Discover how the Egyptians built the pyramids over 4.500 years ago, using innovative ramps to move stones weighing up to 15 tons and building the Great Pyramid of Giza in just 20 years.
The Egyptian pyramids are not just stone structures; they are the symbol of a brilliant and enigmatic civilization. Built over 4.000 years ago, these monumental structures, such as the Great Pyramid of Giza, continue to intrigue archaeologists and scientists. After all, how did the ancient Egyptians manage to erect millions of stone blocks, some weighing up to 15 tons, without modern technology?
Despite many theories over the centuries, there is still no total consensus on the method used. However, recent research has shed light on this mystery, offering fascinating new clues and explanations.
Traditional theories: Ramps and advanced engineering for building the pyramids
One of the most widely accepted hypotheses is that ramps were used to hoist the enormous stone blocks to impressive heights. Discoveries at Hatnub, an ancient alabaster quarry in Egypt’s Eastern Desert, have shown that inclined ramps with a gradient of more than 20% may have been crucial in the process. This discovery, led by Dr. Roland Enmarch and his team, suggests that the Egyptians were masters at creating practical solutions to monumental challenges.

The big debate revolves around the angle of the ramps. A less steep ramp would need to be so long that its construction would be almost as challenging as the pyramid itself. On the other hand, steeper ramps would require advanced techniques to move the stones without damaging them. This debate continues to rage among experts, showing how the pyramids still defy our understanding.
The role of the Nile River and transportation logistics
In addition to the ramps, transporting the materials was another monumental challenge. The Nile River was the main route for transporting stones and workers to construction sites. However, over the centuries, the river changed course, and many of its ancient branches disappeared. Current research is trying to map these areas to better understand how the Nile contributed to the logistics of the pyramids.
Without the Nile, Ancient Egypt probably wouldn't have been able to build these wonders. It's like trying to move mountains without an efficient route: impossible.
Workers' lives and construction deadlines
Another impressive factor is the speed at which the pyramids were built. The Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, was completed in just 20 years. This means that thousands of workers dedicated themselves to exhausting tasks every day. With an average life expectancy of just 35 years, construction had to be planned right at the beginning of the pharaoh's reign.
The workers were not slaves, as was once thought. Archaeological evidence shows that they had a balanced diet and lived in organized villages close to the construction site.
The Pyramids of Egypt continue to teach us lessons about human ingenuity and the power of cooperation. Despite advances in research, there is still much to discover about how the pyramids were built. Each new discovery brings us a little closer to unraveling this ancient puzzle.
Brazilians are amazed by the construction of the pyramids. Nowadays, in Brazil, a project that would take five years to complete is completed in thirty years and costs at least ten times more. In Egypt and other countries, there is still professionalism and no corruption. It's that simple.
Brazil's stumbling block and setback is just one thing: its penal code and its laws, which are too lax.
Delay in work on bidding works at DNINT I do not see any ease here in the works of BR 101 I work hard and we receive money for our work
I respectfully disagree. The problem in Brazil is the soul of the Brazilian people. They have no moral authority to rise up against the theft. There are city halls right next to our homes, stealing from healthcare, education, public works... Deep down, most Brazilians are just waiting for an opportunity to get their hands dirty. Here in MS, judges shamelessly sell sentences. Fighting corruption in the municipalities ends the power of the corrupt at the state and national levels. MUNICIPALITIES ARE THE BASIS OF CORRUPTION... Right next to our homes and we do nothing because our hearts yearn for a sweet treat...
Dude, the context is different! If it lasts for years, it's because the system has changed. Today, there is no hierarchy, there is $.! A false democracy!
Brazil, I love my nation, but it is corrupt... Those who are in power, for us to be in power at least, have to be honest! Save some, but 75%, my title changed this year to Taubaté. I had to change it because to enroll in a daycare center, I have to have a Taubaté title. For me to register for a social project, Bolsa Família, I have to be unemployed or my wife! Absurd! But my faith is greater than my adversities! Rant from a citizen of Taubaté
How difficult it is
And context.
You want to make easy money, complain about what you're going to work for
Because there is police and justice there!!!!
True. And that's why I admire it so much. Imagine, they didn't have the resources as close as we have today. They didn't have the machines as we have today. And everything evolved very quickly🤩. Today, it seems that, the more resources and labor looking for work, it seems that everything just gets delayed more and more here in the country🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
It's late because there are people complaining like you
Is there no corruption??? You are out of touch with reality. What happened in Egypt to build the empire is the same thing that happens today in relation to big businessmen and wage earners. Think a little more.
Where would you store food for 7 years of famine?
Would you harvest enough grain to feed all of Egypt and people in neighboring countries and cities?
GOD gave Joseph the ability to accomplish this great feat that continues to this day.
EVERYTHING IS IN THE BIBLE
OUR PAST
OUR GIFT
OUR FUTURE.
THERE IS NO MYSTERY
EVERYTHING HAS ALREADY BEEN REVEALED
ALL.
The Bible and the history of criminals.
The brothers sell Joseph to the caravan,
Joseph sells his entire family to the Pharaoh
Fernando, you should read a little more about everything in the Bible.
Even if you are an atheist, God forgives your sins, but saying stupid things and publishing them is a huge **** and ****.
Now, look for a church quickly, for .
1st, stop talking nonsense;
2⁰ Get your name in the book;
3⁰ And have the pleasure of meeting a man without equal. *JESUS CHRIST*
I am converted to Jesus Christ and was baptized with the Fire of the Holy Spirit of God (Matthew 3:11). Now, it is a huge mistake to say that for a person to look for a church where God does not dwell and the church where men corrupt themselves with many heresies, and the church of men only degenerates and distances man with each passing day from God. We are the true temple of God. We should follow only the teachings of Jesus, because for those who have faith, Jesus is enough. For being in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. We have been chosen since the foundation of the world, God is not a child who plays around with writing his name in the book. God knows and is familiar with each one, and salvation is individual. And you get to know Jesus every day through those who need help, such as orphans, beggars and those who need help. Do not think that by giving tithes to your church you are fulfilling God's will. Worshiping and praising God is what is most pleasing when you can help your neighbor. Stay with God, the creator of heaven and earth and everything in it🙌🏽🔥
Look for a church because there are not always people available to teach us the Bible. In church you can learn the **** and if you prefer to learn by reading the Bible you already have the basis
What you need is to suck on a sugarcane plantation, you annoying little bastard!
Your mind is corrupted by Western lies
Fuck you and your **** god, fuck you, fuck you!
He and Zé Ruela
**** from someone who has never read the Bible.
There is no point in discussing these issues or attacking the Bible, because people are slaves to religions and do not seek to escape this slavery, because it is better to live a lie than to face the truth. They do not seek to know what happened at the Council of Nicea, where Constantine completely altered the Bible, removing the truth and putting false information so that religious leaders could better control people.
True, besides David killing his faithful soldier to get his wife. This just proves that the Bible is true. God did not allow anything to be hidden, much less to publish only good things. He made a point of revealing the rottenness of human beings and showing that despite human wickedness, He is merciful and forgives everyone's sins. All the person has to do is be sincere and repent. God hates sin, but loves the sinner. You don't need to be part of a church or a denomination. All you have to do is be sincere with God, love Him with all your heart, fear Him, believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved.
You and Zenrieka yourself
I completely agree with you. These people are always looking for a needle in a haystack. God is the one who gives men wisdom, and He also gives them free will. Man uses the good that God gives him to do what he wants, but each one will be held accountable for everything! #Biblesacrada
I fully believe in your words, but you forgot that wisdom lies in understanding, not criticizing!
The ignorant believer spoke. The 3 most famous pyramids are from completely different eras, from very different and even very distant dynasties. Read any history book other than your Bible, which doesn't even mention India, China, much less Neanderthals and other human species in the glorious creation.
What about the dinosaurs? Were they revealed too? I don’t know…
Is everything in the Bible? That's right, don't make me laugh. The Bible is nothing more than a book of fables, full of plagiarism and appropriation of other people's culture.
In fact, the Bible is nothing more than plagiarism of the knowledge that the Jews passed through as slaves and plunderers, which they continue to do today. I do not understand how this Jewish doctrine dominated the West and to this day we are slaves to these lies.
THE OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE IS JUST A STORY OF LIES, SEE WHAT ISRAEL TODAY, A **** COUNTRY, DESTROYING GAZA, LEBANON, SYRIA WITH THE SUPPORT OF EUROPEANS AND AMERICANS SPECIALISTS IN STEALING FROM OTHER PEOPLES. THE BIBLE IS ONLY THE NEW TESTAMENT.
Do not be ignorant in your own understanding, try to broaden your horizons because not all the miracles that Jesus performed are in the Bible and God, knowing the heart of man today, would never reveal everything, because there are mysteries between heaven and earth that our vain philosophy can imagine. And you entered into a subject that has nothing to do with the way the pyramids were built 4 thousand years ago, another time and another dynasty. The Bible was created by its actors throughout the first century before and after Christ. Let us be more rational and less affective religious fundamentalists because the religious do not see the obvious of creation and are blind to the wonders of God.
I believe that a very advanced technology was used that has been lost, much superior to what we have today... They tried to build a smaller pyramid and it is unfinished, because we do not have the equipment necessary for this project. This mystery of the construction of the Egyptian pyramids will continue, as it is a remnant of pre-diluvian constructions.
Nowadays the PT is in action,,,
So there is no future!!!
Oh my. Just a few comments are enough to understand why we are where we are and what forces are working to make it happen. Brothers, spirituality should bring clarity, connection and wisdom. Haux.
There's always a crazy person, always, that's a plague worse than corruption!
