1 The Great pyramids

2 Great Pyramids Giza Pyramids

3 The great pyramids at Giza The pyramid was build as a tomb for Egyptian Pharaoh khufu is considered the great pyramid by architect.It is thought that, the great pyramid is about 138.75 metres tall. Each base side was about 440 royal cubits, 230,37 metres in length. The volume, including an internal hillock, is believed to be roughly 2,500,00 cubic metres.

4 The first precious measurements of the pyramids Were done by Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petric in 1880. Many of the casing precision based on measurements taken on the north eastern casing stones, the mean opining of the joints are only 0.5 millimetres wide. The pyramid remained the tallest man – made structure in the world for over3,800 years.

5 The accuracy of the pyramids Workmanship is such that the four sides of the base have a mean error of only 58 millimeters in length. the base is horizontal and flat to within 21 m m. The sides of the square base are closely aligned to the four cardinal compass points based on true north, not magnetic north and the finished base was squired to mean corner only 12 seconds of arc.

6 Some Egyptologists consider This to have been the result of deliberate design proportions. They were grant in building designs. The great pyramids consists of more than2:3 million limestone blocks from a nearby quarry. The Tura limestone used for the casing was quarried across the river. The largest granites stones in the pyramid, found in the king’s chamber, weigh 25 to 80 tunes and were transported more than 500 miles from Aswan

7 Traditionally, ancient Egyptians cut stone blocks by hammering wedges into the stones which were then soacked with water. The wodges expanded, causing the rock to crack once they were cut, they were carried by boat either up or down the Nile River. The Giza Pyramid complex which includes the pyramid of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure is surrounded by cyclopean stone wall.

8 Great pyramids at Giza are considered one of the beast wonder in the world. The honour returns into the triangle shape Which ancient Egyptian could designed without mistake. Its honour also returns into, it is the only wonder which still stand till our recently day. Thieves and robbers could steal lots lots of Egyptian treasures inside the tombs of kings and princess. We hope our lost treasures returned again to their real place.
