Who built the pyramids

Why were the great pyramids built and who built them? How were the ancient Egyptians really built the pyramids? What is the mystery of the Great Pyramid?


Though some popular versions of history held that the pyramids were built by slaves or foreigners forced into labor, skeletons excavated from the area show that the workers were probably native Egyptian agricultural laborers who worked on the pyramids during the time of year when the Nile River flooded much. Rooted firmly in the popular imagination is the idea that the pyramids were built by slaves serving a merciless pharaoh.

The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser , which was built c. BC during the Third Dynasty. The Egyptian pyramids were built by Egyptians, there were actually very few slaves used in the construction and there is no archaeological evidence to suggest that any of these were Israelites. In fact at that time there would have been.


In South American and Central America. The Mayas Toltec Aztecs The Chinese built pyramids. Celts and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois all had built pyramids of some form.


The question of who built the pyramids, and how, has long been debated by Egyptologists and historians.

Standing at the base of the pyramids at Giza it is hard to believe that any of these enormous monuments could have been built in one. Then who built the Pyramids? It was the Egyptians who built the Pyramids.


It and its neighboring tombs have survived 5years of wars and desert storms — and they’re made from plans and measurements accurate to within a fraction of an inch. The ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids may have been able to move massive stone blocks across the desert by wetting the sand in front of a contraption built to pull the heavy objects, according to a new study. The Mesopotamians built the earliest pyramidal structures, called ziggurats.


Since they were constructed of sun-dried mud-brick, little remains of them. Ziggurats were built by the Sumerians, Babylonians, Elamites, Akkadians, and Assyrians for local religions. Egyptologists believe the pyramid was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (often Hellenized as Cheops) and was constructed over a 20-year period. His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and towers some 4feet (1meters) above the plateau. Cooney says experts have theorized they could’ve used straight ramps that went up the pyramid’s outside walls,.


The Great Pyramid of Khufu is one of 1pyramids in Egypt with superstructure. And there are pyramids with substructure. The pyramids of Giza were royal tombs built for three different pharaohs. The northernmost and oldest pyramid of the group was built for Khufu (Greek: Cheops), the second king of the 4th dynasty.


Called the Great Pyramid , it is the largest of the three.

The long-held theory that the pyramids were built by slaves might not actually be true. It’s a concept that was then propagated by Hollywoo but might not be true. Many, especially in the USA, believe there are space creatures who came from Mars and built the Pyramids.


The first pyramid was the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. This is not scientific at all. It began as a traditional mastaba for the Third Dynasty king Djoser. Inspired by it, Imhotep expanded the building by adding a fourth,.


Recent archeological evidence suggests they were instead constructed by paid workers.
