Introduction

Almost five thousand years ago, the Egyptian pharaoh Djoser and his brilliant architect Imhotep decided to erect a structure that the world had never seen - a colossal mountain of stone, built according to strict mathematical calculations, so strong that it would stand until the end of centuries. The construction of this first pyramid in the world lasted more than two decades, and the number of workers - prisoners of war, slaves, volunteers - was in the tens of thousands. Over the next two centuries, the Egyptian pharaohs, following the example of the first builders of the pyramid, erected their own tombs. During this relatively short period of time, the great pyramids were built, which to this day amaze and delight crowds of tourists. But the construction of these grandiose man-made mountains stopped as suddenly as it began. The pharaohs, as before, were content with more modest tombs.

The world's oldest and most massive monuments of stone - the Egyptian pyramids - were created to inspire and dazzle people. It is amazing with what interest people have always perceived the most incredible theories that arose about them. So, for example, one astronomer from Scotland saw in the dimensions of the Cheops pyramid not only the distance from the earth to the sun encoded in them and the time of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, but also the date of the future end of the world - 1881.

Despite all the apparent inviolability of the pyramids, ironically, they suffered not so much from the forces of nature as from the hands of man. The ancient Egyptians were the first vandals: they robbed their burial chambers and mercilessly tore off the limestone shell from them, using material for other buildings, etc. this barbarism continued into later times.

With the growth of tourism, the likelihood of damage to monuments has also increased. Crowds of tireless climbers rushed at the risk of their lives to the tops of the pyramids, causing irreparable damage to them. Thanks to a law passed in 1983 by the Egyptian authorities, the four tiny figures storming the Cheops pyramid in the photo above were among the last to do so, although tourists are still allowed to enter the pyramid.

Camel drivers and street vendors, who must have annoyed the Greek historian Herodotus with their appeals when he examined the pyramids, are now obliged to keep a decent distance from them.

The father of history “Herodotus called the Egyptian pyramids“ the first wonder of the world. ”The past millennia not only confirm this name, but more and more force researchers to consider this“ miracle ”the greatest and most mysterious of all known to mankind.

Miracle in the desert

The desert, rocky plateau of Giza, where the pyramid complex is located, has a flat shape, with a slight slope from west to east for 2 kilometers and from north to south - 1.3 kilometers and is now practically absorbed by Cairo. The complex located on it consists of three large pyramids, sphinx, and several small pyramids, temples, tombs of priests and officials. It is noteworthy that all sides of the pyramids are almost exactly oriented to the magnetic poles (deviation is only 3 degrees). At a distance of about 160 meters from the Pyramid of Cheops, the pyramid of Khafre (Khafre) rises, the height of which is 136.6 meters (previously 143.5), and the length of the sides is 210.5 meters. Visually, the pyramid of Khafre, which has retained 22 rows of facing, seems to be higher than the pyramid of Cheops. The effect is achieved due to the fact that its base is at a higher level. One of the most magnificent and well-preserved monumental structures of the Old Kingdom is the lower temple of Khafre. This temple, which is in the shape of a square with a side of 4.5 m, is built of large blocks of granite. Its walls have a slight slope, and in this regard, it gives the impression of a huge mastaba, especially from the side of the facade.

The pyramid of Mikerin (Menkaure), the smallest, is located 200 meters from the pyramid of Khafre. Its height is 62 meters, and the length of the sides is 108.4 meters. Initially, it was 4 meters taller, but the length of the sides was preserved, because the sand deposits protected the lower part of its cladding. This cladding - of red Aswan granite - originally covered the pyramid by almost a third of its height, then it was replaced by white slabs of Tours limestone, and the top, in all likelihood, was also red, granite. It was so two-colored back in the 16th century, until it was plundered.

To the south of the third pyramid are three small pyramids connected with it, surrounded by a common wall. The area of ​​the base of each of them is equal in size to 1/3 of the area of ​​the base of the Mykerin pyramid. It is believed that the wives of the pharaoh were buried in these pyramids. In one of the rooms associated with the Pyramid of Mikerin, the American archaeologist Reisner discovered during excavations four sculptural groups of slate, now called the Triads of Mikerin. Three of them are now in Cairo, one in Boston.

No dead bodies were found in any of the Pyramids, only empty sarcophagi.

The ventilation shafts of the Cheops Pyramid have raised a number of questions for a number of years. Previously, it was believed that the mines in the queen's chamber were unfinished, but research by Rudolf Gantenbrink, carried out in 1993, raised doubts about this assumption.

But let's start over. The so-called ventilation shafts run north and south of the burial chambers. They have an almost square cross-section (23 * 22 cm) and the following angles of deviation from the horizontal (as measured in 1993):

Northern shaft of the Tsar's chamber - 32 0 28 ", Southern shaft of the Tsar's chamber - 45 0, Northern shaft of the Queen's chamber - 37 0 28" ", Southern shaft of the Queen's chamber - 39 0 30"

The two shafts of the pharaoh's burial chamber have been known since the seventeenth century. John Greaves, professor of astronomy at Oxford, reported the existence of these mines after his famous survey of the Giza pyramids in 1638, mentioning that the northern mine was "blackened by torch fire." In 1693, de Maillet, the French consul general, also reported on his discovery of the mines and made the unusual conclusion that they served to drain food and remove garbage. ”British adventurer Colonel Weisz, along with his colleague, JS. Perring, discovered that the mines go out, this happened in 1837. At first, both researchers decided that the mines lead to some kind of room, although this passage was very small (23 by 22 centimeters), they abandoned their idea when they felt the air currents after clearing the northern mine. " They assumed that the shaft was created for ventilation; it was thanks to them that the expression "ventilation shaft" was fixed.

However, "such a ventilation" system is very little like the ventilation system of the houses of the Egyptians ... In order to ventilate the burial chambers in the Cheops pyramid, it would be wiser to place the shafts horizontally at the ceiling level than to make them inclined, starting one meter from the floor, at the level of the sarcophagus lid. It can be added that during the construction of an inclined shaft, builders have to deal with a host of problems when laying it through the tiers, which would not have happened if the ventilation shafts were horizontal. "

For some reason, the builders left the last 13 cm of the block at the entrance to the two ventilation shafts in the queen's chamber intact, so the fact that they did not serve for ventilation at all is beyond doubt. Only in 1872 Wayneman Dixon, by analogy with the Tsar's chamber, discovered them by tapping and made his way to a canal 20 cm high and 23 cm wide. After 2 meters, the canals went upwards at an angle. The Dixon brothers managed to make three small finds in the mines - the only items found in the Cheops Pyramid.

Given the above, it has been surmised that the shafts were not intended for ventilation at all; but served for purely religious purposes: "It is more likely that they played some role in the burial, perhaps being a way for the king's soul to escape."

Book on stones

Abbot More, by the way, believed that the architects of the Great Pyramid knew many other things, which they managed to embody in stone: the length of the leap year; the distance that the Earth travels in its orbit in 24 hours; the density of the Earth's matter, as well as the average temperature of our planet, since the thermal unit of the Great Pyramid is equal to the value of the average temperature of the Earth's surface, etc.

Research is even more intriguing. recent years, from which it follows that the sizes, sizes, weight and mutual distances from each other of the three pyramids and the Sphinx reflect the analogous relationship of the Sun, Venus, Earth and Mars with each other. And an in-depth analysis of the geometric relationships of the elements of the necropolis of Giza not only proved that its creators knew such a concept as the "golden ratio", but also miraculously linked the complex of the Giza pyramids with the "pyramids" and "face" of Sidonia on Mars!

This concept, for example, is subtly substantiated by a group of authors led by G. Hancock, which also shows that individual elements of the Giza complex may be much older than 5000 years, traditionally attributed to it by scientists, and more than 12,000 years old.

Secrets of the stone dungeons

And yet the mysteries of the external characteristics of the pyramids are nothing compared to what happens inside. The scientists were forced to pay attention to them by mysterious and almost detective stories. The most notorious case is the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923. The sensation spread all over the world, but after that inexplicable events began, symbolically later called the "curse of the pharaohs" - a more accurate name for this strange phenomenon in the human language was not found. Most of the members of the expedition - 11 people, led by its main sponsor and patron Lord Carnervon and scientific leader Howard Carter - died over the next six years for various reasons and under various circumstances, which outwardly are in no way connected with each other and cannot be connected if be guided by the human logic familiar to us. But in this case, obviously, it is not enough.

Are pyramids only in Egypt?

We say - "pyramids", immediately pops up - "Egypt". The simplest associative array, however, does not give a complete picture: the pyramids look into the sky from all corners of the globe. Egypt may be the centerpiece of the epic canvas, but not the only one. In France, in Brittany, 4 abandoned pyramids have survived, older than the Egyptian ones. In China, there is the Valley of the Pyramids, which are much larger than even the Pyramid of Cheops - the size of the highest is about 300 meters. America can be proud of the stepped pyramids, which were erected by the Maya Indians more than 3.5 thousand years ago; but that's not all - about one of Bahamas at the bottom of the sea, the ruins of a giant rectangular structure were discovered. Underwater research has shown that this is ... no, not a pyramid - a ruined and sunken city. However, it is noteworthy that the buildings were made of stone blocks weighing from 2 to 25 tons, and the blocks were as perfectly fitted to each other as the blocks of the Egyptian pyramids. The form is different - but the technology is the same. According to radiocarbon analysis, ancient city about 10 thousand years. At the foot extinct volcano, that next to Mexico City, under a layer of lava, the remains of a destroyed pyramid were found. If you remember that last eruption volcano occurred 8 thousand years ago, then the age of the Mexican pyramid is defined as "more than 8 thousand years." So the world is full of pyramids. It turns out that the ancient Egyptians did not have a "patent" for their construction. The pyramids are not a dislocation of the capricious imagination of the pharaohs, not a consequence of an elementary megalomania embodied in stone. The pyramids are more than the resting place of the rulers of Ancient Egypt. This, by the way, is unambiguously indicated by the following fact: not a single mummy has been found in any of the Egyptian pyramids until now. All the sarcophagi found in the pyramids are empty. Pharaohs rested in crypts and tombs in the Valley of the Kings, next to the pyramids - but not inside themselves!

Conclusion

Children love to play with cubes, moving them from place to place, building different shapes from them. A long time ago, thousands of years ago, when baobabs were big and people were small and in loincloths, they also played with dice. Only the cubes were huge, and the figure of them was almost always the same - a pyramid.

Many have tried to unravel the secrets of the pyramids. This structure is an insoluble puzzle of number combinations. The fantastic ingenuity, skill, time and labor of the architects of the pyramid, which they used in the construction of the eternal symbol, according to many researchers, indicate the extreme importance of the message that the ancient Egyptians wanted to convey to future generations.

The globe is studded with them, they are everywhere - in Africa, America, Europe and Asia. All civilizations have been sick with the pyramids. Is it possible now, after hundreds of centuries, to understand - what made humanity play such strange and identical games? And - were they games? ...

Even modern technologies do not have access to the engineering precision of the ancient constructions of the past peoples who inhabited Egypt. Huge Temples giant statues, huge pyramids - as if they appeared from Nothing, by some kind of space technologies.

Here are some facts that still only state the amazing secrets of the Pyramids:

- In 1978, the Japanese, using the proposed technology of overhead planes, were able to erect a Pyramid with a height of only 11 meters, which is 2367 times less than the total geometric volume of the Cheops Pyramid, this Pyramid alone would require segments with a total volume of 500,000 m3, if they were used tenfold ...

- For the construction of the Pyramid, in antiquity, about 50 million people would have been used, although according to experts, 3000 years BC. only 20 million people lived on Earth. How could the state have 2.5 times more people than there were in the whole world and how could they feed themselves?

- In 1930, the Frenchman Bovy constructed a wooden model of the Pyramid with a base one yard (91 cm) long and placed a dead cat in it, first orienting the model to the North. A few days later, the corpse of the cat was mummified. But until now, mummification is achieved by the most complex chemicals and technologies.

- The Czech radio engineer K. Drobanu, having oriented the axis of the model of his Pyramid exactly from North to South and placing a blunt razor blade in it, found that it had acquired the same sharpness.

- Hoping to find secret chambers inside the Pyramid of Khafre, Nobel Prize Laureate A.U. Alvarez in 1969, examining the background of cosmic rays penetrating into the ancient colossus, noticed that their trajectories recorded on different days were completely different, which, according to scientists , contradicts all known laws of science.

- The technology for creating the Pyramids and underground labyrinths, adits in all Pyramids is the same, although the difference in their construction is more than 1000 years. And what is surprising - the most Majestic Pyramids were created at the Dawn of Egyptian Civilization. And maybe at the Last Sunset ...?

- All boulders with sharp corners and smooth side surfaces are fitted to each other with millimeter precision, and the weight of one block is on average 2.5 tons.

- The height of the Great Pyramid is 146.595 meters. The difference between the sides of the base is only 0.83 mm. Each of the meanings of the pyramid carries information unattainable for the ancient Egyptians, and even in modern units of calculation.

- On the basis of the created “Clock of Isis” S. Proskuryakov developed systems for constructing graphical-numerical diagrams and, on the basis of mathematical relations, revealed the relationship of the Pyramid with all the physical and mathematical quantities of a cosmic nature known to us.

- The meridian passing through the Pyramid divides the continents and the ocean into two equal parts.

- The perimeter of the base, divided by twice the height, gives the famous Pi - 3.1416.

- The rocks on which the Pyramids are installed are perfectly aligned.

- The Pyramid of Cheops is installed in such a place in the desert that it is the center of gravity of the continents.

- In rock tunnels there is no completeness of walls and ceilings from torches. So the lighting was electric?

- The library in Oxford contains a manuscript in which the Coptic chronicler MAD-UDI claims that the Egyptian Pharaoh Zurid ordered to build The great pyramid... But Zurid ruled, according to legend, before the Flood. It was this Pharaoh who ordered the priests to write down the entire amount of wisdom and knowledge known to them and hide it inside the Pyramid.

- According to the recollections of “Herodotus” - “the father of history” it is said that the Egyptian priests showed him 341 colossal figures of high priests, from father to son, during his lifetime, making their own sculpture. Herodotus said that the priests assured that before the 341th generation, GODS still lived among people, this was about 11,350 years ago. And then the Gods did not visit them. The historical age of Egypt is estimated at only 6530 years. What kind of civilization was it before? Who were the ancestors of the Egyptian priests?

- The latest research from the American NASA satellites that visited Mars found on its surface the Pyramids and images of human faces-copies of the Sphinx on Earth. The construction of both of them was based on the same mathematical principles! The difference is only in size. It turns out that the first priests of Egypt, missionaries from Mars?

- According to the location of the 3 Pyramids in Giza, and the Nile encoded as the Milky Way, it is assumed, as it were, a visual reflection on the Earth of Sirius in the constellation Big Dog, which corresponds to the assumption that the civilizations of Mars and then the Earth were created by aliens from Sirius, who somehow came to us. Presumably, through information energy encoded in the beams of magnetic radiation from the Stars.

- The creation of the Pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty, which took 22 million tons of stone, presupposes careful preparation for some kind of global event. The scale of the structures shows that it was possible to finish the work in a hundred years and the construction proceeded according to a certain super-plan. 8 million blocks of rock were laid.

- During the subsequent construction, starting with the grandson of Cheops, the priests paid more attention not to architecture, but to the “magical” properties of “hieroglyphs” - the texts of the Pyramids - that appeared after the 4th dynasty, i.e. suddenly, it began to prevail as if some kind of mission had been accomplished, and the pyramids were cosmic launch sites reception and launch (reincarnation, non-materialization) of aliens.

- If you look closely, then the tops of the Pyramids are deliberately not finished, as they are the tops of the antenna of the emitter - the receiver of some cosmic energy materialized into information, at the light-wave level. Since Energy and information are basically the same, it is likely that the ancient priests of Egypt possessed knowledge of the transformation of Matter at the wave level. After all, there is still no answer to the question why the speed of light is constant, passing from any Star Millions of light years?

- It has been observed that the galleries in the Great Pyramid of Cheops have a tangent ratio of 1 / 2 angles of 26 degrees 34 minutes, which is, according to the latest achievements of Genetics, a combination of two values: 26 degrees is the ascent angle of the DNA helix, and 34 angstroms is the length of its period. But it is known that the genetic code of all organisms on Earth, from microbe to Human, is the same. This means that in past Civilizations, the foundations of thinking are similar to ours.

- The number "Pi" is the key to the secrets of the Egyptian Pyramids, but after all, the number "Pi" is directly connected with the "Golden Section" of Leonardo da Vinci, the "Golden Wurf" by Corbusier, as well as the "Numbers of Fibonnaci", which again constitute the Pyramid of perfect numbers.

- In ancient times, a “pyramidal” stone - “PYRAMIDION” - called BENBEN was installed on the flat, unfinished edge of the Pyramid. It symbolized, as it were, the cosmic “CITY OF THE SUN”, from which the “rays of the sun”, the facets, seemed to break through.

- Initially, the tops of the pyramids were lined with slabs of gold and semiprecious stones, on which the texts of the entire history of civilizations of past times were carved, but over time they were torn off by barbarians.

- According to the found papyri "Book of the Dead", according to the wall texts of the tombs, it is determined that the Pyramids were built to perform the ritual of stellar rebirth. It was the written word that, after the 4th dynasty, replaced some kind of super mechanism that had been built for more than a hundred years, or maybe just restored, to move in space. It can be assumed that the displacement occurred or a failure, an accident occurred, which led to the emergence of magical symbolism of secret knowledge, presented to ordinary people as “miracles”, and for the initiated by coding, through the mysteries of the knowledge of ancient Civilizations. Is it self-defense or fear of the future based on the experience of the past?

- After research on a computer, scientists calculated that there is a SIRIUS-B Star near the SIRIUS-A Star, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. Although there is information about such a Star in the secret knowledge of the "Dogon", the ideas of which date back to 3200 BC. Sirius-B is like the “son” of “father” Sirius and “mother” of “Orion”, which is the reincarnation of “father” into “son”.

All the facts speak for the fact that "stellar" pregnancy "Sirius" is 280 days. Pharaoh's reincarnation lasts 280 days, according to legend, 280 days is a person's pregnancy.

- In modern chronology, there were a total of 31 dynasties of the pharaohs during the period from 3100 BC. and until 332 BC There were 390 monarchs in total. Thereafter, Egypt ruled from 332 BC. and to date, 49 more dynasties, which included:

Macedonian Greeks (Ptolemaic period 332-30 BC)

Romans (Roman emperors 30 BC - 641 AD)

Arabs (642 AD - Present).

As you can see: Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome The Arabs keep in their roots the history of secret knowledge about the Pyramids, about the Civilizations of the past, about the Mysteries.

- For the Egyptians, "ROMBOID" - the egg of the world was in the form of "OCTAHEDRE" (two pyramids joined by bases): which in Christianity gradually turned into just an egg for Easter, although the paintings on it are still pyramidal in nature.

- Golgotha, where Christ was crucified, resembled a Pyramid in shape.

- Until now, on Easter, symbolic Pyramids are made from cheese.

- The perspective of the picture, the TV screen and the eye that perceives them, isn't it a pyramid?

- When drawing in two-dimensional space of three-dimensional, a Pyramid is drawn in depth "as if", where the top is the horizon line.

- If we assume that the rays of energy hitting the inner faces of the Pyramid will be reflected in them, then we will get a kind of accumulation of internal energy, like the concentration of energy in a laser.

- If we take the image of a pyramid from ancient manuscripts, then it is represented by the letter L - delta, as it looks like the first letter A in all the alphabets of the world.

- The symbol of the delta, HA - in the YOGA of the ancient Hindus, symbolizes the masculine principle, a conductor of positive energy, symbolizes the Moon.

- Two triangles (deltas with a top up and deltas with a top down) superimposed on each other symbolize HATHA (sign of Vishnu) harmony, balance.

Star of Solomon, Solomon Seal, Sri Antra Brahmins, six directions of space, a symbol of the fusion of pure spirit and matter. Are these symbols echoes of secret prehistoric knowledge, past civilizations of the Neolithic era, matriarchy and patriarchy?

- The very first and main pose of yogis, the LOTUS pose, reminds first of all the Pyramid.

- Five PLATO BODIES can be folded from the pyramid.

- Perspective and everything that we perceive visually is based on the principles of pyramidality.

- If you dock the tops of the pyramids, you get the symbolic "Time Clock", which after some time has to be turned over and in a new way the time begins to run, well, isn't it allegorical in relation to the repetition of everything and everything in the world, at certain intervals?

- The eye arranged in a pyramid is an echo of the symbolism of the Sun God-Ra, in Ancient Egypt, in the Christian religion.

- In meditation, there is a symbol of concentration of energy, when the fingers of the hands are crossed in the form of a triangle-pyramid.

- According to the ideas of the Ancients (according to H.P. Blavatsky), people belong to the fifth race, which is like the pinnacle of the four previous races - the foundations:

1 race - Giants (from another star of Sirius or the planet Mars).

Race 2 - Mixture with terrestrial creatures.

Race 3 - Hermaphrodites are bisexual.

4 race - Atlanteans (inhabitants of Atlantis)

5 race is our humanity.

6 race - i.e. the top of the pyramid, it will presumably be radically opposite to the Human race - it will be technotronic, where biorobots will be in the foreground, with their new criteria.

7 race - i.e. a pyramidal crystal consisting of two pyramids joined by bases is the most important symbol explaining the entire principle of the Universe. This is the concluding phase of Civilizations, after which everything must start all over again, i.e. first turning into NOTHING, and then from NOTHING will appear.

- According to the ancient Mysteries - repositories of ancient knowledge, the motto of the ancient sages - Adepts, occultists is: "What is above, then below." The ancestor of the occultists was HERMES - the Egyptian God, thrice great, who transmitted secret knowledge to the priests, through the art of Magic. The symbol of his teachings was TRANSMIST, a crystal resembling an OCTAEDRE (two pyramids joined by bases).

- The crystal lattice of DIAMOND, the hardest crystal on earth, even with the degrees of inclination of the faces, is completely analogous to the pyramidal crystal of two pyramids.

- During the floods of the Nile, thousands of years ago, the dazzlingly bright Pyramids were reflected in the sky-blue water, and each of them was an image of a double mountain symbolizing: the reflection of the upper world, where the Pyramids are directed, in the lower one. And when the Nile changed its course, artificial lakes were created around the Pyramids for a long time, performing the same function of a mirror. If we imagine the truncated top of the Pyramid as a radiator of the information energy accumulated inside, then it is obvious that the Pyramid looks like a segment that concentrates reflected energy from a “thicket” - a plate - a lake around the Pyramid, focusing it in space. Something like a hyperbolic antenna. Nostradamus wrote that the mirror (as well as the Mages) is one of the main Attributes (along with the tripod, also similar to the Pyramid) of Magic, with the help of which he traveled through time and space. Those. it can be assumed that the pyramids were stations for travelers - priests - aliens, in the past, present and future.

- In ancient times, all cultures displayed dualism, this is especially noticeable in the pyramidal crystal, where the pyramid with its top upwards symbolizes good, and downwards - evil. For all peoples, a tree was considered a symbol of duality - called the "WORLD TREE", remember the tree on New Year, doesn't it resemble the Pyramid? Man, animal plant, etc. everything is dual. It's like a worldwide insurance code, a duplication of the same thing. In Biochemistry, this phenomenon is called CHIRALITY (like a reflection in a mirror, where the left changes to the right). Water molecules can be represented in the form of a bipyramid (a pyramidal crystal, where the important corner points, the angles of the base of the pyramids, correspond to the atoms of only four elements):

1-Н-hydrogen 2-С-carbon 3-0-oxygen 4-N-nitrogen

- The Maya depicted double worlds using two stepped Pyramids connected by bases:

Sun-1

(daytime sun)

Sky

Dwelling of the gods

LAND - LIVING LIVING (connection line)

Underworld

Dwelling of the dead

Sun-2

(night sun)

— Ancient civilization The Egyptians distinguished between the worlds of the gods and the dead, surrounding the world of the living. And just like the Maya, they proved the duality and unity of the worlds with the help of the Sun:

SUN 1

(RA, PTAKH, ATUM, ATON, ROR)

Heavenly world of light

EARTH - THE WORLD OF THE LIVING

Realm of the dead, world of darkness

SUN-2

(OSIRIS, SETH, AMON)

- A pile (like a pyramid), made of stone, tsebnya, is capable of producing water from the air, even in the desert, i.e. in contact with stones, the steam is cooled, condenses and turns into a liquid. Drops are formed flowing down, giving birth to a water skating rink. Even Herodotus wrote about two Pyramids standing up to the "waist" in the water, which were about 180 m high?

- It is known from crystallography that any crystal tends to energy balance, i.e. any incomplete crystal form will heal itself sooner or later. If we consider the pyramid, then the lateral faces are larger in area than the base, in order to restore symmetry it needs to "grow" downward with another pyramid, i.e. form from open should become closed, but this will be a bipyramid (pyramidal crystal 0.

- In the cards of the tambourine - a rhombus means WISDOM, respectively: PEAK-POWER (arrow-target), WORM (symbol of love, heart), CROSS (symbol of faith, shamrock, Christianity).

- The pyramids, as a result, were not built anywhere in the church. They were located above deep faults in the earth's crust. It is over these places that abnormal zones, UFOs appear, some miraculous phenomena appear. The Great Pyramids are located in the zone of the grandiose East African Rift, which gave rise to the Red and Dead Seas, as well as the Nile River, the largest in the world.

- A pyramid, a large copy of a certain crystal, like any crystal, it has its own closed energy grid, if it is broken, an energy release will occur, maybe that's why the pyramid crystal was made unfinished (top) and the crystal became an antenna for the release or absorption of energy. To which the ancients also added the energy of human emotions, reason, prayers, which in the vortex flow of Nature and the thoughts of a person, people, mix and, as it were, create a common unison. Here is the Magic of the relationship between NATURE and MAN. Pyramids are some kind of psychotronic generators, where the energy of the Pyramid affects a person, at the level of consciousness and those biological processes taking place in his body at the cellular level.

- The pyramids are "TIME MACHINES", where time slows down - top up and accelerates - top down. Of natural formations, the Earth itself is the largest time machine. In its northern hemisphere, as in a pyramid with its top up, time slows down, and in the southern hemisphere it accelerates. For this reason, the main part of the continental massifs is concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and in the southern hemisphere, depressions filled with water.

I think, dear reader, the above facts interested you, but this is only the beginning of an amazing journey into the WORLD of PYRAMIDALITY. In subsequent chapters, we will consider the pyramidal nature of the World and the Universe, the pyramidal nature of Philosophy and Truth, the pyramidal nature of Politics and Economics, the pyramidal nature of Nature and Man, the pyramidal nature of Will and Success.

But I want to warn in advance, more you will rise above others in their knowledge and capabilities, the more YOU are receding from each other, ANY GREATNESS LEADS TO loneliness AS CHAOS your basement in thinking, in POVEDINII will gradually be concentrated at the apex of SVERHPONIMANIYA TOTAL AND EVERYTHING, YOU AS A CHESS PLAYER WILL MAKE YOUR VICTORIES, ONE BY ANOTHER, THAT AT THE END OF THE ENDS WILL LEAVE YOU ONE ON THE CHESS BOARD.

Per Egyptian pyramids a strange feature was noticed: they are capable of destroying modern precision equipment. And according to some information, up to 80% of electronic devices that have visited the pyramids are built. According to the stories of old Cairo residents, in 1967, during the Arab-Israeli war, three Israeli planes passing at low level flight over the pyramids of Giza, for some unknown reason, crashed into the sand. The Arabs attribute this to the "curse of the pharaohs." Independent researchers believe that a powerful electromagnetic emitter is located inside the pyramids.
An examination of the pyramids with a thermal imaging system showed that there are several powerful heat sources inside the pyramids. Ancient power plants? The legendary "perpetual motion machine"? The results of the study, which is not surprising, were attributed to errors of the device, especially since after the expedition it really began to malfunction.
The pyramid building technologies seem to be very different from those used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, described by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. It was hardly about tens of thousands of slaves. What could he have known about ancient Egyptian technologies when more than two millennia separated him from the construction of the pyramids at Giza? He outlined only his ideas and judgments of the ancient Egyptian priests of his day.
Archaeologist and surveyor Flinders Petrie, researched and outlined his findings about the construction technologies thereof. In his opinion, at the disposal of the ancient craftsmen were tools of this type, "which we have only recently invented." Petri carefully examined the sarcophagus of the Cheops pyramid and said that it had been cut from a granite block with saws "not less than 2.5 Peter's in length." This granite is of very high strength. It was assumed that the saws were made of bronze, and the cutting edges were equipped with very strong stones. Diamonds?
Even more mysterious is the treatment of the internal cavity of the sarcophagus. It is much more difficult than carving from a block of rock. For this, the Egyptians had to “switch from reciprocating to rotary cutting, by rolling the saw into a pipe, making circular grooves with the formed tubular drill. The diameter of these tubular drills was in the range of 6 - 130 millimeters, the width of the cutting edge was from 0.8 to 5 millimeters. " Of course, Flinders admits that no one has been able to find the diamond saws and drills themselves. The nature of the surfaces processed by drilling and sawing showed the existence of such tools among the ancient Egyptians.


The more deeply the scientist explored, the more mysterious the stone-cutting technology of the ancients became. "The magnitude of the cutting forces is surprising, as evidenced by the speed with which the drills and saws passed through the stone," writes Petri, "apparently, when drilling granite with 100 mm drills, they were subjected to a load of at least two tons."
Over 4500 years ago, the ancient Egyptians by the technology of the industrial era? Drilling machines with a spindle force of more than a ton, allowing them to drill through hard stones like oil.
Diorite bowls from the 4th dynasty ... Diorite is one of the hardest stones on the planet, it is harder than iron. And the hieroglyphs on the bowls were cut with an extremely sharp instrument, and not scratched, as evidenced by the edges of the lines. “Since the width of the lines is 0.17 millimeters, the hardness of the cutting edge must be higher than that of quartz and tough enough not to crumble with such a sharp edge (about 0.13 mm). It is known that it was possible to engrave parallel lines with a pitch of 0.8 mm. " What kind of instrument it was, how they maintained such a high accuracy, how they worked with it is a mystery.
The pyramids were built using close to modern technologies. They contain proportions that testify to the brilliant knowledge of the ancients in the field of mathematics. The angle of inclination of the side faces of the Cheops pyramid (52 degrees) is chosen so that the initial height of the monument is 146.6 meters, the perimeter of the base is 920.85 meters, are in the same relation as the radius of the sphere with its circumference. The ratio is equal to 2p. That is, the Egyptians used this number before its discovery by the ancient Greeks. In addition, in the layout of the Cheops pyramid, the “rule of the golden section” was used, which has been known to architects since the Middle Ages. The height of the pyramid is exactly one billion times less than the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
If for academic science the age of the pyramids fluctuates within the XXVU-XXV centuries BC, then atlantologists assume much larger deviations from these dates.
The Arab historian of the 9th century Ibn Abd Chokmah said about the construction of the pyramids: “Most agree that the first pyramids were built by Sorid ibn Solyuk, the pharaoh of Egypt, who ruled three hundred years before the flood. The reason was that he saw in a dream that the whole earth had turned upside down ... People lay with their faces down, and the stars fell and hit each other with a terrible roar. Waking up in horror, he gathered the high priests of all the provinces of Egypt, a total of one hundred and thirty people, led by Aklimon, and told them everything. They measured the heights of the stars and, after making calculations, predicted a catastrophe. "
Sorid (Zared) built 30 treasuries in the pyramid. He filled them with gold, gems, jewelry, stainless weapons, vessels, ceramics, and also, according to the ancient author, shatterproof glass that can be bent. 1000 years before the invention of stainless steel and plastics, the author must have known about their existence.
It is interesting, but recently there have been new dating of the age of the Sphinx, made by the nature of its water erosion. Dating approaches the hypothetical times of the Great Flood, possibly in the ninth millennium BC. The heavy rains necessary for the observed erosion of the Sphinx stopped falling in Egypt thousands of years before the Sphinx was built, according to Egyptologists. Then, according to Egyptology, the Nile Valley was inhabited only by primitive hunters, gatherers of the Neolithic, with tools such as sharpened pieces of flint and sticks ...

Everyone knows how many interesting, sometimes amazing scientific discoveries were made by scientists on the ancient Egyptian land. Her tombs and temples gave a lot of miraculous finds. But the greatest miracle of Egypt, which amazed people even in antiquity, was the pyramids - these amazing artificial mountains - the tombs of the ancient Egyptian kings. Travelers sailing on the yellow waters of the Nile were always struck by the sharp edge where the Nile Valley, with its green fields and date groves, is replaced by the hot sands of the dead Libyan desert.

These are the Egyptian pyramids.

They seem to grow out of the desert sands - colossal, majestic, overwhelming a person with their extraordinary size and severity of outlines. Standing at the foot of the pyramid, it is difficult to imagine that these huge stone mountains were created by human hands. And yet they were really made of separate boulders, as in our time children put together pyramids from cubes. Thousands of hands of slaves and Egyptians subject to Pharaoh were busy with hard and useless work - creating a huge stone mountain, which was supposed to hide in its bowels the dead body of the Egyptian king.

By creating an eternal tomb, Pharaoh provided an eternal dwelling place for his immortal spirit.

Pharaoh Djoser was the first of the Egyptian kings to erect a pyramid over his tomb. This very ancient pyramid Egypt has six huge steps. Before the construction of the first pyramid in Egypt, tombs were erected with a massive rectangular above-ground part made of stone. In form, they resemble Arab benches - mastabas - and under this name they entered science. Djoser's pyramid was essentially six such mastabas, stacked one on top of the other, decreasing upward. Creation of the world's first stone structure such a significant size (height about 60 m) is attributed to Imhotep - a remarkable medical scientist, mathematician and architect, the former vizier of Tsar Djoser. The glory of Imhotep was so great that after several centuries his name was surrounded by legends. From a later time, figurines have been preserved depicting this remarkable architect. Apparently, Pharaoh Djoser himself was so pleased with the unprecedented tomb built by Imhotep that he allowed the name of the architect to be carved on the base of his statue - an honor completely unheard of in ancient egypt... During the excavation of the funeral temple, located near the pyramid of Djoser, scientists found fragments of several statues of the pharaoh and among them a pedestal on which the name of Imhotep was written.

Excavations near the pyramid of Djoser revealed a whole "city of the dead" that surrounded the tomb of the pharaoh. Mastabas were built around - the tombs of members of the royal family and nobles close to the pharaoh. There was also a memorial temple where sacrifices were performed in honor of the deceased pharaoh. During the excavation of the temple, archaeologists discovered a hall decorated with the world's oldest columns. True, these were not yet ordinary round columns, they only half protruded from the walls, but Imhotep long before the Greek architects created the prototype of the strict and slender Dorian colonnade.

The funeral temple and the pyramid were surrounded by a white limestone wall and, according to the architect's plan, constituted a single architectural ensemble.

The space near the pyramid was thoroughly studied by archaeologists at the beginning of our century. However, the Egyptian scientist Mohammed Goneim drew attention to one of the terraces southeast of the pyramid of Djoser. A careful examination carried out by Goneim discovered the remains of stone walls, fragments of processed limestone and alabaster, Goneim decided to excavate. The work uncovered the remains of a masonry made of large rough stones. It was the foundation of a massive fence, the same one that once surrounded the pyramid of Djoser. The top of this fence was dismantled in antiquity. Then a well-preserved part of the fence was opened under a thick layer of sand and rubble - the workers called it the White Wall. It was magnificent - faced with polished white limestone, decorated with ornate ledges. Undoubtedly, the wall enclosed the pyramid. But where are the traces of the tomb itself, as ancient as the still unique pyramid of Djoser?

Goneim decided to look for the remains of the pyramid in the center of the site and was right. From under a multi-meter thick layer of sand, rubble and construction debris, a massive lower step of an ancient tomb appeared. The height of the step was 7 m. Goneim determined that this pyramid should have had seven steps. Consequently, she was one step higher than the famous pyramid of Djoser. The height of the open pyramid was supposed to reach 70 m. But if the remains of the pyramid were buried under a deep layer of sand, then the burial itself is intact. I had to look for him. Near the lower step of the pyramid, a passage was found carved into the rock. It was a long, forking corridor.

In some of the galleries, things were found that only increased the interest in the central burial, proving that the tomb was not robbed in ancient times. Goneim found many stone and clay vessels, gold jewelry, a lapping box made of gold, a large number of beautiful porphyry bowls.

But the most valuable find were seals on small vessels made of dark red clay. On the seals, Goneim read the name Sechemhet, which meant "mighty in body" - it was the still unknown name of the pharaoh of one of the most ancient dynasties. Interest in the unknown ruler, buried in the pyramid, increased even more. Egyptian newspapers were full of articles with cryptic and sensational headlines like: "The shining of gold from the tomb of the pharaoh" or "Gold deposits of an unfinished pyramid." Everyone was eagerly following the progress of the work. After a long search, many disappointments, with great risk (several times stones fell in the underground passages), the scientist managed to get into the tomb.

In the unfinished, hastily cut down the central hall (construction waste was not removed, but only dumped into the adjacent galleries) there was a magnificent alabaster sarcophagus. When the archaeologist carefully examined the sarcophagus, he was amazed - the sarcophagus had no lid. Carved from a solid block of alabaster, it was closed on the front side by a door that lowered and raised in grooves. With excitement, Goneim became convinced that, after the sarcophagus was placed in the tomb, no one touched it - on top was a funeral wreath of decayed flowers and herbs, or rather what remained of the funeral wreath laid on the sarcophagus 4700 years ago ...

On the day designated for the opening of the sarcophagus of the hitherto unknown pharaoh, the underground crypt was filled with a crowd of Egyptologists, photo and film reporters, and journalists. With bated breath, the assembly watched as the workers began to lift the heavy alabaster door. In deep silence the sarcophagus was opened. It was empty. Shocked, Goneim carefully examined the sarcophagus. On its walls there were only traces left by the tools with which the craftsmen drilled and hollowed out the inside of the sarcophagus. No one was ever buried in this magnificent tomb. Rubble and construction debris not removed from galleries and passages, an unfinished view of the tomb itself, an unfinished pyramid, an empty sarcophagus - all this presented a mystery to Egyptologists.

The mystery of the unfinished pyramid was difficult to unravel. Perhaps the pharaoh, for whom the tomb was intended, died unexpectedly, and his successor did not consider it necessary to continue construction. Maybe there were some more important events, unknown to us (as unknown until recently was the name of the king Sechemkhet himself), which forced the pharaoh to suddenly interrupt the construction of the pyramid. The secret remains a secret. But the riddles that arose before scientists, sooner or later, are solved by them. This was the case with many other monuments discovered on ancient Egyptian soil.

Much was also unclear in the largest pyramid built by Pharaoh Khufu (or Cheops in Greek), who lived in the XXVIII century. BC.

This huge pyramid has been standing for almost five thousand years. Its height reached 147 m (now, due to the collapse of the summit, its height is 137 m), and each side is 233 m long. In order to go around the Khufu pyramid in a circle, you need to walk about a kilometer. Until the end of the 19th century. the pyramid of Khufu was the tallest structure on earth. Its immense size amazed everyone who was in Egypt. No wonder the first Russian travelers who came to Egypt called the pyramids "man-made mountains".

Scientists have calculated that the Khufu pyramid was composed of 2,300,000 huge blocks of limestone, smoothly polished, and each of these blocks weighed more than two tons. The carefully hewn and polished limestone blocks were so skillfully fitted one to the other that it was impossible to insert a knife blade into the gap between the two stones.

The stones were tightly adjacent to one another and held on by their own weight. The accuracy of the work of masons and grinders is surprising, especially if you imagine that the ancient artisans, who created such grandiose monuments of human labor, still used stone tools. In the quarries on the right bank of the Nile, not far from ancient capital Egypt Memphis, thousands of workers mined stone for the construction of the pyramid. Along the boundaries of the stone block marked on the limestone rock, the workers gouged deep grooves in the stone. This work took a lot of effort and labor. After hollowing out depressions in the furrow, the workers hammered wedges of dry wood into them and poured water over them. The wet tree began to swell, the crack widened, and a lump broke off from the rock. The chipped stone was pulled out of the quarries using thick ropes woven from papyrus (such ropes were found in ancient quarries). Limestone boulders were then hewn away by stonecutters here and there together. Stonemasons worked with a variety of tools made of wood, stone and copper. This work, of course, was easier than the work of quarrying the stone, but even here it was necessary to work from dawn to dawn under the scorching sun. In the famous teaching of the ancient Egyptian scribe Ahtoy, in which he tells his son Piopi about various professions, it is said: and his back is bent. " This lesson was written by a scribe who lived in the era of the Middle Kingdom. And the pyramids were built many centuries before that, and it is unlikely that the work of the stonecutter of that time was easier than in the time of the scribe Akhtoy. Blocks of white facing limestone on boats were transported to the other side of the Nile. They were brought to the construction site by loading them onto special wooden skids. Ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the 5th century. BC, was the first scientist who reported in detail the information he had collected about the pyramids. The work of Herodotus was a vast narrative, consisting of nine books, in one of which he described his journey to Egypt. The first chapter of the famous "History" of Herodotus, began with the words: "The following research Herodotus Halicarnassus presents in order that from time to time the deeds of people are not erased from our memory, and also so that huge and worthy constructions, executed partly by Hellenes, partly by barbarians, are not ingloriously forgotten." ... Herodotus conscientiously and thoroughly recorded the stories of the Egyptians about how the pyramids were created. The road alone, along which the stones were delivered from the quarries to the place where the pyramid was erected, took about ten years to build. This road itself, wide, lined with polished stone on the sides, decorated with various images, according to Herodotus, was an amazing structure.

After the stonemasons, the face of the facing stone was processed by grinders. They worked with grinding stone, water and sand. As a result of long-term processing, the surface of the slab became smooth and shiny. After that, the stones were considered ready for construction.

On a limestone rock, cleared of sand, gravel and stone, the builders erected a huge pyramid, laying blocks in giant steps. Among these blocks, according to Herodotus, there was not a single one that did not reach 9 m.

According to the story of Herodotus, in order to drag the stone blocks up, an inclined embankment was built. Subsequently, it was leveled. On it, the builders, driven by the sticks of the overseers, pulled heavy stones on the ropes, which, with the help of a wooden lever, were set in place. How many people died under the weight of a broken stone block, how many were crippled while laying stones, how many died from backbreaking labor here, near the walls of the pyramid that were still unfinished! And this has been going on for twenty long years. When the laying of the pyramid was completed, its steps were laid with facing blocks. They were brought from quarries located in Upper Egypt, near Aswan. On the ledges of the pyramid, the facing blocks were lifted up and laid from top to bottom. Then they were polished. Under the rays of the southern sun, they shone with dazzling brilliance against the background of the cloudless Egyptian sky. Herodotus says that the construction of the Khufu pyramid lasted about twenty years. Every three months, workers changed, the number of which reached 100,000. The scourge of overseers, exhausting heat, inhuman labor did their job. After all, there were no machines for lifting two-ton limestone boulders. Everything was done only with the help of human strength. Even if you accept it. Considering that Herodotus made a number of obvious exaggerations and inaccuracies, the figures he cited still give an idea of ​​the grandiose scope of the work undertaken by Cheops to create a colossal tomb.In the same story, Herodotus mentions an inscription made on the pyramid, which indicated the amount, spent on onions, garlic and radishes for workers. 0 equaled 1,600 talents. "If this is really so," Herodotus exclaims, "how much should be spent on iron tools for work, food and clothing for workers?"

The entire burial structure was almost continuous masonry. The entrance to the pyramid was always located on its northern edge, at a height of about 14 m from the ground. There were several chambers inside the pyramid, of which only two were burial chambers. One, the lower one, as scientists assume, was intended for the king's wife. The second, somewhat larger (10.6 X 5.7 m), located at a height of 42.5 m from the base of the pyramid, served as the tomb of the pharaoh himself. It contained a sarcophagus of red polished granite. Above the tsar's burial chamber, one above the other, there are five deaf chambers, apparently intended to distribute pressure above the chamber. Several narrow and long passages are laid in the thickness of the pyramid, leading to the chambers inside the pyramid and to the chamber dug under its base. Scientists also traced two ventilation slots that penetrated the thickness of the masonry and went from the chamber of Cheops himself. When clearing the surface of the pyramid, on many blocks, marks made with red paint and containing the name of Pharaoh Khufu were found. Parts of the ancient facing were discovered by archaeologists when the bottom of the pyramid, covered with sand, was cleared. The tiling of the facing stones was so perfect that it was impossible to immediately determine the places of their connection. And when photographing this cladding, the researchers had to specially paint the seams where the blocks closed. We can safely say that none of the kings who ruled after Khufu could surpass his tomb in size and grandeur, but the name of the pharaoh, who decided to glorify himself by building a pyramid of unprecedented magnificence, was hated by the Egyptian population for many centuries.

The second largest pyramid after the tomb of Khufu is the pyramid of Pharaoh Khafre (Khafre). It is 8 m lower, but less destroyed. The top of the pyramid has retained some of the polished cladding. The rest of the pyramids are much smaller, and many of them have collapsed badly.

Near the Khafra pyramid, a hill rises from the sand of the desert. Its height is about 20 m, length is about 60 m. Approaching the hill, travelers see a huge statue, carved almost entirely from the rock. This is the famous big sphinx - the figure of a reclining lion with a human head. His face was cracked, and his nose and chin were chipped off. So Muslim Arabs crippled a statue that stood for millennia. The Arabs believed that evil spirits lived in the statues of the ancient Egyptian gods, and therefore tried to destroy as many of their images as possible. With such a giant as the big sphinx, they could not cope, but they disfigured him thoroughly.

"Father of Terror" - this is how the inhabitants of the desert call the great sphinx. He instills the greatest fear in them at night, illuminated by a bright moon, when deep shadows give his features a special expressiveness.

Whom does this colossal statue represent, why did it end up in such close proximity to the pyramids? On the head of the statue is a bandage worn only by the pharaohs. Scientists believe that this is a statue of Pharaoh Khafre, which was part of a number of structures associated with the tomb of the pharaoh.

In ancient Egypt, not every mortal had the right to approach the pyramid - this "eternal horizon", beyond which the pharaoh "went" (they did not say about the pharaoh that he died - he "went" beyond the horizon, like the sun; Egyptian kings called themselves sons sun). In order for those who wish to be able to honor the memory of the deceased pharaoh without offending his greatness, a memorial temple was erected at some distance from the pyramid - something like a reception hall of the deceased king. Massive rectangular pillars of polished granite supported the ceiling. The granite walls and floor of the building have been carefully polished.

The light fell from small holes punched in the upper part of the walls, and created a solemn twilight, in which the dark statues of the Pharaoh - the ruler, who received respectful guests, seemed especially majestic. From this ceremonial hall a long covered corridor led to the pyramid. Its walls and floor were also made of polished granite. The body of the pharaoh was carried along this corridor into the pyramid in a heavy sarcophagus made of a valuable stone.

In order to preserve the body of the king from decay, which was the abode of his soul (the Egyptians called it Ka), he was embalmed. A detailed story about the embalming process was preserved to us by the ancient Greek writer Diodorus, who lived in the 1st century. AD Herodotus also speaks of the embalming of the dead. The deceased was brought into the embalming room. The corpse was laid on the floor and a man approached him, who was called the scribe of the sign. On the left side of the body, he marked with a line the place where the incision was to pass. Then another person approached and made an incision on the corpse with an Ethiopian stone, after which he fled, since, according to custom, all those present were throwing stones at him with curses. These curses were an ancient religious ritual associated with mutilation of the deceased. After that, the embalmers proceeded directly to the body. One with iron hooks through the nostrils removed a part of the brain from the skull. The remaining brain was dissolved by injecting various potent drugs. Through a wound in the side, the entrails were removed, which were washed with palm wine and fragrant essences. Then they were wrapped in a thin linen cloth and put into special canopy vessels made of clay, alabaster or porphyry. Canopy lids were made in the form of different heads. The stomach and intestines were folded into a canopy with a lid depicting a human head, lungs and a heart lay in a canopy with a jackal's head, and a vessel with a feline head was intended for the liver. At this time, the body of the deceased was first rubbed with cedar oil and washed inside with palm wine. Then they put it in a special alkaline solution for 40 days. Then it was washed again with wine and impregnated with various aromatic resins to prevent decay. After filling the inside of the body with aromatic substances, the incision was sewn up and the embalmed corpse was handed over to special dressing-people who decorated it. Often they gilded nails on hands and feet, and inserted eyes of crystal or ivory. Rings were put on the fingers and toes. Having dressed up the deceased in this way, the dressing-men covered the whole body with a layer of glue and began to wrap it with thin linen bandages. They wrapped, carefully wrapping, fingers and toes and the whole body several times, so that the length of these bandages was several hundred meters. Thus, a mummy was prepared - an imperishable abode for the spirit of Ka, which was to live forever.

The same Diodorus says that when the king of Egypt was dying, a long mourning was imposed on the whole country, lasting seventy-two days. The temples were locked, they did not bring sacrifices to the gods, they did not celebrate any celebrations, they did not anoint themselves with incense. All these days, the Egyptians did not eat meat, wine, or flour food. Throwing dust on their heads, crowds of men and women roamed the city with plaintive chants praising the virtues of the deceased Pharaoh. On the day designated for burial, the sarcophagus with the embalmed body of the pharaoh was placed on special runners decorated with rich carvings and paintings, and with solemn ceremonies saw off on the last journey the deceased Vladyka, the "son of the sun," who had gone to the gods. The sarcophagus with the body of the king was placed in a crypt inside the pyramid, the granite walls and ceiling of which were carefully polished.

Pharaoh's relatives and priests took care that the deceased was not in danger in the afterlife, that he could move freely inside his tomb and that the gods would accept him as an equal. Therefore, often the walls of the rooms inside the pyramids are dotted with prayers and spells. The doors that led from one room to another or from the corridor to the cell were subjected to a particularly careful spell. In the pyramid of Pharaoh VI of the Pepi dynasty, a whole hymn is written near the first door, where it is stated that these "doors of heaven" are opened only for Pepi, and not for anyone else. A text is written in front of another door, ending with the words: "When Pepi comes with his Ka, the door must open. This pyramid of Pepi and his Ka is dedicated." On the walls adjacent to the doors, there are images of door guards - baboons, wolves, lions, and spells against them and evil demons who threaten the deceased pharaoh. These texts, found in great numbers, are one of the oldest works of religious literature. Scientists named them after the place where they were found "Pyramid Texts".

Taking care of the safety of the spirit of the deceased in the afterlife, his relatives did not forget about the vital necessary things... Jewelry and various items belonging to the pharaoh were kept in special rooms. After all, the ancient Egyptians believed that the deceased continues to live after death, that he needs all those things that were necessary for him during his life. And the magnificent tomb of the king served as his home, as during his lifetime the house was a magnificent palace.

On holidays in memory of the deceased pharaoh, a solemn procession headed to his pyramid. In the hall with columns in front of the image of the pharaoh, "seated next to Ra", prayers were performed and sacrifices were offered. These days in " city ​​of the dead" near large pyramids it was noisy and lively. They drove herds of sacrificial animals, people walked with baskets of gifts, flowers, offerings. Only relatives of the king, confidants and priests were allowed into the funeral temple. The rest of the procession in honor of the deceased pharaoh remained in the valley at the entrance to the corridor leading to the king's funeral temple and awaited the end of the sacrifice. To the pyramid - the consecrated resting place of the pharaoh, who became a deity - a mere mortal did not dare to approach. However, the riches that filled the storerooms of the royal tomb were a great temptation for robbers. The pyramid builders foresaw this too. The entrance to the crypt was closed from the inside with a heavy keystone. After the end of the funeral ceremonies, supports were knocked out from under the stone and the entrance to the central chamber of the pyramid, where a magnificent granite sarcophagus with the body of the pharaoh stood, was closed forever.

The same huge stone, lowered down the inclined passage into the crypt, closed the passage to the corridor.

The well, through which people descended, after all entrances and exits were walled up, was filled up. The royal tomb was inaccessible to humans and demons. Pharaoh could rest peacefully under a hundred-meter-high pyramid hanging over the vaulted crypt.

But all the precautions were in vain. The tombs of the kings were plundered in antiquity, and only empty halls and complex passages inside the pyramids have survived to this day. The unheard-of value of the treasures that were hidden in the tsar's graves could only be guessed at until, in 1922-1923. the famous tomb of the king of the XVIII dynasty Tutankhamun, who died in the XIV century, was not opened. BC, more than 32 centuries ago. By a happy coincidence, it was not plundered, and all the utensils that accompanied the king to his afterlife appeared before the eyes of scientists.

Several rooms surrounded the central room, where the sarcophagus of the young king, who died when he was only 18 years old, stood. All these pantries were filled with a mass of things. There were four royal chariots, bound in gold, magnificent royal beds with the heads of beasts, a golden throne, on the back of which the image of the deceased Pharaoh and his wife was made from precious stones. Fragrant ointments were kept in wonderful vessels made of transparent alabaster. In wooden cases, they found fried geese and hams - the food of the young king in his afterlife. Numerous chests with clothes, jewelry, shoes, and vessels filled the pantries.

At the entrance there were statues of the Pharaoh himself, guarding the doors that led to the central room. When the door was opened, scientists saw a solid gold wall decorated with turquoise tiles. It was a huge box - a sarcophagus that occupied almost the entire room. On one side of the box there were doors sealed with a seal with the name of Tutankhamun and closed with a bronze bolt. Three thousand years have passed since the Pharaoh's seal was imposed on these doors, and now they creaked again, but already under the hand of the archaeologist. The first case was removed. Below it was a second one, equally richly decorated. The walls between the first and second sarcophagi were also filled with things. Here lay two magnificent golden ostrich feathers, wonderful alabaster vessels and many other valuable things.

The third coffin was made of expensive carved gilded oak. When they took it off, then under it was a sarcophagus from pink granite extraordinary beauty... Removing the lid, scientists saw a gilded bed, on which was a sarcophagus in the form of a swaddled mummy. It was covered with sheets of gold and sparkled with precious stones.

The last case, which contained the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, wrapped in 16 linen shroud, was made of pure gold. On the face of the mummy was a golden mask, a portrait of a young pharaoh. A huge amount of gold jewelry - necklaces and bracelets - was found on the mummy. They wore gold forged sandals on their feet, and the fingers and toes were enclosed in gold cases. The treasures found in the tomb of the young king were worthless. But this was not yet the richest burial of the Egyptian rulers.

Pharaoh Tutankhamun was an insignificant ruler, under him Egypt did not achieve special power and wealth. A pyramid was not erected over his grave. In this era, the pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings, in tombs carved into the rock.

What incalculable riches must have been contained in the burials of other, more powerful rulers of Egypt! It is no coincidence that the Babylonian king wrote Egyptian Pharaoh: "My brother, there is as much gold in your country as sand."

And, probably, weeks and months were needed to place in numerous storerooms and hiding places all the priceless gifts, treasures and sacrificial offerings that were due to the powerful king.

No wonder the inscriptions found in the pyramids compare the deceased pharaoh with the sun god Ra himself, the supreme deity of the Egyptians.

"He flies, flies away ... He flies from you, about people," reads one of the inscriptions. "He is not on earth anymore, in heaven he ... In your boat he rowed, oh Ra, in your boat he rules in heaven, and when you leave the eastern horizon, he floats with you in your boat, oh Ra , about the Sun! "

But although the texts of the pyramids praised the divine power of the pharaoh, although the powerful walls of the pyramid reliably sheltered the burial of the king, the huge granite sarcophagi in the pyramids of kings Khufu and Khafr are empty. Even in ancient times, temples were destroyed at the Khafre pyramid. Huge statues of Pharaoh Khafr were smashed and thrown into a well, from where they were recovered by archaeologists during excavations. It was clear that these magnificent statues of dark hard stone had not suffered from time to time. They were deliberately spoiled, smashed to pieces, crippled.

Even Herodotus, who collected stories about the pharaohs - the builders of the pyramids during his travels across Egypt, wrote that the kings Khufu and Khafra, who erected the largest pyramids, were hated by the people even after death. It was said that the people, driven to despair by overwork, extortion, hunger and poverty, rose up and destroyed the tombs of these two most merciless tyrants. The mummies of Khufu and Khafre were thrown from their magnificent tombs and torn to pieces. The outraged people smashed the statues that perpetuated the memory of these cruel oppressors wherever they met. And the hated names Khufu and Khafra were consigned to oblivion for many centuries, the people avoided calling them.

It is easy to imagine what a tremendous uprising the despair of the people, who spent decades languishing in the construction of the huge pyramid of Khufu, poured into.

Vague legends have survived to this day about this uprising. But the papyri describing the performances of the Egyptian poor in later times say that the Egyptian people were not a humble sufferer. He tried to defend his freedom from the tyranny of the rich. The papyri repeatedly mention popular unrest, when the people, driven out of patience by the despotism of the pharaoh, the priests and the rich, took up arms. Masons and stone-cutters rebelled, exhausted by overwork. Craftsmen and peasants rose. They were joined by slaves working in quarries, irrigation canals and dams. They smashed rich estates, temples, killed the oppressors, destroyed the very memory of them, captured in statues, tombs, and memorial temples.

"The rich man falls asleep hungry, and those who used to beg for his olives drink strong wine ... who did not have bread now have barns ..." - this is what one of the papyri says, called "Ipuver's Complaint". "The earth has turned like a potter's circle: the insignificant possess treasures ... The noble are full of complaints, and the insignificant are full of joy," the priest Ipuver narrated with horror.

Apparently, the people in revolt managed to temporarily seize part of the wealth of the nobility, land, cattle, granaries into their own hands. The exploiters were forced to do the most difficult and humiliating jobs. Civil war broke out in Egypt.

But from the same papyri, scientists learned that the old order was restored again, when, according to Ipuver, “the hands of people will begin to build pyramids, dig ponds, plant groves of trees for the gods; it is good when noble people stand, dressed in thin clothes, and look at the jubilation in their house ... ".

These people, whose hands were to build the pyramids again, were all the same Egyptian poor people - artisans, farmers, slaves. The merciless oppression of taxes, duties, exhausting and hard work fell on them again.

During the uprising and civil war, temples, royal tombs and tombs of the nobility were not built. But when calm came, the pharaohs and the nobility began to re-erect magnificent burial structures.

In Egypt, even the most distinguished person did not dare to think about building such a burial structure as a pyramid. Only Pharaoh, son of the Sun, could have such a grandiose tomb. The tombs of the noble Egyptians were either hewn out of the rock, or built of stone or brick. These were low rectangular structures built over the crypt. The tombs of the Egyptian nobility are usually crowded around the pyramids, as if the nobles and after death wanted to be closer to the pharaoh.

These mastab tombs usually had several rooms. In the main one there was a sarcophagus with the body of the deceased. In one of the rooms, belongings belonging to the owner of the tomb were stacked. In a small room there was usually a statue of the deceased. The scale walls were decorated with paintings or painted reliefs. The paints of the paintings are striking in their brightness and freshness. The liveliness and subtlety of the drawing were amazing. But Egyptian artists worked with rather coarse brushes made from pieces of fibrous wood. At one end, such a piece was broken with a stone until it crumbled, forming a rough fringe. With such primitive brushes (several brushes with the remnants of paint on them were found in tombs), artists created graceful, picturesque images that adorned the walls of the tombs.

Here you can see scenes of everyday life - harvesting, sowing, artisans and farmers at work, hunting, boating on the Nile, dancing girls, dancing warriors. Common people, hardworking and talented, such were the Egyptian laborers depicted in their usual pursuits.

And not the nobles - the owners of the rich, decorated with paintings mastabs, who boastfully listed their services to the Pharaoh, immortalized themselves by the construction of these tombs, but modest workers, whose names are not named in the inscriptions.

They were the ones who grew the wonderful crops of the Nile Valley. They built irrigation canals and dams, they carved magnificent statues, erected beautiful temples, decorated the walls of buildings with wonderful reliefs full of life's truth. And in these pictures of everyday life, they immortalized themselves, their inconspicuous work, without which the entire thousand-year-old culture of Egypt could not exist. Without knowing it, they have preserved to this day on the stone pages of the walls stories about their hard working life, about the forced existence of some and the prosperity of others, about their sorrows, fun and entertainment.

There are more than seventy Egyptian pyramids, but only three of them have become the most famous. These are the tombs of the pharaohs located in Giza - the pyramids of Khafren (Khafre), Cheops (Khufu) and Mekerin (Menkaur). It is with them that the majority is connected, mysterious legends and unexplained incidents.

It cannot be said with certainty that today all the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids have been solved, because their priests were very resourceful and inventive. Perhaps our researchers have yet to unravel the mysteries of the Sphinx, and penetrate the very essence of Egyptian architecture, science and magic ...

Secrets of the pyramid of Khafre

The height of this structure is 136.5 meters. Its structure is relatively simple - two entrances located on the north side and two chambers. The pyramid of Khafre was erected from stone blocks of various sizes, and faced with slabs of white limestone. The top of the pharaoh's tomb is made of beautiful yellow limestone.

It is not safe to try to penetrate the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids! The proof of this will be the event that happened to tourists in 1984. An imposing line stood in front of the entrance to the tunnel, leading into the depths of the Khafre pyramid. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the group, which went to a compact room with a sarcophagus - the tomb of Pharaoh Khafre, in which the mummy of the ruler was once sealed. It is believed that this pharaoh, in addition to his pyramid, built a mysterious man-lion - the Great Sphinx.

Finally the tourists returned, but what happened to them! People were choking with coughing, staggering from weakness and nausea, their eyes were red. Later, tourists said that all at the same time felt irritation in the respiratory tract, pain in the eyes, and experienced severe lacrimation. The victims were given medical assistance, they were examined, but ... No deviations were found. It was announced to the people that the pharaoh's tomb was probably filled with some mysterious gas that had leaked into the tomb in an unknown way.

The tomb was closed, and a commission was urgently convened to resolve this mystery of the Egyptian pyramid. Experts have put forward several working versions - the appearance of corrosive gases from faults in the bowels of the earth's crust, the actions of unknown intruders, and even intervention. But according to the most interesting version, one of the ancient traps, equipped by priests against robbers, could have been located in the pharaoh's tomb.

Tomb of Pharaoh Mikerin

The Greeks called the son and heir of Khafra Mikerin. This ruler belongs to the smallest of the famous great pyramids. The original height of the building was 66 meters, the current one is 55.5 meters. Side length - 103.4 meters. The entrance is located on the north wall, where part of the facing has been preserved. The tomb of Mikerin also contributed to the formation of the legends about the Egyptian pyramids.

In 1837, the Pyramid of Mikerin was discovered by the English Colonel Howard Vance. In the golden chamber of the tomb, he found a sarcophagus made of basalt, as well as a wooden coffin lid, carved in the form of a human figure. This find has been dated as belonging to the era of early Christianity. The sarcophagus was never delivered to England - the ship carrying it from Egypt sank.

There is a legend that the Egyptians took over some secrets from the Atlanteans who arrived in their country. So, for example, it is believed that the effect of the pyramid on the cells of a living organism depends on the mass and shape of the pyramid. The pyramid can both destroy and heal from diseases. It is known that the influence of the field of the Pyramid of Mikerin is so great that tourists who have been in its critical zone for a long time. Some people entering the tomb of Pharaoh Mikerin fall into a fainting state, they sharply feel a deterioration in their health. You should not try to solve the mysteries of the Egyptian pyramids by trial and error.

Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)

The records of the Greek historian Herodotus indicate that the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops was erected for more than 20 years. During this period, about 100,000 people were constantly employed at the construction site. The body of the legendary pyramid of Cheops consists of 128 layers of stone, the outer edges of the structure were lined with snow-white limestone. It should be noted that the cladding boards are fitted with such precision that even a knife blade cannot be inserted into the gap between them.

Many researchers tried to penetrate the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. Egyptian archaeologist Mohammed Zakaria Goneim discovered an ancient Egyptian pyramid with an alabaster sarcophagus located inside. As the excavation drew to a close, one of the stone blocks collapsed and dragged several workers with it. There was nothing in the sarcophagus raised to the surface.

Englishman Paul Brighton, having heard that many tourists visiting the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops, complain about the deterioration of health, decided to experience the influence of the pyramid on himself. The indefatigable researcher penetrated directly into the burial room of Cheops, which ended very badly for him. After some time, Brighton was found and removed from there. The Englishman was in a semi-conscious state, he later admitted that he lost consciousness from the indescribable horror.

The mystery of the Egyptian pyramid of Tutankhamun

The fall of 1922 left its mark on the history of the development of archaeological science forever - the English archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the pyramid of Tutankhamun. On February 16, 1923, Carter and Lord Carnarvon (the patron who financed this venture) opened the tomb in the presence of several witnesses.

In the room of the sarcophagus there was a tablet containing an inscription in the ancient Egyptian language, which was deciphered later. The inscription read: "Anyone who breaks the peace of Pharaoh, death will overtake with swift steps." When the archaeologist deciphered the tablet, he hid it so as not to embarrass his companions, as well as the workers, with this warning.

Further events developed at a rapid pace. Even before the tomb of the pharaoh was opened, Lord Carnarvon received a letter from Count Haimon, an English clairvoyant. In this letter, the count warned Carnarvon that if he penetrates into the secret of the Egyptian pyramid of Tutankhamun, then he will face a disease that will lead to death. This message greatly alarmed the lord, and he decided to seek advice from a famous fortune-teller named Velma. The clairvoyant repeated almost word for word the warning of Count Haimon. Lord Carnarvon decided to end the excavation, but preparations had gone too far. Against his will, he had to challenge the mystical forces guarding the tomb of the pharaoh ...

57 - year old Lord Carnarvon, after only six weeks, suddenly fell ill. At first, doctors believed that the disease was the result of a mosquito bite. It was then revealed that the lord cut himself while shaving. But be that as it may, the lord soon died, and the cause of his death remained unclear.

This incident is not limited to the death of Lord Carnarvon alone. During the year, five more members of this expedition die, having penetrated the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. These included conservation specialist Mays, English professor of literature La Fleur, Carter's secretary Richard Befiel and radiologist Wood. Mace died in the same hotel where Carnarvon died, and also for an unexplained reason. Before his death, he began to complain of bouts of weakness, felt melancholy and apathy. Over the course of several years, 22 people suddenly and fleetingly died, in one way or another related to the excavation and research of the pharaoh's tomb.

Strange, but true: Lord Cantherville transported on the Titanic the perfectly preserved mummy of Amenophis the Fourth, an Egyptian soothsayer who lived during the time of Amenhotep the Fourth. This mummy was removed from a small tomb, over which the temple towered. Her peace was protected, who accompanied the mummy on this journey. Under the head of the mummy was a tablet with an inscription and a picture of Osiris. The inscription read: "Wake up from the swoon in which you are, and triumph over all sorts of intrigues against you."

Why were the pyramids of Giza built?

Such majestic structures could be not only the tombs of the pharaohs. The secrets of the Egyptian pyramids have not been solved to this day. And yet there are some assumptions regarding their purpose. Pyramids can be:
- encyclopedias of knowledge, a kind of treasury of Egyptian wisdom ();
- astronomical observatories;
- obstacles against sands coming from the desert;
- architecture standards;
- alien information capsules;
- border fortresses and even the pier for the ark of Noah.

And this is only a small part of the assumptions made regarding these architectural structures... As you can see, the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids have not yet been solved ...

One of these unsolved mysteries is the fantastic speed of construction with which each tomb of the pharaoh was erected. Scientists calculated it based on the life expectancy of the rulers, the time of the flood of the Nile, and other factors. It turned out that 4 blocks were installed every minute, and every hour - 240! And this is only with the help of primitive mechanisms - levers, ropes, etc. There is even an incredible assumption that the Egyptian priests possessed the secret of overcoming the law of attraction.

Who will master all the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids? What power lies within these timeless walls? Perhaps we have yet to witness the discoveries of modern researchers. Or maybe Pharaoh's tomb is waiting for you?
