Slide 7

The Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Great Pyramid, was built by Pharaoh Khufu, son of Sneferu. Herodotus in his works called him Cheops, and this pharaoh ruled for about 23 years. Even in ancient times, the pyramid struck with its grandiose size and rightfully turned out to be among the Seven Wonders of the World. For its construction, 2,300,000 limestone blocks with an average weight of 2.5 tons each were used, which amounted to 210 rows. The average block height was about 50 cm, but there were blocks up to 150 cm high. Oddly enough, they laid out the upper part of the pyramid.

Slide 8

Narrow (20 × 20 cm) channels led from the northern and southern walls of the burial chamber to the surface of the pyramid, not quite accurately called "ventilation tunnels". There were long discussions about their purpose, and the latest research by specialists from the German Archaeological Institute showed that the channels have purely ritual functions: they help the pharaoh's soul get to heaven in the shortest way. A similar ritual role was played by three chambers located vertically one above the other (underground, queen's chamber and pharaoh's chamber); it was previously believed that they arose due to changes in the architectural design - however, this hypothesis has not been confirmed.

Slide 9

At the northern side of the pyramid there are two boat-shaped recesses where the pharaoh's boats stood, and three additional pyramids. The southern one was the burial place of Queen Henutsen, the daughter of Snefru and the blood sister of Khufu, Meritetis was buried in the middle one, and the third was built in honor of the mother of the pharaoh Queen Hetepheres, whose shaft tomb was discovered at a distance of several tens of meters from here by members of the expedition of Harvard University and the Boston Museum led by George A Reisner in 1925. Funeral items were found in the tomb, now exhibited in the Cairo Museum.

slide 12

The pyramid of Khafre, the fourth pharaoh of the IV dynasty, known from Greek sources under the name of Khafre, is the second largest pyramid, slightly inferior in size to the pyramid of Khufu. However, built on a more elevated site and having more steeply sloping sides, it gives the impression of being the tallest of the pyramids of Giza. Of the scientists of our time, it was discovered in 1818 by Giovanni Battista Belzoni, but it had already been plundered in ancient times and in the 13th century. Of all the pyramids, only it has a white limestone lining, and even then at the very top.

slide 13

There are two entrances on the north side: the first one is located at a height of 10 m, the other entrance is located at ground level, and current visitors enter the pyramid through it. The burial chamber contains a large granite sarcophagus and its lid. Apart from the inscription made by Belzoni and dated March 2, 1818, the date of its discovery, there are no other decorations on objects in the burial chamber.

Slide 14

slide 15

The word "sphinx" comes from the Egyptian expression "shesep ankh", which means "living idol", and this is how the sculpture of a deity with the body of a lion, the head of a person or an animal is called. The Sphinx, a statue 57 m long and 20 m high, represents the image of the pharaoh, which combines the power of man, god and lion. The Sphinx is close to the processional path and the lower temple of Khafre, the greatest statue builder of the Pyramid Age, who erected the Sphinx as part of his burial complex. The statue was cut directly from the limestone that forms the Giza Plateau, part of the Mokatam Formation, which was formed from marine sediments when northeast Africa was under water during the Eocene period.

slide 16

The Great Sphinx is a symbol of Egypt, ancient and modern. Moreover, it is an image of history that has inspired the imaginations of poets and scholars, adventurers and tourists for centuries. However, in last years the sphinx began to threaten humanity with the possibility of its destruction. Twice during the last decade stones fell from him: in 1981, the lining from the left hind leg flew off, and in 1988 he lost a large piece of his right forearm. While experts are looking for a way out, the surface of the sphinx peels off and crumbles.

PYRAMID OF DJOSER
TETI'S PYRAMID
UNAS PYRAMID
PYRAMID OF PEPI I
PYRAMID OF PEPI II

Slide 18

According to legend, the step pyramid was built for Horus Netherikhet, better known as Djoser, the first ruler of the III dynasty. The construction of the structure was led by the architect Imhotep. The pyramid dominates all the surroundings and is located in the central zone of Saqqara. The layout of the Djoser Pyramid, which originally had a height of about 60 m (now 58.7 m), was oriented in the east-west direction. At the entrance to the pyramid on the north side, the first known temple in history was built, where the cult of the deceased pharaoh was confessed, and around the pyramid there were rooms associated with the rituals of celebrating heb-sed.

Slide 19

Despite numerous precautions, the tomb of Djoser was defiled in ancient times, apparently in the first period of the interregnum. The Saisian tombs of Saqqara, with their extremely deep wells, were most likely built under the influence of the Djoser Pyramid monuments.

slide 21

The pyramid of Teti, the first pharaoh from the 4th dynasty, was badly damaged by masons, who removed not only its limestone lining and granite blocks from the nearby mortuary temple, but also the slabs from which the body of the pyramid was built.

slide 22

The pyramid of Unas, the last pharaoh of the 5th dynasty, is almost completely destroyed, all of its lining has disappeared, except for a few limestone slabs on the southern side, which were returned to their places during the restoration and on which there was a large hieroglyphic inscription indicating that Hemwaset, the high priest the god Ptah in Memphis, restored the pyramid at the direction of his father Ramesses II and returned the name of Unas to it.

slide 23

slide 24

Pepi I, the second ruler of the VI dynasty, succeeded his father Teti. He built a beautiful pyramid with a height of about 52 m, which was called "Mennefer", which means "steady and perfect" in translation. Distorted over time, this word turned into "Memphis", and this is how the capital of the Old Kingdom is now called.

Slide 25

In ancient times it was known as "Inebhej" or "White Wall". Most likely, it referred to a large dam built in this place of the river, or to the white color of the Tura limestone from which the city walls were built.
Almost destroyed during numerous raids, this pyramid is of great interest due to the inscriptions on the walls of the burial chambers.

slide 26

The pyramid of Pepi II, the son of Merenre, was built strictly to the north of the pyramid of his father and is the best preserved among the structures of this zone. To the east of the Pyramid of Pepi II, explored by Gustave Géquier, is a satellite pyramid and a remarkable mortuary temple, which is connected by a processional path to the temple in the valley.

Slide 27

NORTH PYRAMID OF SNOFRU
SOUTHERN PYRAMID OF SNOFRU

Slide 28

The Northern Pyramid of Snefru, also known as the "Red" Pyramid, owes this to the color of the limestone from which it is built. Its ribs are inclined at an angle of 43°22", which fully corresponds to the shape of the upper part of the "curved" pyramid."
The "Red" pyramid, originally lined with white Turkish limestone slabs, due to which in ancient times it was called the "shining pyramid", remains the second largest after the pyramid of Khufu (Cheops).

Slide 29

The Southern Pyramid turned out to be older than the Northern Pyramid and the first not stepped, but real. The project was truly great, and if it had ended according to plan, the largest pyramid would have been erected in Egypt.
However, during construction, when the pyramid rose to two thirds of the planned height, the architects suddenly decided to change the angle of the faces by almost 10 °, that is, from 54 ° 27 "44" "to 43 ° 22". Naturally, the total height of the pyramid decreased by 23.5 meters. Nevertheless, the “curved” pyramid remains to this day the fourth largest, yielding to the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and the “red” pyramid.

slide 30

The upper part of the pyramid has, as it were, its inverted twin, and together they formed, as it were, an octahedral crystal. Crystals of this type are called in crystallography twins, or bipyramids. The angle between the faces in the "crystal" of the composite Sneferu pyramid is 43º19´ + 43º19´ = 86º38´. The slope angle of the faces in the bipyramid is equal to the angle of the water molecule.

Slide 31

The upper and lower vertices of the crystal correspond to the arrangement of hydrogen atoms H in the water molecule, and the middle of the base side corresponds to the oxygen atom O. Snefru's pyramid has two chambers, and they are arranged very strangely. The first of them is located at the level of the base of the pyramid, at the top of the lower part of the crystal at a depth of about 25 m. This arrangement of the chambers clearly indicates their connection with the energy of the crystal itself and with the entire pyramid as a whole. The shape of the pyramids is associated with the geometry of the Egyptian triangular standards, and hence with the "golden section". The properties of pyramids are based on their crystal structure and crystal-like form, as well as the energy that is present in crystals.

slide 32

For many millennia, the ancient archives have been hiding from everyone the names of the architects of the outstanding pyramidal complexes located all over the Earth. Some designed and built stepped pyramids, others - regular, with smooth edges, others - spiral cone-shaped, but they all had one characteristic detail: next to the pyramid, as a rule, there was a round or square pool filled with water. The heat capacity of stone and air is very different. The air warms up quickly under the rays of the sun and quickly cools after it sets. But the stone heats up slowly and cools down just as slowly. So the outer stones under the sun heat up, but the mass of stones inside the heap has a lower temperature. When hot air currents, which always carry water vapor, penetrate the stone pile and come into contact with the surface of cold stones, the vapor condenses. This is how water drops form. They flow down, forming streams.

Slide 33

Now it is not difficult to guess that the pyramids had pools of water for a reason. One of the many functions was the same as the stone piles: they also had the ability to condense water from the air. And many pyramids were probably specifically designed just for this purpose. Water is life! The real value of it is known to those who always feel its lack. This also applied to the Egyptians living on the eastern border of the Sahara. The pyramids gave water, the pools were filled with life-giving liquid, groundwater near the pyramids stood close to the surface, They seemed to be attracted to the pyramids. And no wonder: after all, the shape of a pyramid is a giant water molecule that attracts other water molecules not only from the air, but also from the ground.

slide 34

The fact that the Great Pyramids hide astronomical knowledge in themselves was hinted as early as the 6th century BC. no less great Pythagoras. The lion was considered sacred because it represented the sun incarnate. But the big Sphinx with its figure and paws also looks like a lion. If the lion in the era of Leo on the day of the vernal equinox was associated with the Sun in the constellation Leo, then the same honor can be awarded to the Sphinx. But if the Sphinx is the image of the Sun in the constellation Leo, then the pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure may well be "planets of the solar system."

Slide 35

The pyramids of Cheops and Khafre are approximately the same size. Just slightly different from each other two planets: Earth and Venus. The diameter of the Earth at the equator is only 360 km longer than the diameter of Venus. It turns out that the pyramid of Cheops corresponds to the planet Earth, and the pyramid of Khafre - Venus. The size of the pyramid of Menkaure is almost two times smaller than the size of the pyramids of Cheops and Khafre. Approximately in the same ratio are the diameters of the Earth and Mars, Venus and Mars. Hence, the pyramid of Menkaure corresponds to Mars. An additional confirmation of this can be the fact that since ancient times Mars has been called the "red planet" for its characteristic red brilliance. This feature of Mars is reflected in the lining of the pyramid of Menkaure: earlier it was covered with red granite slabs. Closest to the Sphinx is the pyramid of Cheops. Mercury is closest to the Sun in the solar system. But it is too small to compete with the pyramid of Cheops. The next planet in terms of distance is Venus. So we got a completely unexpected option: Venus corresponds to the pyramid of Cheops. Then the pyramid of Khafre corresponds to the Earth, and to the pyramid of Menkaure - Mars. All three planets belong to the same, terrestrial group.

slide 36

Why was Venus (the pyramid of Cheops) larger than the Earth (the pyramid of Khafre)? After all, modern data on the size of the planets indicate the opposite ... Maybe before Venus really was larger than the Earth? The question of a decrease or even an increase in the volumes of the planets over time is not fantastic. There are young and hot planets. Gradually cooling down, they constantly decrease in volume. The earth behaves more or less stable. No wonder there has been life on it for a long time. But you can't say the same about Venus. Maybe some 5 - 10 thousand years ago, its volume really exceeded the volume of the Earth. Each of the three Great Pyramids has companions - small pyramids. The pyramid of Cheops has the remains of three satellites and the foundation of the fourth one has also been discovered. At the pyramid of Khafre - one, at Mykerin - three. If the Great Pyramids could symbolize the planets Venus, Earth and Mars, then their pyramidal companions are satellites of these planets.

When referring to the Egyptian pyramids, as a rule, they mean the Great Pyramids located in Giza, not far from Cairo.

The largest of them is the pyramid of Cheops, the second pharaoh of the IV dynasty. This pyramid is still the largest architectural creation of human hands. At the base, it is a square with a side of 227.5 meters. The height during construction is 146.6 meters, and now the pyramid is 9 meters lower: the upper stones fell during earthquakes.

slide 2

The Pyramid of Cheops

Even in ancient times, the pyramids of Giza were considered one of the seven "wonders of the world." But even today they are able to hit anyone. The largest of them is the pyramid of Cheops, the second pharaoh of the IV dynasty. This pyramid is still the largest architectural creation of human hands. At the base, it is a square with a side of 227.5 meters. The height during construction is 146.6 meters, and now the pyramid is 9 meters lower: the upper stones fell during earthquakes. The construction of the pyramid (and it was completed around 2590 BC) took 2.3 million stone blocks weighing two and a half tons each. The total volume of the pyramid is 2.34 million cubic meters. The faces of the pyramid are oriented to the cardinal points, and their angle of inclination to the base is 51o52". The entrance is located on the north side. Separate blocks, according to the Arab historian Abdel Latif (XII century), fit so precisely to each other that it is impossible to slip between them blade of knife.

There are no inscriptions or decorations inside the Cheops pyramid. There are three burial chambers. The burial chamber of the pharaoh is a room about 11 meters long, five meters wide and almost six meters high. The walls of the tomb are finished with granite slabs. The red granite sarcophagus is empty. Neither the pharaoh's mummy nor grave goods have been found. It is believed that the pyramid was plundered in ancient times.

On the south side of the pyramid is a structure shaped like a ship. This is the so-called Solar Boat - one of the five on which Cheops was supposed to go to the other world. In 1954, a boat 43.6 m long, disassembled into 1224 parts, was discovered during excavations. It was built of cedar without a single nail and, as evidenced by traces of silt preserved on it, before the death of Cheops, it was still floating on the Nile.

slide 3

"Horizon of Khufu" is the name of the Pyramid of Cheops.

slide 4

Pyramid of Khafre

The second largest pyramid of Giza belongs to the pharaoh Khafre. It was built 40 years later than the first one. Sometimes it seems that the pyramid of Khafre is even larger than that of Cheops. In fact, it is slightly smaller. The side of the square base of the Khafre pyramid is 215 meters. Height - 136 meters. However, in ancient times, like the pyramid of Cheops, it was 9 meters higher. The angle of inclination is sharper than that of the first pyramid: 53o8 ". Here, the entire complex of structures is more clearly visible, consisting of a temple in the valley, a road, a temple of the dead and the pyramid itself. The lower temple, in which 25 statues of pharaohs once stood, is known for that here, on the threshold of the kingdom of the dead, Khafre was mummified

slide 5

Pyramid of Menkaure

The pyramid of Menkaure completes the ensemble of the great pyramids of Giza. Its construction was completed in 2505 BC. This pyramid is much smaller than its predecessors. The side of the base is 108 meters, the original height is 66.5 meters (today - 62 m), the angle of inclination is 51o. The only burial chamber of the pyramid is carved into its rocky base, emphasizing the greatness of the pyramids of Cheops and Khafre. The latter are not difficult to distinguish from each other: at the pyramid of Khafre, near the top, a white basalt lining is partially preserved.

The Egyptian pyramids are the greatest architectural monuments of Ancient Egypt, including one of the "seven wonders of the world" the pyramid of Cheops and an honorary candidate for the "new seven wonders of the world" the Pyramids of Giza. Pyramids are huge pyramid-shaped stone structures used as tombs for the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The word "pyramid" is Greek, meaning polyhedron. According to some researchers, a large pile of wheat became the prototype of the pyramid. According to other scientists, this word comes from the name of the funeral cake of a pyramidal shape. In total, 118 pyramids were discovered in Egypt (as of November 2008).

The largest is the pyramid of Cheops. Initially, its height was 146.6 m, but due to the fact that now there is no lining of the pyramid, its height has now decreased to 138.8 m. The length of the side of the pyramid is 230 m. The construction of the pyramid dates back to the 26th century BC. e. The construction is believed to have taken over 20 years.

The pyramid is built from 2.5 million stone blocks; no cement or other binders were used. On average, the blocks weighed 2.5 tons, but in the "King's Chamber" there are granite blocks weighing up to 80 tons. The pyramid is almost a monolithic structure, with the exception of several chambers and corridors leading to them.

The pyramid complex at Giza is located on the Giza plateau in the suburbs of Cairo, Egypt. This complex of ancient monuments is located about 8 km towards the center of the desert from the old city of Giza on the Nile River, about 25 km southwest of the center of Cairo. The buildings were created in the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt during the reign of the IV VI dynasties (XXVIXXIII century BC).
