So some used to claim that these pyramids are astronomical observatories, from which the Egyptians used to study about planets-constellations and the earth… So let’s find the answers to these questions….
When were these pyramids built?
For the last several centuries, this pyramid has become a cause of great curiosity in the whole world. The construction of the pyramids is a living proof of the fact that how far human technical skill was great even in the past. Many scholars have claimed that all the knowledge of ancient Egypt is buried in these walls of the pyramid. This language is called HEROGRAPHY which has not been understood yet. Let us tell you that it is understood about these three pyramids of Giza that it was built for huge stores of food grains. So that there is no shortage of food at the time of famine.It is said that the first pyramid of Egypt was built in the era of King Djoser of the third dynasty. Which is known as “STEP PYRAMID”. The credit for the construction of this pyramid goes to the architects of that king. Whose name is still inscribed on the pyramid. In this pyramid, the remains of King Josar as well as his family were kept. Told that this pyramid is so big that its rooms and corridors were also built.
After this, King Seneferu of the fourth dynasty built three pyramids. Farmers were made to work in its construction. Let us tell you that the first pyramid was built in Medum. Which was named ‘FALSE PYRAMID’. Another pyramid named ‘BENT PYRAMID’ was built in Dahshar. It is such a pyramid whose walls remain raised at 54° and bend completely at 42°.A short distance from this pyramid, the third pyramid named ‘UTTARI’ of Senferu is present. Seeing such a magnificent pyramid of Seneferu, it seems that it is not only a royal tomb but also a sundial, calendar and astronomical laboratory.
Why was the pyramid built only in the shape of a triangle?
The Egyptians used to believe that their kings live on even after their death. That’s why he used to try to keep the dead bodies of his king safe. Some writers told the mindset of the Egyptians regarding the construction of the pyramids that they had built these pyramids to prove the immortality of human beings even after death. The shape of the pyramid tells that it was built keeping in mind the sun rays.The Egyptians were worshipers of a deity symbolizing the sun named ‘Ra’ with the head of an eagle. That’s why the shape of the pyramid is exactly such that the sun’s rays are falling on the earth.
What was the recognition of the pyramid?
Let us tell you that in ancient times Egyptians used to associate their life with butterfly. He believed that the way a butterfly lives in a cocoon during its birth. After leaving which she takes the form of a butterfly. Just like that, on the death of the kings, a special paste is applied on them and after that they are tied with a bandage like a cocoon and locked in a coffin. They used to do this because the way a butterfly gets a new life after coming out of its cocoon. In the same way, after death, there was a new beginning in the life of the king.
The concept of life even after death made the Egyptians aware of the art of mummification. Let me tell you that the organs of the dead person were taken out and mixed with salt. Then carbonate of soda was sprinkled on the body. After that oil-soaked bandages were wrapped on the dead body and it was laid in a colorful shroud. Along with the body of the deceased, the things used by him were also kept with him.So that in the life after death, he can use those things when needed. A long time ago a closed pit was discovered in the pyramid. In which a 140 feet long and 16 feet wide boat came out. It was speculated that this boat was a ‘solar boat’. In which the king used to travel towards his immortality.
