finally thot of smth to write! pathetic rite
ok its bout pyramids
how do ppl build them? as in last time
Pyramids were built for the pharaoh god-kings when they die
The first pyramid to be built was around 2600 BC for pharaoh ZOSER.
(but it does not compare wif the other pyramids built later on)
Building a pyramid in the past of cos took many years as they dont hab machines lyk us n it was a public works project
There are lots of theories on how pyramids r built
One theory is that the egyptians built one large ramp. This was quickly ruled out because the ramp would have to be a mile long in order for the slant of it to be feasable. The ramp would have used more material than the pyramid itself.
A second theory claims that there was a singular ramp spiraling around the pyramid. This will clearly not work because in order for the ramp to extend from the bottom to the top, the way the ramp would be, you wouldn't be able to cover all of the area and you would have a rather lacy pyramid. The angles would we so sharp that you wouldn't have been able to move two ton blocks around corners.
Lehner's theory, liked by many people, is the theory of Tafla. Tafla is a clay that is very strong when it is dried but is easily destroyed by a pick ax. When Tafla is wet it is very slippery and could have been used to move the 2 ton blocks. With a ramp of Tafla, a big crew could move the 2 ton blocks up the side of a pyramid. A pole was in a corner of the pyramid could swing the blocks around. This was proven by a NOVA experiment on a smaller scale
so which theory is more logical? i feel tat the LEHNER'S theory is the most logical
n i m so sorry i cant find any photos bout tis topic so it wil hab to b lengthy
sorry!
