Researchers have found fresh data that could help to clarify the construction process of these famous buildings.
It’s understandable why the Egyptian pyramids captivated people for so long. Their creation is shrouded in many mysteries. They weren’t created with slave labor, but you also probably don’t believe the conspiracy theories that claim they were constructed by aliens. So how were some of the biggest and most recognizable structures on Earth built by humans 4,000 years ago? Although we’re still not entirely certain, a recent finding may provide much more clarity.
The largest and oldest pyramid in the world is also the most well-known. It’s not called the Great Pyramid of Giza for nothing—at 481 feet (146.5 meters) tall. Around 2560 B.C.E., Pharaoh Khufu ordered its construction, though historical accounts differ about the actual method used. Nonetheless, over time, archaeologists have been able to provide a variety of explanations for the building’s construction methods.
Researchers believe that by soaking the sand beforehand, the stones’ journey across the desert was made easier. The stones were collected from a quarry located immediately south of the pyramid. However, that merely describes how the stones were moved from one place to another; it does not explain how they were subsequently propelled into the air and left there.
It’s a reasonable assumption that the activity would have required some kind of ramp, as per the researchers’ belief. They don’t exactly have a five-story crane. But what about concrete proof that such a ramp exists? Studies were yielding no results. It’s especially difficult because a 2.5-ton stone would have faced many difficulties if the ramp had been much steeper, at an approximate inclination of 20 degrees. However, a recent find at a separate quarry may provide insight into how prehistoric people accomplished this.
Dulce, New Mexico, appears to be a typical tiny southwestern town. Not even a traffic light is present. However, the most odd tales claim that this small village is really the top of a massive underground complex that houses inventions and experiments beyond the realm of imagination. There is a secret, high-tech world beneath Dulce that is inhabited by aliens, according to those who don tinfoil hats.
Conspiracy theorists claim that the Dulce subterranean complex is a seven-story compound located underneath Dulce, New Mexico, that is home to highly sophisticated technologies as well as human-animal and human-alien hybrids. They even claim to have hosted extraterrestrial battles. The standard, you know, It’s no accident that it’s been dubbed the Roswell of Northern New Mexico.
Grüner See is a must-visit location if you plan to walk the area. Unfortunately, due to its relatively recent surge in popularity, all watersports—including scuba diving, one of the area’s most appealing tourist attractions—are now prohibited by the local parks department. Other water-related hobbies including swimming, fishing, boating, and fetch-playing with your water-loving dog have also been outlawed.
However, there’s a legitimate reason for the prohibition: the amount of traffic that stirs up silt could eventually cause the landscape to become less green and more susceptible to corrosion. We want to peek beneath its surface during the peak of the melting season, but it’s better to avoid the risk than to open the gates. We’ll have to make do with the abundance of films on the internet for the time being, and perhaps the tides
Isn’t the Great Pyramid of Giza’s base a square? Not exactly, though. The Great Pyramid has eight sides, not four, despite what you may have heard about this ancient building. Very few concave indentations evenly split each of the pyramid’s four sides from base to tip. It is thought that P. Groves, a British Air Force pilot, made this discovery in 1940 while flying over the pyramid. Groves is said to have observed the odd sight and captured the indentations in a shot that shows shadows. Some people think that these faint lines may only be seen from above, as well as during the spring and fall equinoxes at sunrise and sunset. Because of this, some conspiracy theories believe that historical Egyptians built pyramids too.
