Section 387 Pyramid of Khufu
Worried, I continued, "These pyramids of Egypt are the tombs of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. So there are as many pharaohs as there are in Egypt, and there are almost as many pyramids as there are, so there are really too many pyramids, they are numerous, dense, and widely distributed. I really can't figure out which one is the pyramid mentioned in the parchment of Mr. Wang Dalong, because it is distributed in Egypt and the Americas, Upper Egypt, Middle Egypt and Lower Egypt in ancient Egypt, and in present-day Sudan and Egypt. In the lower reaches of the Nile, there are more than 100 pyramid remains. Varying in size, the pyramids around the ancient city of Memphis on the West Nile River southwest of Cairo are part of the concentration of possession. A total of 96 pyramids have been found in Egypt itself by the time we left, so should we go inside one by one to find them?
Xiao Fei smiled and said: "This is Ziyue's problem, when you go to a foreign country this time, why are you not flexible, are you so confused and happy by the exotic scenery that you get carried away, or are you fascinated by the wanton wind and sand in Egypt, so you directly ignore Mr. Wang's own thoughts, just take it for granted and be self-righteous." According to the previous way of thinking, he didn't mean to make things difficult for us, otherwise we would have done it alone. It is difficult to find it for decades, so I analyze that the pyramid mentioned by Mr. Wang Dalong must be easy to find, it is clear at a glance, and it will not be a pyramid that is so remote that even archaeologists have not remembered it, I speculate that it must be a more famous pyramid, famous, known to women and children, well-known and famous. So I think it's mostly over there.
"Where?
I said in confusion. "It's not simple, it's far away, it's close at hand.
Xiao Fei pointed with his hand. It turned out that I was blinded by a leaf, and my eyes were blocked by the yellow sand that had just been scraped, and it turned out that next to the Sphinx in front of me was not the tall and glorious pyramid of Egypt, the Pyramid of Khufu. The scale of this pyramid is huge, majestic, and breathtaking. Everyone saw this magnificent pyramid and shouted loudly, which was really an eye-opener, completely beyond their imagination, and even more shocking and breathtaking than the Sphinx just now. Xiao Fei said freely: "I estimate that most of it is this pyramid, according to my intuition, there must be nothing wrong, because it is the most famous, the Pyramid of Khufu is the largest existing pyramid in Egypt, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, located in Giza, Egypt, is the pyramid of the pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, mainly as his mausoleum, and it is also the largest and highest Egyptian pyramid in the world. It was built around 2580 BC and completed in 2560 BC. Located in the center of the Giza pyramids, it is also the tallest, and is known as one of the eight ancient wonders of the world. Before the Eiffel Tower was built, the Pyramid of Cheops was the tallest building in the world. The Pyramid of Khufu was built during the reign of Khufu, the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, and is believed to be a mausoleum built by Khufu for himself. The pyramid tower is 146.59 meters high, and due to weathering, the top has peeled off 10 meters, and it is now 136.5 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a 40-story building. The tower is made of 2.3 million boulders, ranging in size from 1.5 tons to 160 tons, and the total weight of the tower is about 6.84 million tons, which is the largest of the more than 70 pyramids found in Egypt so far. According to an estimate by a British archaeologist named Peter, the Great Pyramid of Khufu is made of about 2.3 million stone blocks, with an outer layer of about 115,000 stones, and weighs an average of 2.5 tons, which is as big as a car and even more than 15 tons. If the train were to be loaded, the stones would have held more than 600,000 wagons. If these stones are chiseled into small pieces with an average of one cubic foot, and arranged in a row along the equator, the length is equivalent to 2\3 of the circumference of the equator. According to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu took 20 years and employed 100,000 people every year. Moreover, it is an almost solid megalithic body, and in ancient Egypt, every pharaoh set out to build a mausoleum for himself from the day he ascended the throne, in order to transcend himself as a god after death. The 4 inclined planes of the Great Pyramid of Khufu are facing the east, south, west and north squares, the error does not exceed 3 points of the arc, the bottom edge is originally 230 meters long, due to the limestone falling off the outer layer of the tower, the bottom edge is now shortened to 227 meters, and the inclination angle is 51 ° 52 '. The tower was originally 146.59 meters high, and is now 136.5 meters high because of the peeling off of the top, which is equivalent to a 40-story skyscraper, and the bottom surface of the tower is square. The entire pyramid is built on a huge convex rock, covering an area of about 52,900 square meters and a volume of about 2.6 million cubic meters. Its four sides are facing the southeast, northwest, and four directions. It is also the oldest pyramid, because of the 110 pyramids that have been found in Egypt, the pyramids of the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren in the Giza Heights - the pyramid of Khufu, the pyramid of Khefra and the pyramid of Menkaula are the oldest. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, he observed the Pyramid of Khufu after a fierce battle with Turkish and Egyptian troops in the area of the Pyramids on July 21 of that year. It is said that he was so impressed by the size of the tower that he threw himself to the ground. He estimated that if the pyramid of Khufu and the stones of the pyramid of Khufu's son Khafre and grandson Mencaura, who were not far from it, were added together, it would be possible to build a stone wall three meters high and one meter thick to enclose the whole of France along the border. It's truly breathtaking, and it's breathtaking. I nodded, and said in a heartfelt voice, I feel that Xiaofei does have a point, maybe something is in this pyramid of Khufu.
We see that the others are still relishing, staring and watching from a distance, and it is not easy to interrupt their interest and make them suspicious, but let them be free to see as much as they want.
Xiao Fei said with relish: "I guess most of it is in the Pyramid of Khufu, this pyramid is not only amazing for its huge size, but also for its high architectural skills. Because this pyramid is very magical, the slope of the pyramid is fifty-two degrees, the stones are densely connected, do not want to find the gap, between the stones of the tower, there is no cement or other sticky, but a stone on top of another stone. It is a miracle in the history of architecture that each stone has been ground flat for thousands of years, and even then it is difficult for people to insert a sharp blade into the gap between the stones, so it can survive thousands of years without falling. There is no adhesion between the construction stones, and it is made up of the overlapping and occlusion of the stones, and even the tip of the knife cannot be inserted, so I have to admire some techniques such as measurement and engineering in ancient Egypt. It is very difficult for modern society to achieve such a high level of technology, how did it be done in ancient times for thousands of years? It is really amazing, and there is a triangular entrance and exit made of four huge stones on the north side of the Great Pyramid 13 meters above the ground. This triangle is used very cleverly, because if you use a quadrilateral instead of a triangle, then the enormous pressure of the pyramid itself, which is more than 100 meters high, will collapse this entrance. With the triangle, the tremendous pressure is evenly dispersed. It is indeed remarkable that there was such an understanding and application of the principles of mechanics more than 4,000 years ago, and that such a structure could be had. for a surprising miracle. And not only the majestic figure of the Pyramid of Khufu is amazing, but also the coincidence of numbers that happened on the Pyramid of Khufu is also incredible, people already know that because the Earth's orbit is elliptical, the distance from the Earth to the Sun is between 146.24 million kilometers and 151.36 million kilometers, so that people take the average distance between the Earth and the Sun 149,597,870 kilometers as an astronomical unit of measurement (modern science accurately measures the average distance between the Sun and the Earth is 149,597,870 kilometers, about 150000 kilometers), if the height of the Pyramid of Khufu is 146Multiply .59 meters by billion, and the result is 146.59 million kilometers exactly in the range of 146.24 million kilometers to 151.36 million kilometers. In fact, this figure can hardly be said to be a coincidence, because the meridian of the Pyramid of Khufu happens to divide the land and sea on Earth into two equal halves. Could it be that the Egyptians were able to make such accurate astronomical and geographical measurements in ancient times? The data are incredible, I don't know whether it was intentional when the tower was built, or it was accidentally stumbled, the bottom of the pyramid of King Khufu is almost due north, south, east, and west, and the error is less than 1 degree. Although stargazing is used to determine the bearing, the error can be less than 1 degree with the naked eye. Back in 2500 B.C., it was discovered that four tunnels pointed to four special stars that were crossing the meridian at that time. They are aligned with the second star of Ursa Minor, the brightest first star of Canis Major, Sirius, Polaris, and the first star of Draconi at the right pole. Using a computer, we proved that around 2500 B.C., the four tunnels of the Great Pyramid were aligned with four stars. It is also known that the correspondence between the pit and the star is relatively closed due to the continuous change of the transverse latitude, which is only about a century. This phenomenon is precession in astronomy. Using computer simulations to go back to 1050 B.C., the arrangement of the three Orion stars across the meridian in the sky is the same as the arrangement of the three pyramids of Giza on the ground, and the position distribution of the stars in the sky and the Nile on the ground is also completely symmetrical. This correspondence between heaven and earth is not a coincidence of chance. Unexpected numerical coincidences continue to emerge, as early as the entry of Napoleon's army into Egypt, the French drew a line of due north to the apex of the Pyramid of Khufu, so that the Nile Delta was divided in equal halves. If one takes the imaginary line further north to the North Pole, one can see that the extension line is only 6.5 kilometers away from the pole of the North Pole, and if you take into account the fact that the position of the Arctic Pole is constantly changing, it is conceivable that the extension coincided with the Arctic Pole when the Pyramid of Khufu was built. Other scholars have stumbled upon the incredible existence of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. They first noticed that the base angle of the Great Pyramid of Cheops was not 60°, but 51°51', and thus found that the area of each wall triangle was equal to the square of its height. In addition, the ratio of the height of the tower to the perimeter of the base of the tower is the ratio of the radius of the earth to the circumference, therefore, the height of the tower is divided by 2 times of the bottom edge, and the pi can be obtained. Taylor argues that this ratio is by no means accidental, and that it proves that the ancient Egyptians already knew that the earth was circular, and that they also knew the ratio of the earth's radius to its circumference. The data in the literature study what units of length the ancient Egyptians used to build the pyramids. When he converted the circumference of the base of the tower into inches. This led him to wonder if there was a relationship between the imperial unit of length and the unit of length used by the ancient Egyptians. Their ideas were supported by British mathematician Professor Charles Pitch Smith. In 1864, Smith visited the Great Pyramid of Khufu and claimed that he had discovered more mathematical mysteries about the Great Pyramid. For example, multiplying the height of a tower by 1 billion equals the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Later, another Englishman, Ferendzi Petri, took his father's 20 years of painstaking efforts to improve the measuring instruments to survey the Great Pyramid again. In the survey, he was surprised to find that the error of the Great Pyramid in terms of lines, angles, etc., was almost equal to zero, and in a length of 350 feet, the deviation was less than 0.25 inches. Its circumference is exactly 362.31 cubits—230.36 meters—about the same time as the Earth is in a year—its circumference×2 is the hour division of the equator, and the circumference of the base of the tower is 230.26 ×4 divided by 2 times the height of the tower before it collapsed, 146.591 meters is equal to 3.1416, which is far more accurate than the Greeks calculated pi of 3.1428, and compared with the Chinese Zu Chongzhi calculated pi between 3.1415926 --- 3.1415927, it is almost exactly the same. At the same time, the right-angled triangular chamber inside the Pyramid of Khufu, with a ratio of 3:4:5 to each side, embodies the value of the Pythagorean theorem. Its self-weight × 10.15 million is the self-weight of the earth, and the height of the tower × 1 billion, which is about the average distance from the earth to the sun. The meridian of the earth passes right through the center of the pyramid. The two pole axes rotate exactly once every 25,827 years, and the sum of the two diagonal lines of the pyramid is 25,826.6 centimeters. All of this is a reasonable indication that the coincidence of these figures may not be accidental, and that the phenomenon of the pyramids, which are perfectly combined between numbers and architecture, may be the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians.
"I gazed intently at the towering and mysterious Pyramid of Khufu in the middle of this endless desert, and I was amazed at how many secrets were hidden in it, which is still a mystery that is far from being fully solved. The mystery of the pyramids continues to attract thousands of people to explore, and we can immediately enter the pyramid and see it, which is very exciting.
