How was the Pyramid of Cheops built?
The architect "Ham Euno" began preparing to build the pyramid and chose the site on the northern side of the plateau after he surveyed the site completely, and then gave instructions to the workers to dig in the rock in the area designated to make a base At that time, the engineer had chosen the location of the quarries from which the stones would be taken, and the ascending road was built over which the stones would be transported from the quarries to the pyramid site, and this road was built of tarmac. The stone in addition to the child and they prepared the workshops for the builders who will work in the statues of the king as well as the tools that will be used in cutting stones and a city was made for permanent workers who will work in different professions and another city for workers who transport stones and workers began to implement the base of the pyramid and they carved it in the rock until the base of the pyramid became without 9 m from the rock itself and this is the secret of building the pyramid that many do not know.
What is the purpose of building the pyramid of Cheops
The purposes of the pyramid were varied, so it was originally built to become a safe shelter for the king's bodies and belongings, then to be a witness to his wealth and power, a means of immortality for his memory and fame, evidence of his high status in this world and the next, and a picture of the sophistication of architecture and art during his reign, that is, it was not just a tomb in a cemetery and was not just a mountain of stones that testifies to the power of its owner, but rather It was and still is a work of art inside and outside. The owner or his priests called it "Acht Khufu" meaning the brightness of Khufu or the horizon of Khufu based on the same motive that called their proverbs to name his father's pyramid "Kha Sanfru" meaning the hair of Sanfru, and the pyramid has its northern entrance that was covered by the stone of the outer cloak after the burial ceremonies. The pyramid included three large chambers, a chamber below it that was carved into the rock and abandoned before the work was completed, and another in the interior of the pyramid, mistakenly called the Queen's Chamber, which was also abandoned after the work was about to be completed, and another in the interior of it, mistakenly called the Queen's Chamber. He explained the multiplicity of these chambers with an acceptable opinion, emphasizing that the pyramid was built in three stages, and the engineer moved from one stage to another as a result of the increase in his experience and the increase in the possibilities of his reign and as a result of the extension of his king's term.
The phenomena of the unique magnitude of the Great Pyramid and the superb craftsmanship that characterized the Great Pyramid have more than one meaning, related to the political, practical, economic, social and ideological conditions at the time of its construction, politically it reflects a system of government that allowed the king who owns the pyramid to dispose of the country's material and human resources.
From the architectural point of view, it testifies to the architect of the pyramid or its engineers with a wide knowledge of the principles of engineering and architecture, so that modern science can hardly find a clear error in what they completed, and from the practical point of view, it testifies to the artisans with an original skill in carving huge stones, leveling them and fixing them in what suits them in the body of the pyramid, and a similar original skill in implementing what the engineers planned with great success, and from the human side, it testifies to the thousands of ordinary workers who participated in the construction of the pyramid with great hardship and endurance the construction of the pyramid with great fortitude and great endurance in cutting its huge stones from their quarries, transporting them and then lifting them to their positions in its construction, and from the administrative point of view, the administrative men supervising the system of workers in the pyramid testify to a great deal of efficiency in drawing up plans to gather thousands of workers, supply them, make good use of them and ensure their continued physical strength to continue working with their organization and division into teams whose names are still recorded on separate stones from the sides of the pyramid.
