Facts about Pyramids of Giza
In this post I am going to tell you top 5 facts about pyramids of giza.
These pyramids of Giza are the most famous artifacts of Egypt. These pyramids
are located in Greater Cairo, Middle Egypt. They were built about 4000 years
ago. The length of the bottom of the pyramid is about 230.34 meters and the
height was about 146.7 meters, due to erosion it has now decreased to 138.8
meters. There are many secrets in these pyramids, which have not been known
till date. But today we are going to explore top 5 secrets or facts about
pyramids of giza.
Top 5 Facts about Pyramids of Giza
1. How were the pyramids of giza built ?
There are many facts about pyramids of giza which are very
mysterious. One of them is how were the pyramids of giza built ? Basically How
their surfaces and corners are perfectly aligned. According to scientists, the
surfaces of pyramids are made of such stones which have more quantity of
limestone.
The weight of every single stone in the pyramid ranges from about 2000 kg to 70000 kg and more than 23
lakh stones have been used to build these pyramids. But the thing to think
about is that in earlier times man was not so developed that he could keep such
huge and heavy stones from different places to one place. Apparently, to build
the pyramid, the workers would have to collect stones at the place where the
pyramids would be built. (Remember that wheels were not even invented at that
time.)
However, even modern cranes of today do not lift more than 25000 kg . If we assume
that with the help of animals or something else, they must have brought stones
in some way, Even then it is impossible to put such weight stones in the shape
of a pyramid like this. That is why some scientists and explorers believe that
it is the work of some other civilization who were more developed than the
humans of this time. Yes, you are thinking right, I am talking about aliens.
But still most people clearly deny this.
In 1880, a french material scientist ‘Joseph
Davidovich’ stated that the stones used in making the pyramids were made of
limestone, sandstone, clay and water. He also said that instead of bringing the
stones from elsewhere, they were made in wooden molds right there.
| Later, another material scientist did further research on this, and with
some strong facts he proved Joseph Davidovich's claim to be true. It also
said that only those stones were made into molds which are on the outer and
upper surface of the pyramids.
Still, no one knows what the reality is. (Remember
that the stones that were used to make the pyramids are not found from anywhere
else.)
This
was the one from 5 facts about pyramids of giza in which the mystery is still
alive.
2. Alignment of Pyramids of Giza with Stars
Along with being famous, many mysteries are hidden inside pyramids of giza.
One of them is alignment of these pyramids with stars. At night, the three
peaks of these three pyramids of giza point towards the three stars of the sky.
In other words Pyramids are in alignment with that three stars. These three
stars belongs to same constellation whose name is ‘Orion Belt’ | Looking at
this, many theorists and explorers believe that these pyramids were built by
aliens who came from those three stars and they made it to show their presence
on earth.
This makes it one of the most mysterious fact from various facts about
pyramids of giza. By the way, this alignment of pyramids with stars is
known by ‘The Orion Correlation Theory’ which was first introduced by Robert
Bauval in 1983.
A Professor of Anatomy ‘Antony Farrell', based on his experiments, stated
that when these pyramids were built, they did not align perfectly with the
stars of the Orion Belt constellation. Even today, there is a gap of about 15
to 16 degrees between the alignment of these stars and the pyramids We do not
know this because of the great distance from the stars.

3. Why were Pyramids of Giza Built ?
This one is the most mysterious fact from various facts about pyramids
of giza. No one has the right answer to explain why pyramids were built.
Nevertheless, some believe that it was built as a mausoleum (tomb) for the
kings and queens of the time.
Three chambers have been discovered so far in the pyramid. The Kings
Chamber is at the top, followed by the Queen's Chamber and finally the Base
Chamber. But the shocking thing is that till date no corpse (mummi) has been
found from any chamber. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to consider it a
tomb.
The second theory states that these pyramids are a type of power house that
was built to generate electricity. However, we know that electricity was
discovered in the 20th
century. But despite this, evidence suggested that these pyramids would have
been built only for the production of electricity.
Inside the pyramid, granite material was found in the tunnels. Research
showed that these materials ionized air. This means that the atoms present in
the air were broken into +ve and -ve charges and their chemical reaction could
produce electricity. So far, about 20 granite boxes have been found in the
pyramid weighing more than 1 lakh kg, which is much larger than a coffin.
Therefore some scientists consider it to be a capacitor that stores charges.
Some external power source is required to run such a power plant. This is
probably why it was built over the Nile River, which acts as a power source for
it. But due to the falling water level, the river now passes through its banks.
All these reasons force scientists to consider it as a power house
The fact that pyramids were made to produce electricity makes it most
mysterious fact from many different facts about pyramids of giza.
4. Alignment of four faces of Pyramids of Giza with four Directions
Apart from all there facts about pyramids of giza, there are many more secrets
of pyramids. Like, four faces of the pyramids of giza are in perfect
alignment with the four directions (East, West, North, South) and it would be
very difficult to do this 4000 years ago. So how did they do that.
However, an engineer working on the pyramids while answering this said that
the people who built the pyramid would have used the Indian Circle Method to do
so.
Basically, Indian Circle Method is a method used to determine the direction
(specially east and west) with the help of simple set of equipment.
5. Temperature inside the Pyramids remains at 20 Degree Celsius
The atmosphere outside the pyramids is very hot. Despite this, the
temperature inside the pyramid is always constant at around 20 degree celsius. Nobody knows its true answer till date.
Some Extra Facts about Pyramids of Giza
The walls of these pyramids have artifacts like spaceships and aliens that
make us think deep about these pyramids of Giza.
There is an artwork on the pyramid wall which is like a modern bulb which
is another proof of showing these pyramids as a power house.
These are some mysterious facts about pyramids of giza but this is
not done. There are many more facts about pyramids of giza which are
also full of mystery.
