, "This expert works for a big company. One of the projects of this company is to design the track line for the future special express train from Paris to Strasbourg. If this expert says it is safe to lay the track here, it is because he found that there is no hole under the ground. I don't think he can make mistakes, otherwise there will be a big car accident in the future. "

Coty Ghianni said that the second reason that interested him was that the location of the "mysterious tomb" imagined by two amateur archaeologists was just west of the Queen's Room, which was structurally the "heart of the whole pyramid", so it was probably the symbolic final resting place of Pharaoh Khufu.

The latest discovery of Egyptian archaeology: the truth about the death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun

For decades, after all kinds of movies and novels, the "Pharaoh's curse" became more and more fantastic, which not only deterred grave robbers, but also worried many archaeologists and tourists. Recently, Egyptian archaeologists, unafraid of the threat of incantations, conducted a comprehensive examination of Pharaoh's body with high-tech equipment, thus uncovering the mystery of the death of this ancient Egyptian boy Pharaoh 3,3 years ago.

Tutankhamun was the 18th Pharaoh of Egypt, who ruled Egypt from 1336 to 1327 BC. Tutankhamun is not the most outstanding Pharaoh in the history of ancient Egypt, but he is the most famous Egyptian Pharaoh today. Since 1922, when Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by British archaeologists howard carter and Count Carnavon, the dazzling funerary objects in the tomb, the world-famous Jin Mianju and the curses of the Pharaoh that make people feel a little creepy have all aroused great interest of the world, but people are most concerned about the young Pharaoh himself. 19-year-old Tutankhamun suddenly died mysteriously. He died prematurely, was buried in a hurry, and was injured in the back of his head ... People believe that there must be some big secret behind his untimely death ...

The young Tutankhamun died of murder?

The mystery of the young king's accidental death has caused a burst of doubts and induced modern explorers to do their best to break through the fog of history, travel through time and space and touch the ancient and mysterious ancient Egyptian world.

According to scattered historical records handed down, Tutankhamun's father Akhenaten was a famous "pagan" king in ancient Egypt, and tried his best to carry out "reform" to change ancient Egypt from polytheism to monotheism. His practice was controversial and jealous at that time, and his son Tutankhamun was likely to get into trouble.

Judging from the situation in Tutankhamun's tomb, his death was very sudden-the tomb was narrow and small, as if he had been buried in a hurry before it was repaired. At first glance, it seems that it is not for the royal family, and the decoration is also very sloppy. Many pigments are splashed on the murals on the walls of the tomb, and no one cleans them. However, some buried antiques that attract the attention of the world are not his own daily necessities, because archaeological findings show that these antiques are engraved with other people's names, and Tutankhamun's name was temporarily added after the original name was erased. The process of making mummies is not to slowly soak the body with antiseptic spices like other pharaohs, but to pour barrels of antiseptic spices on the mummies.

In p>1968, after being allowed to X-ray the mummy, researchers at the University of Liverpool in England found a displaced bone in the brain cavity of the deceased, and a shadow resembling a blood clot in the back of the head. Dr. Harrison of the research team said: "There is nothing unusual about the edge of this shadow, but it may actually be caused by an intra-meningeal hemorrhage in this area. This internal bleeding is probably the result of a blow to the back of the head. Conversely, this blow is most likely the cause of death, which means that Tutankhamun is likely to die in a murder. "

Three suspects

When clues gradually emerged from the sinking of history, all kinds of doubts shrouded in this tragic story flashed mysteriously.

who is the murderer of the king? What a short and extraordinary life has the flesh and blood that once lived like us? What traces did this political conspiracy leave in history? Where does the fate of the dynasty end up?

Bob buhrer, who plays the dual role of a historian and a detective, inadvertently becomes an emissary of history. Under his careful integration, scattered cultural relics, files, tombs and ancient mummies tell a true and extremely complicated story, which makes people truly smell the bloody battle of kingship at that time.

3 years ago, the Tutankhamun era in Egypt was an extremely turbulent era in the history of ancient Egypt. The country is divided, and the inherent social order has been further undermined by religious and political turmoil, and greedy careerists in the DPRK have conspired with each other. At the same time, the young king and his beloved wife could not get an heir to the throne. All these unstable factors make Egypt like a powder keg, which is explosive. The devil finally raised his arms to the young king Tutankhamun-the country changed hands. Buhrer also listed three people who are most likely to be murderers.

Suspect 1: the army commander, Horan Herb

Horan Herb often taught Tutankhamun to hunt and drive chariots, which provided ample opportunities for planning an accident. If Tutankhamun really died on the road, the body might have rotted before Horan Herb brought it back. this
