Friends, no matter how many man-made and natural wonders are present in the world but how pyramids were built in Cairo, Egypt, 4500 years ago, until today, no one could understand. The one that has been out of people’s understanding for thousands of years, is called the Great Pyramid of Giza. Even with today’s technology, it is still impossible to make the same pyramid again.

The Great Pyramid of Giza
The pyramid, which is about 481 feet long, was the longest man-made building in the world for 4000 years. Its record was broken by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France in 1889, whose height is 1083 feet. The average weight of the stones used to build this pyramid is 2.5 tons to 15 tons. The overall weight of the pyramid is around 6 million tons.
If you compare it with Burj Khalifa, the heaviest building of today, it is 12 times heavier than that. This pyramid is built on a total of 13 acres of land. The pyramid was built by maintaining an equal angle of 51 degrees from all sides. Many questions have been asked about its history, because when it was built, on that time mathematics did not even invented.
One question arises, how was it built? Because there was no crane, no bulldozer, and no wheels were invented until then. Still, how did they build this monument so many thousands of years ago, which has been standing in the heat of the sun in such changing weather since then? No one has seen a man-made monument like this in the world. Then how did it survive?
We will know all this in the historical series of Panjab46 blogs.
Who built the Pyramids of Giza?
Friends, the more we go back in history, the harder it becomes to find out how, when, and what happened. But it is estimated that this pyramid of Giza was built by Pharaoh Khufu in 260 BC, i.e. 25 years before the birth of Jesus. It is said that the kings and emperors of ancient Egypt were called Pharaohs by the people. And a pharaoh is considered a God.
3 Famous Egyptian Pyramids
This Great Pyramid of Giza is built around the Nile River in Cairo. When you look at the map, you will find that two more pyramids are also built with it. The tallest of these is the Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu. The smallest of these is the Pyramid of Khafre, and it is said that it was built by the son of Khufu, Khafre. The third and smallest is the Pyramid of Menkaure, which was built by the son of Khafre, Menkaure.
There are a total of 115 pyramids in the world without these three pyramids, which are of different sizes and shapes. And within time, many of them have also changed into broken pieces. Perhaps these are the three most well-preserved and maintained of them, especially the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Why were the pyramids built?
Let’s find out what was the reason behind building them. At times, the researchers have been surprised by the fact that they have been presenting and still are.
Some say that these pyramids were made to produce wireless electricity, which was later believed by scientists like Nikola Tesla. There are some who say that these pyramids were not made by the people of the earth, but by aliens from another planet and there are many other such facts. But what I found most relevant is that they were made as tombs in ancient times, and their kings and emperors were buried here.
The ancient Egyptians believed that life did not end after death. God judges their souls, and the good deeds they have done, God keeps them alive forever. That’s why the kings of the earth used to make tombs for themselves as they died and buried their belongings with them. Then after their death, their bodies were wrapped in such a way and the chemicals were applied to the body and then locked in the box. But unfortunately, no mummies or other valuable items were found in these pyramids by Archaeologists. It is believed that all these were stolen.
How Pyramids were actually built?
Now the biggest question is how the pyramids were actually made. Until now, no one has understood how the people of that time made this 481-foot building with such heavy stones. Remember that this single limestone stone is equal to the weight of one to three big elephants, and how these stones fit on top of each other. Honestly, no one could understand this.
You must have seen in the movies that the pyramids were made by slaves. But today we all know that all these were deliberate things because no ordinary worker could have built such a precise building. I personally believe that it was made by highly skilled professionals because no one could have worked so cleanly without them. The gap between one stone and the other is less than a fine needle, which is still not possible with any technique.
It is also necessary to maintain a 51-degree angle from all sides of the pyramid, which is built on 13 acres of land. Do you think this is still possible?
Surprising facts about the pyramids
Maybe you will be surprised to hear that the coordinates of the speed of light also match exactly with the north coordinate of this pyramid. If not exactly, then 99.67% match.
In addition, the three stars of the Orion belt also align in three pyramids. All this is not possible by a common man have ever made. It is not known many more such logics are connected with these pyramids, which still have not been found by humans.
One thing can be believed that perhaps the people who lived 4000 years ago would be more advanced than today’s people. This was also proven when thousands of years old city of a civilization Mohenjo Daro was found that had drowned in water. That city was more advanced than many other cities of today, even thousands of years ago. Those who don’t know, do watch the movie Mohenjo Daro by Hrithik Roshan.
So these were some interesting facts about the pyramids. If you have any other interesting facts regarding the pyramids around you, then do share them. And don’t forget to share this blog with your friends and family members.
