The study of ancient Egypt is one of the most interesting activities in the world. From early childhood, we have heard tales of mummy curses, that the ancient pyramids were built by aliens, and that the ancient Egyptians knew how to conjure. Perhaps much of this remains just legends, but Ancient Egypt left behind a lot of interesting things.
10) Pregnancy test
Not everyone has heard that the first pregnancy tests appeared back in Ancient Egypt. There were many ways to tell if a woman was pregnant or not. All these methods were described in a document called "Berlin Medical Papyrus".
For example, a woman was given a special drink to drink, which included beer and dates. Pregnancy was somehow determined after the amount of her vomit was analyzed. Most likely, the pregnant woman simply had a greater sensitivity to smells.
Another test suggested that a woman should urinate on two bags - one with barley and wheat, the other with dates and sand. If the grains in both bags germinate, then the woman is pregnant.
Not so long ago, modern scientists decided to check how true the last test is. As it turned out, the test did in most cases indicate pregnant women, but some of them received a negative result.
The ancient Egyptians also knew how to determine the sex of an unborn child, but the researchers found that this method only works half the time, that is, it is based on chance alone.
9) Curse of the Mummies
As we all know, the Titanic was a gigantic ship built by fools who thought they had built an unsinkable ship. Their pride led to a huge tragedy that claimed hundreds of lives. Although it is believed that the sinking of the Titanic was an accident, many do not want to believe it.
There are legends about the cursed mummy of the priestess of Amon, who was brought to England. This mummy allegedly knew how to break nearby objects and cause misfortune with the help of black magic. It was this mummy that sank the Titanic, as it was taken aboard the ship.
Rumors of a mysterious Egyptian mummy originated with an Englishman, William Stead, who claimed to own a mummy he took with him on his travels that had incredible magical powers. However, in reality, he made it all up.
8) Love drinks
The ancient Egyptians loved to conjure and naturally knew a lot about love, so they knew how to brew love potions. These drinks were made depending on the situation, for example, there were love potions that helped make a woman fall in love with a certain man, arouse passions in her, or vice versa, lapel drinks that help destroy a marriage.
The recipes for these love drinks have survived to this day, but we can consider them simply insane. For example, according to one recipe, a man needs to mix the dandruff of a murdered person with barley, apple seeds, blood taken from a bug that bit a black dog, his own blood and semen. This mixture was to be added to the drink of his beloved and ensured that no one else drank it.
7) Prophetic dreams
In ancient Egypt, close attention was paid to dreams. Today we know that dreams are just a jumble of images, but the Egyptians were convinced that everything they saw in a dream was important.
People paid money to priests who were good at interpreting dreams and were the owners of special books - dream books, so that they would explain the meaning of a particular dream. Some even stayed in temples to sleep in order to be closer to the gods, in order to see something very important in a dream.
The ancient Egyptians were not particularly worried about the specific things that they saw in a dream, but they paid great attention to the details that they described in their dream books. For example, to see in a dream big cat meant that the future harvest would be very generous, and to see a dwarf in a dream means that half of your life is already behind you.
6) Mentions of Christ
Not so long ago, an ancient Egyptian text was discovered in which there are new details from the life of Christ. Although researchers have accepted this text as genuine, they cannot claim that the information it contains is correct. At least the person who wrote this document believed what he described.
Many things were mentioned in the text, among other things, for example, it was said that Jesus could change his appearance. He, of course, could not turn into any animal, but he could change facial features, disguise himself as an old man or become a small child. Christ used this ability to hide from his pursuers, who intended to arrest him.
It is known that last supper took place on a Thursday, but the text says that it actually took place on a Tuesday. It has also been claimed that before Jesus was executed, Pontius Pilate interacted with Jesus, shared bread with him, and even offered to kill his son in his stead. Jesus allegedly politely declined and thanked Pilate for his kindness and showed him that he could leave at any time if he wished.
5) Revenge
The ancient Egyptians knew all kinds of witchcraft and knew how to use it in the most diverse form in order to take revenge on someone. The most famous use of witchcraft is the curse of mummies. The pharaohs knew some magic spells that were written in their tombs, so anyone who disturbed their peace paid for it with their own lives.
Naturally, the existence of any of these curses has not been scientifically proven, it is just a theory that is based on random events. Scientists nevertheless became interested in this issue and decided to find out, maybe the "curses" can be explained in some other way.
After examining the substances that were present in the tombs, scientists found dangerous molds that grew on the walls and could lead to lung problems in those who inhaled their spores.
By the way, the myth of a magical ancient Egyptian statue was recently debunked. In the British Museum, a video was filmed of how she spontaneously turns. Magic again? Not at all. After careful research, it turned out that the statue turned due to the vibrations of the floor, which were caused by the feet of museum visitors while walking.
4) Resurrection of the dead
Magic was not just popular in ancient Egypt, it was used for a variety of things, and in society it occupied a special place and was officially recognized. The high priests used sorcery for various performances, in which everyone unconditionally believed.
According to legend, one ancient Egyptian priest was once able to move the waters of the lake apart, just as Moses parted the Red Sea in order to take some trinket lying there from the bottom. Also, the priests allegedly knew how to resurrect dead animals and even people. Usually resurrection was used in special cases, when, for example, it was necessary to testify at a trial.
Resurrection was an important part of the life of the Egyptians. The idea of death and rebirth to new life was the main tenet of their religion. The Egyptians believed that, like the sun that rose every time, they would eventually begin to live a completely new life.
That is why they carefully preserved the remains of the dead in order to prepare them for a new life. If a person died, he had to appear before the highest judge. He started new life only if his deeds were properly evaluated.
3) Trained monkeys
Most people associate cats with ancient Egypt, but baboons also held an important place in Egyptian culture and society. In addition, primates are much easier to train than cats, and these animals have been used for practical purposes. For example, they could easily be taught to get fruits, nuts, dates from tall trees. By the way, this method of harvesting is used in some countries today.
According to historians, baboons were considered sacred animals in Egypt. They make loud unpleasant sounds at sunrise, so they were associated with the Sun God. One of the pharaohs - Amenhotep III - even ordered the installation of four huge statues of monkeys. The Egyptians also believed that baboons had a connection with the God of the Nile, Hapi, who was the offspring of the great Egyptian God Horus.
2) Amulets
The Egyptians were the first to use amulets, as they were very superstitious. They believed that if you wear certain items having special properties you can protect yourself. Most of us think this is just stupid, but how often before an important event do we, for example, put on a "lucky" shirt, take a "lucky" pen with us, or some other object with which we think we are more lucky.
Ancient Egyptian amulets were mostly jewelry made in the shape of some kind of animal or symbol. These gizmos could be made from anything, but they had great magical power. How this or that amulet "worked" depended on what it was made of, what shape it had, what it looked like and, of course, what kind of spell was put into it.
1) Healing the sick
Perhaps the most famous fact related to magic is the use of sorcery by the Egyptians to heal the sick. Perhaps they managed to do something, but most of the stories that have come down to us are nothing more than fiction.
It was believed that ancient Egyptian medicine was largely based on witchcraft, but recent research has shown that magic did not play too much of a role. Many rituals were based on the use of witchcraft, but this does not mean that the ancient Egyptians did not use traditional methods in medicine.
The Egyptians, for example, were excellent at surgery, and there is evidence that they even made prosthetic toes. The researchers found that in Egyptian society medical care equally everyone could receive, regardless of status.
Few civilizations have a more mysterious reputation than ancient Egypt. Of course, humanity has already learned a lot about the country of hieroglyphs and sacred cats, but much remains to be unraveled. Perhaps one day we will find the answers to all questions, but for now we can only speculate.
1. How did Tutankhamen die?
Tutankhamun is probably the most famous of all the pharaohs, despite his early death. But how did he die? We have a few guesses. X-rays from 1968 and a CT scan from 2005 show broken ribs and a leg. Fell off the chariot? Accident? Pyramid vandalism? The second theory: bad heredity as a result of incest, because his parents were brother and sister.
2. Where is the tomb of Alexander the Great?
We really have no idea where he is buried. Alexander wanted to be thrown into the Euphrates River after his death in 323 BC, but the generals chose to bury him. First, Alexander was buried in Memphis. Then he was moved to a new tomb in Alexandria, and then reburied again in Alexandria. In 215 AD the Roman emperor Caracalla visited his grave, and this is the last mention of it in history.
3. What was the original name of the Sphinx?
To date, we have learned almost nothing about the Sphinx. Until 1817, all we could see was his head peeking out of the sand. We don't even know what the ancient Egyptians called it. "Sphinx" is a Greek word that came to be called much later. And yet we do not know what it symbolizes and why it was erected.
4. Why were shoes hidden in the temple?
In 2004, the team of archaeologist Angelo Sesana found a jar deliberately hidden in a small space between two brick walls inside a temple in Luxor. Inside were seven pairs of shoes. Why are there shoes, and what is the fate of their owners? Egypt expert André Veldmeier rated the shoes as expensive and clearly not for commoners. We also don’t know exactly how old the shoes are, but obviously not less than two thousand.
5. What about the mummies, whose faces are frozen with a mask of pain?
"Screaming" mummies with open mouths are not uncommon. They don't even "scream" actually. Many mummies had their mouths opened during embalming so that the person could eat, drink and breathe in afterlife. However, there is one mummy that did indeed seem to be screaming in agony. "Unknown Man E" was discovered in 1886, and some researchers believe that he may have been poisoned or buried alive.
6. What happened to Queen Nefertiti?
For years, Nefertiti ruled Egypt alongside Pharaoh Akhenaten until she simply disappeared. After 1336 BC there is no mention of her. There is not even her grave or mummy, although the Egyptians were very respectful of the dead. In 2015, Egypt's antiquities minister said that Tutankhamen's tomb supposedly contains an additional chamber, and one of them could very well be Nefertiti's tomb.
7. How many chambers are in the Great Pyramid?
Everyone knows the Great Pyramid of Giza - it is the only remaining of the seven wonders of the world. It has three chambers: the King's chamber, the Queen's chamber and the Great Gallery. But more recently, it was discovered that there are at least two more cameras. Most likely, there are many more hidden rooms and tunnels in the Great Pyramid than we thought.
8. Who were the Sea Peoples?
So, the Sea Peoples lived in Egypt. And we don't know much about who they were. In fact, we don't know anything about them at all. Allegedly, it was a group of pirates who plied the Mediterranean Sea, and Egypt was a tasty morsel for them. Egyptian texts from the time of Ramses II mention only that "they came from the sea in their warships, and no one could resist them."
9. Where exactly was the Yam kingdom?
Somewhere in Egypt, more than 4,000 years ago, there was a mysterious and prosperous kingdom called Yam. The Egyptian treasurer Harkhuf mentioned that he returned from Yam with luxurious things: “three hundred donkeys loaded with incense, ebony, incense, grain, leopard skins, elephant tusks, many boomerangs and other beautiful gifts.” Where this heavenly place was - we do not know. In any case, no trace of him remained.
10. Who is buried in Qurna?
In 1908, in Thebes, the British Egyptologist Flinders Petrie stumbled upon an unknown royal tomb, and now, a century later, we still do not know who was buried there. The burial belonged to the 17th or 18th dynasties, i.e. the bodies were 250 years older than Tutankhamen. One mummy is a young woman, and the other is presumably her child. They both wore jewelry made of gold and ivory. Unfortunately, the inscription on the tomb was illegible, except for the words "great wife of the pharaoh."
“In Egypt in ancient times there was electricity! In 1937, during excavations near Baghdad, the German archaeologist Wilhelm Koenig discovered
Clay jars with copper cylinders inside. These cylinders were fixed at the bottom of clay vessels with a layer of resin. Koenig did not attach any importance to this, but after the war, excavations in Iraq resumed. And near the ancient Sumerian city of Seoevkia, scientists again discovered glazed clay vessels resembling flower vases.
These were galvanic cells. Scientists filled these vases with lemon juice and found a potential difference of half a volt between an iron rod and a copper cylinder. gone electricity! These vases turned out to be electric batteries. They were discovered in Iraq in the early 1980s. Then images of similar vases-batteries were found on the walls of Egyptian houses. In the same years, Reinhard Habek in the Egyptian temple of Hathor in Dendera, five hundred kilometers south of the Giza plateau and 50 kilometers north of Thebes, discovered wall images of pear-shaped objects with wavy lines in the form of snakes inside. From them came the cable and hoses. And they were strengthened on racks. It has been proven that pear-shaped objects with wavy lines inside are lamps of electric lamps, and racks are high-voltage insulators.
They were found under the oldest pyramid - Saqqara and under the pyramid of Djoser.
Egyptologists do not have a common opinion about the purpose of these columns (racks). Peter Krasa and Ron Hubard published a book on electricity in antiquity, Light of the Pharaohs, and they see columns as mere insulators. Then samples were found on which copper wires hung.
Apparently, this underground chamber in the foundation of the Temple of Hathor in Dendera was a mini-power plant, and here they depicted secret science about electricity, which was transmitted only to the initiates.
There are no traces of soot from torches on the walls and ceilings of the temples and pyramids of Egypt - they were illuminated by electricity. This idea was confirmed by the Mahatmas and E. Blavatsky.
The headdresses of the pharaohs were also accumulators of electrical or electromagnetic energy. On the front of their tall hats was an image of a cobra - a symbol of danger and strength. Maybe she hit enemies with electric current and subjects who did not want to obey the will of the pharaoh? D. Myers believes that the hat of Valdark, which the pharaohs of Egypt adopted from the alien representatives of Nibiru and Mars, in itself concentrated spiritual energy. But, probably, these hats were also equipped with electric batteries.
Recently, in the Valley of the Kings, scientists found, one and a half kilometers from the pyramid of Tutankhamun, a golden disk, or a coin, which depicts a face very similar to the Martian sphinx of Kydonia, photographed by an American spacecraft Viking 1 in 1976. The archaeologists were also puzzled by the inscription carved on the disk. The letters are completely different from Egyptian hieroglyphs. Copies of this inscription have been sent to authoritative specialists from different countries, but no answer has yet been found.”
Ancient Egypt has been haunting the minds of scientists and laymen ever since the Great Sphinx was first cleared of sand. And although archaeologists have already made many discoveries related to Egypt, the land of the pharaohs still holds many secrets under its sands. And sometimes it happens that new discoveries give rise to the appearance of more more riddles and answers.
1. The Lost Labyrinth of Egypt
2,500 years ago in Egypt there was a huge labyrinth, which, according to the Egyptian chroniclers, "exceeded even the pyramids." It was huge building two stories high, inside of which there were 3,000 different rooms connected by a winding labyrinth of passages so complex that no one could find their way out without a guide. At the bottom was an underground level that served as a tomb for kings, and at the top was a massive roof made from a single giant stone.
Countless ancient authors have described the labyrinth, claiming to have seen it with their own eyes, but 2,500 years later, scientists have no idea where it went. The most similar thing that has been found is a massive 300-meter stone plateau, which some believe was the base of the labyrinth. If so, then history needs to be rewritten.
In 2008, a group of geolocation specialists checked the plateau and found that there was an underground labyrinth under it, as described by one of the ancient writers. On this moment However, no one has even started excavating this site, which may be Egypt's greatest archaeological wonder.
2. Unknown queen of Egypt
In 2015, archaeologists stumbled upon the tomb of a woman who was buried among the great pyramids. ancient kingdom Egypt. Her tomb had inscriptions that called her "Pharaoh's wife" and "Pharaoh's mother". 4500 years ago, she was one of the most powerful women on the planet. But no one knows who it is. Historians dubbed her Khentakavess III, based on the assumption that she was the daughter of Pharaoh Neferirkare Kakai and Queen Khentkaus II, as well as the wife of Pharaoh Neferefre and the mother of Pharaoh Menkauhor. But this is just a guess. Whoever she was, she was once an incredibly powerful woman, but today everyone has forgotten about her.
3. Israeli Sphinx
In 2013, in Tel Hazor, Israel, archaeologists discovered something they never expected to find so far from Egypt: a 4,000-year-old Egyptian sphinx. To be more precise, they found the legs of a statue resting on a pedestal. The rest is believed to have been deliberately destroyed thousands of years ago.
Before someone destroyed this sphinx, it was about 1 meter high and weighed half a ton. Nobody knows what the Egyptian statue is doing in Israel. The only clue they could find was the inscription on the pedestal, which read "Pharaoh Menkaure" (a pharaoh who ruled Egypt around 2500 BC). It is very unlikely that Tel Hazor was conquered by the Egyptians. During the reign of Menkaure (or Maenkaur), Tel Hazor was a trading center in Canaan, directly between Egypt and Babylon. It was vital to the economic well-being of the two largest powers in the area. As scientists suggest, it could have been a gift.
4. The mysterious death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun
Pharaoh Tutankhamun was only 19 years old when he died, and no one knows exactly what happened to him. His death is a mystery. Scientists believe that Tutankhamun had a whole bunch of diseases, and it is impossible to say exactly why he died. He had malaria and was also born with so many genetic disorders that historians are convinced his parents must have been siblings. He had a twisted leg and genetic defects that some believe may have made his death nothing more than a matter of time.
The mummy also had a fractured skull, which is why archaeologists for a long time believed that the pharaoh was killed by a blow to the head. But today there is a version that his head was simply damaged during the embalming of the body. Tutankhamun injured his knee shortly before his death, leading to the theory that he died in a chariot accident. But this is also just a theory. In any case, his body was so deformed that the young pharaoh apparently could not even stand without assistance.
5. Hidden camera in the pyramid of Cheops
The largest pyramid was built 4500 years ago for Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops). It is a huge structure almost 150 meters high, built from over 2.3 million stone blocks. Until recently, everyone believed that there were three chambers inside it. If it seems to someone that there is too much free space inside, then he is not alone. That's why a team of researchers checked out the pyramid in November 2017 to see if they had missed anything earlier.
Above the Great Pyramid Gallery, they found signs that there may be a large hidden chamber (the size of the largest chamber found in the entire pyramid). It is strange that the Egyptians deliberately built a hidden chamber, making it completely inaccessible. There are no corridors or other ways to it. The only way to put something inside was to do it at the time the pyramid was built and seal it. No one has yet seen what is inside the hidden camera. But whatever it was, Pharaoh Khufu apparently did not want it to ever see the light of day again.
6The Mummy Wrapped In A Foreign Book
In 1848, a man bought an ancient Egyptian mummy from a shopkeeper in Alexandria. For years, he displayed it as an ordinary exhibit, not realizing how strange the artifact he found was. Only after removing some of the bandages from the mummy a few decades later, scientists discovered something very unusual. The mummy was wrapped in the pages of a book, but this book was not written in Egyptian. It took years of research to figure out what kind of language it was.
Today, scholars know that the book was written in the Etruscan language, which was used by an ancient civilization that once lived in what is now Italy. It is a language that almost no one knows anything about today. The text in which the mummy was wrapped is the longest Etruscan text ever found by explorers. But no one knows what it says. Scholars have been able to figure out a few words that appear to be dates and names of gods, but it remains to be seen why the dead body was wrapped in pages. Moreover, it is not known why the Egyptian mummy was wrapped in an Etruscan book.
7. Light of Dandara
On a temple wall in the Egyptian Dandara there is a huge relief showing a very strange image. It depicts (according to the usual interpretation) a snake in a large ball of fire flying out of a large lotus flower, which is supported by a pillar with human hands. This is a strange picture, but not only because the counter has arms. It's just very similar to the Crookes tube, a type of early light bulb invented in the 19th century. In fact, it looks so much like a light bulb that some people think it might be a diagram showing how to create one.
Although this theory is similar to the ones usually told by pseudo-historians on Youtube, it has some pretty convincing arguments. The room in which the Light of Dandara is depicted is the only room in the entire temple that did not have conventional oil lamps. Archaeologists have found soot, which indicates the use of lamps by the Egyptians, in all parts of the building, with the exception of this room. Therefore, if this room did not have a similar early version of the light bulb, how could anything be seen in it at all.
8. Ruined pyramid
The Pyramid of Djedefra was to be the tallest pyramid in Egypt. Although Djedefre did not have the resources to create the largest pyramid, he used a little trick. He built a pyramid on a hill. But for some reason, although all the other pyramids of Egypt stood for more than one thousand years, the Djedefra pyramid was the only one that was completely destroyed. All that was left of it was the base.
No one knows what happened to the pyramid, there are only theories. Some believe that Djedefra simply died before the pyramid was completed and it was left in ruins. Others believe that the Romans tore it to stone 2000 years ago, destroying the historical monument. Or maybe the people of Egypt hated Djedefre so much that he destroyed the whole pyramid.
9. Disappearance of Queen Nefertiti
Queen Nefertiti entered the legends because she was one of the few women who ruled Egypt. She was the great wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, and also, probably, the mother of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and, as scientists believe, she ruled Egypt alone for a certain time. But at the same time, the resting place of Nefertiti is unknown.
The search for her grave continued for years. Until 2018, archaeologists were almost certain that they had found her burial in a secret chamber hidden in the tomb of King Tutankhamun. However, in May they carefully examined the wall and found that there was nothing there. It is curious that in Egyptian history there is no mention of her death. After the twelfth year of the reign of her husband Akhenaten, all mention of her simply disappeared from historical documents. Some believe that this happened because Nefertiti became a pharaoh and took on a different name, but not everyone agrees with this theory. Some believe that the answer is more prosaic. According to Dr. Joyce Tidzeli, Nefertiti was never a pharaoh. One way or another, her fate remains a mystery.
10 Lost Punt
Ancient Egyptian writings are full of references to a country called Punt. It was an ancient African kingdom full of gold, ivory and exotic animals that captured the imagination of the Egyptians. And it must have been extremely powerful. The Egyptians so dubbed this place the "Land of the Gods".
But there is no doubt that Punt really existed. There are numerous references to this in ancient writings. In the ancient Egyptian temple there is even a picture of Queen Punt, but scientists have not been able to find any traces of the existence of this state. The only information containing hints of the existence of Punt are artifacts owned by the Egyptians. Scientists, desperate to find out where this kingdom was, studied the mummified remains of two baboons that the Egyptians brought from Punt, and determined that the baboons most likely originated approximately from modern Eritrea or Eastern Ethiopia. This at least gives you a starting point on where to look for Punt, but it's actually a huge area for archaeological exploration.
And recently in A startling discovery.
3-04-2017, 11:17 |
The Egyptian pyramids are those wonders of the world that have riveted the attention of man for many centuries. Mysterious structures, the construction of which no one can explain exactly. One of the more interesting is the mystery of the Egyptian pyramids.
It is known that Napoleon in the XVIII century. not yet being the emperor of France wanted to visit inside. He was attracted during the Egyptian campaign by mystical tales. He stayed inside for about 20 minutes. And then he went out very puzzled and even a little scared, silently, with difficulty, sitting on his horse, he returned to his headquarters. However, until now no one knows what struck Napoleon then, he took this secret with him.
And for a long time now, scientists, Egyptologists and simple daredevils have been trying to understand the main function. But even now the pyramids are a big mystery that our ancestors left us. No one can say how they were built and what they were intended for.
Mystery of the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt
Over the past 20-30 years, interest in the pyramids of Egypt has greatly increased. But it is still not known exactly what their purpose was. There were a lot of Egyptologists who did not see only the tombs of the pharaohs in the pyramids. On the contrary, many scientists put forward other versions, and some of them are able to change the view modern man about ancient civilizations. remain a great mystery to man, it is very difficult to imagine that such structures were built just to bury the pharaoh. Their construction was already very grandiose, and a lot of effort was expended.
One of the Arab historians who lived in the XIV century. wrote about the pyramid of Cheops. In his opinion, it was built by order of the mythical sage Hermes Trismegistus. He ordered the construction of 30 treasure vaults, which were filled with jewels and various tools. Another Arab traveler who lived in the same century claimed that the pyramids were erected before the flood. They were built to store books and other valuable items.
In ancient Egypt, powerful pharaohs ruled, crowds of slaves were in their submission. Pharaohs Khufu, Khafra and Menkaur are known as the most important. But the problem is that in these three pyramids there is no confirmation in the form of hieroglyphic inscriptions or mummies indicating that these are their pyramids.
On September 17, 2002, a message appeared in the media that several researchers intend to visit the cache, which was discovered in. They were going to do this with the help of a special robot. It was equipped with a camera. Everyone was waiting for the secret of the pyramid to be revealed. But disappointment awaited all x, it was not possible to penetrate far. It has to do with the design of the pyramids. After some stage of construction, it is no longer possible to enter some rooms.
The secret of the inner contents of the pyramids
In 1872, the British scientist Dixon tapped one of the chambers, the so-called queen's chamber. When tapping, he found voids, then with a pick he destroyed the thin wall of the cladding. He managed to find two holes of equal size, 20 cm each. Dixon and his associates decided that these were adits for ventilation.
Already in 1986, French specialists used a special apparatus and, with the help of technology, they also discovered cavities that were thicker than other stone masonry. Then specialists from Japan used special modern electronic devices. They enlightened the whole and the rest of the area to the Sphinx. Studies have shown many voids in the form of labyrinths, but it was not possible to get there. And those rooms that scientists could explore did not give results. No mummy was found there, or even any remnants of material culture.
So the question arises - where did all the contents go - a sarcophagus or jewelry. Maybe the Egyptologists correctly put forward the version that after a few centuries robbers visited the pyramid and took everything with them. But now many people think that the tombs were empty from the beginning, even before the entrance to it was walled up.
The Caliph's Entry into the Egyptian Pyramid
As proof of the theory that it was initially empty there, one can cite historical fact. In IX, Caliph Abdullah al-Mamun with his detachment penetrated into. When they got inside the king's chamber, they were supposed to find treasures there, which, according to legend, were buried with the pharaoh. But nothing was found there. Everything seemed to have been cleaned up, clean walls and floors and empty sarcophagi appeared before the caliph.
This applies not only to these pyramids in Giza, but to all built by the III and IV dynasties. In these pyramids, neither the body of the pharaoh, nor any signs of burial were ever found. Some didn't even have sarcophagi. This is also another secret.
In Saqqara, a stepped one was opened in 1954. It contained a sarcophagus. When scientists found it, it was still sealed, which means that the robbers were not there. So in the end it was empty. There is a hypothesis that the pyramids are a special place that was sacralized. There is an opinion that a person entered one of the chambers of the pyramid, and then came out already deified. However, this does not seem like a rational assumption. Most of all, faith is caused by the assumption that Mamun found maps in the pyramid that were compiled by representatives of a highly developed civilization.
This can be confirmed by the following event. After returning from Egypt, the caliph creates maps of the earth's surface and the most accurate catalog of stars for that period of time - the Damascus Tables. Based on this, it can be assumed that some secret knowledge was stored in the bowels of the pyramid, which later ended up in the hands of Mamun. He takes them with him to Bogdad.
An Alternative Approach to the Study of the Egyptian Pyramids
There is another approach to studying the mystery of the pyramids. According to geologists' research, a pyramid is a clot of specific pyramidal energy. Due to its shape, the pyramid can store this energy. Such research is still quite young, but many people are engaged in it. Such studies have been carried out only since the 1960s. There are even facts allegedly that the razor blades that were inside the pyramid became sharp again for some time.
It is believed that the pyramid has become a place for processing energy into another more convenient energy. Then it was used for some other things.
This theory goes far beyond official science. However, it still exists and it has its followers. Different scientists are trying to discover the secrets of these structures in different ways. Many ambiguities remain. Even elementary - how such massive structures have been preserved for thousands of years. Their construction looks so reliable that it forces many to think about the secret meaning of the pyramids.
It is already a proven fact that most of the buildings of other ancient civilizations have long since collapsed. Archaeologists are making great efforts to find them and somehow restore them. But only the top lining fell off the pyramids. The rest of their design symbolizes reliability.
The secret of the construction of the Egyptian pyramids.
Since the 19th century many Egyptologists study the structure of the pyramids. And they came to amazing conclusions. No one can reveal the secret of the construction of Egyptian tombs. However, it has been proven that the size of the plates is matched to the nearest millimeter. Each plate has the same size as the previous one. And the joints between them are so correctly made that it does not allow even a blade to be inserted there. It's just incredible. How the inhabitants of that distant time could build so correctly, without having any technical innovations.
The width between granite blocks is calculated as 0.5 mm. This is ingenious and incomprehensible. This is the accuracy that modern instruments have. But this is by no means the only secret in construction. Still striking are the right angles and the exact symmetry between the four sides. But an even more important mystery is who nevertheless brought several stone blocks to such a great height. The main version is that they built the pyramids. But there is a problem with the evidence base. Some nuances do not fit into this version. It is not clear how, with those technical and mechanical solutions, it was possible to build such massive structures.
The secret of the construction technology of the Egyptian pyramids
Assumptions are made that simply a modern person does not even know what construction technologies were used. But it is impossible to build what has been built without modern jacks and other tools.
Sometimes versions are put forward that are simply absurd at first glance - what kind of technologies were they, maybe they were brought here by some alien civilizations. Even with all the achievements of modern man, it would be difficult for a crane to repeat such construction. This could be done, but the construction itself was difficult. And here is another mystery that the pyramids carry with them.
Those pyramids that are located in Giza also contain the Sphinx and the Valleys, and here's another secret for you. During their construction, slabs weighing almost 200 tons were used. And here it becomes unclear how the blocks were moved in Right place. Yes, and 200 tons is not the limit of the Egyptians. On the territory of Egypt there are architectural structures weighing 800 tons.
It is also interesting that no even hints were found around the complex that such blocks were dragged from somewhere or moved to the construction site. Nothing found. Hence the assumption about the levitation technique is put forward. Based on the myths and traditions of the ancient peoples, in this regard, you can extract a lot useful information. Some of them directly or indirectly indicate the existence of such a technique. You can even spot images that look like a tank or a helicopter. In principle, for those who adhere to an alternative version of the construction of the pyramids, such a theory explains a lot.
Egyptian pyramids and mysteries around them
Of course, even alternative versions, if we are to be objective, cannot be discounted. Every scientist or ordinary person can go and see for himself what kind of structures these are. It immediately becomes clear that this is not a primitive construction of some kind of slaves. This is not even construction exclusively by hand. If you follow the logic, then there must be some unknown construction system, and again not a simple one. An example is the construction of massive and reliable structures using special technologies that have not yet been disclosed by modern researchers.
Now there are about three dozen different hypotheses that are trying to uncover the secrets of the pyramids. Most Egyptologists are of the opinion about the use of inclined planes, but still historians are not architects. But they then put forward other versions. They pinpointed to pave inclined plane k , then an inscription with a length of more than 1.5 km would be needed. Moreover, the volume of the inscription itself would be three times the volume of the pyramid itself. There is also the question of what to build. It would be impossible to build with simple soil, as they would begin to settle over time and under the weight of the blocks.
Another mystery is what tools were used to build the blocks. Yes, and generally built as a whole. One way or another, now it is impossible to adhere to an unambiguous version in this matter. There are many mysteries still inaccessible to man. Here were given both rational versions and, for some, absurd ones. However, there are such versions, and history is an objective thing. And so such alternative versions also have the right to exist.
