History of The Pyramids in Egypt

noreply@blogger.com (tourworld) — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:06:00 -0700

The first historically documented Egyptian pyramid is attributed to the architect Imhotep, who planned what Egyptologists believe to be the tomb of the Pharaoh Djoser. Amenhotep was the first to give credit to the design of a mastaba lying on the other - the creation of the building consists of several "steps" that decreased the waist up. Step Pyramid of Djoser is the result - which was designed to serve the great staircase by which the soul of the deceased pharaoh could go to heaven. Such was the importance of reaching that Imhotep was later deified by the Egyptians.

The construction phase of the most prolific pyramid coincided with the largest absolute rule of the pharaohs. The most famous pyramids near Giza were built at that time. At the time, and less centralized authority, ability and willingness to gather resources to build on a large scale have decreased, and later pyramids were smaller, less well built and often hastily constructed.

When the Great Pyramid in Egypt was built at 146 meters (438 feet) high. The time to wear the 10 pyramid meters (30 feet) and continues to weaken. The pyramid was once covered with limestone, which was painted bright red. The sides of the pyramid are correctly positioned at a point north, south, east and west. Bottom of the pyramid sides measuring 227 meters (681 feet) in length. It was designed precisely that margin of error between the parties is less than 1 percent.

Belonged to the pharaoh Khufu and his time his body. Pyramid is composed of about two million limestone blocks each weighing over two tonnes. Pyramids of today is the last wonder of the world, which is today.

Second Pyramid of Khafre Pharaoh. Unlike the pyramids of Cheops, according to the pyramid is 53 degrees. This pyramid is three feet shorter than Khufu and located on the north shore of the Giza Plateau. Top of the pyramid has a little white limestone cap on top of the pyramid, which can still be seen. This large tomb was looted before the archaeologists found.

Third Pyramid or the Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three pyramids. Its design is not as detailed, as well as the other two pyramids. Although the pyramid of Menkaure is not complete when he died, his son had Shepseskaf intends to complete a major project. This pyramid is 66 meters high.

Visitor Information Pyramids

The pyramids are open from 8-16 hours (up to five hours in summer) daily. They are free to go. You'll only need to pay a fee if you want to enter the pyramid, or any of the other sites around the pyramid. However, if you just want pictures, all costs of driving a car!

Moving in the pyramid is quite simple, you can walk, take a horse and buggy or take a camel ride. You can go inside the pyramid, but be careful if you suffer from claustrophobia. The climbs are very steep and narrow so that the knee must be in good condition. You need tickets to enter the pyramids and they are limited to 300 per day to arrive early.

A taxi from the center of Cairo is probably the best way to get the Pyramids, although travel mini and micro buses frequently. conditioned bus also runs regularly from Midan Tahrir. Advice for travel to other parts of the pyramids of Egypt.

Some of the pyramids are the most popular:

Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid in Egypt. Designed to store his mummified body of Pharaoh Djoser step pyramid at Saqqara began as a traditional flat-roofed mastaba. But at the end of his reign of 19 years in 2611 BC, it rose to six layers increase and 204 feet (62 meters) high. It was the largest building in its time.
Maidum Pyramid - probably under the influence of the pyramid, Sneferu, the first king of the 4th dynasty, built on a pyramid of seven levels, about 35 miles (56 km) south of Saqqara. It was also the first Egyptian pyramid to the burial chamber above the ground.
Great Pyramid of Khufu or Pyramid - Great Pyramid is the largest and best known of the three pyramids of the Old Empire, located in Giza plateau in Egypt, built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu between 2589 and 2566 BC.
Bent Pyramid - Pyramid Bent is one of the pyramids of ancient Giza, Egypt, built in the 4th Dynasty, 2680-2565 BC in the fourth dynasty pharaoh Snefru.

Conservation efforts Pyramids

Several years ago a plan was developed to manage and restore the monuments of Giza in four phases. Most steps have been completed. Main threats to the ancient objects are no longer valid. Today, most threats comes from sand, dirt, and more tourism.

The final step is a program of 10-15 years of conservation and research. This includes training staff to ensure proper knowledge management in place to ensure current protection, if necessary, and continue clearing and research programs that will enhance the area for tourists and researchers. There is also a new excavation and settlement, particularly in the cemeteries of the nobility to the east and west of the Great Pyramid.

Finally, mapping and excavation in the southern and western third, where the debris fell from the pyramid pyramid has never been verified. This requires a skilled photogrammetric planning before removing the fallen blocks, which may include long-sought evidence of the ramp of the building and construction methods.

noreply@blogger.com (tourworld) — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:02:00 -0700

Jam Gadang Bukittinggi is a symbol of the city and the province of West Sumatra in Indonesia. Typical symbols of the West Sumatra is also a unique story and because it is already tens of years.Jam Gadang built in 1926 by architect and Sutan Yazin Gigi Ameh. R. The first stone of the day is over, the son of Maker Rook is the first time, even at the age of 6 years. I am a gift from the Queen of the Netherlands Controllers (City Secretary).

Special characters and Bukittinggi, West Sumatra has a unique history and travel history. Perhaps the decorations in Gadang Jam. During the Dutch colonial period, the ornament-shaped clock, and rounded at the top is the statue of a rooster.

During the Japanese occupation, the number of hours has become a jewelry pagoda. While in the period after independence, ornamennya shape changed with the return of the traditional house gonjong Padang.

Today's figures also has its own uniqueness. Data on the number four is often written in Roman IV, but the show Jam Gadang IIII.

Jam Gadang the tower, visitors can see a panorama of the city of Bukittinggi is composed of mountains, valleys and the construction of lines in the middle of my town to be missed.

Built entirely at the expense of achieving the 3000 Gulden adjustments and repairs from time to time. While in the Netherlands and was built in the shape of the roof and permanent rounded during the Japanese chicken jantan.Sedangkan changed again in the shape of pagodas, and after the independence of the variation Minangkabau traditional house.

Each day, hundreds of people tried to Gadang Jam. It amatiran photographer who sells balloons, and even find a lot of car (public), which belongs to other tourist destinations of Bukittinggi.

"I'm Gadang always brings a blessing to us every day to work as an editor and seller balloon photos here. Therefore, it is one day pump Minang hours, "said Afrizal, an amateur photographer from the daily Gadang.

To reach this place, tourists can benefit from a landline. From the town of Bukittinggi, Padang, travel can be more or less within two hours of travel by public transport. When you reach the town of Bukittinggi, travel can be resumed using the transport to the city, the location Jam Gadang.

Regards, may be at odd hours on 26 meters. In addition, it is stored in the form, because the clock does Gadang rounded shape with a diameter of 80 centimeters, in the basement of the ball

m baseline measurement of 13 x 4, as a monument or monuments. Because of the size, the other day of this dependence, it is very good as Jam Gadang which means a great day.

Even if there is not strange when I saw some Roman Gadang clock. But trying to detail the number of Roman four. I saw something moving away from the handle. Correctly, enter the number four a symbol of Roman IV. But even Gadang few rows of four (IIII). The drafting of a patron outside the Roman numerals, must be covered at the moment is still a mystery.

But a single mistake clock Gadang even create more "ON" and check all the movements (accident) and know memperhatikannya. Even more extraordinary, and sometimes the question arises whether the old and the old boss or errors and / or different. With a variety of information in society, the number four is interpreted as an odd number of victims who become Tumbala during development. Or to suggest that there are four carpenters make jam Gadang workers died several hours after their completion. Rational, because the days are made of materials of cement mixed with egg white.

If there are errors in the evaluation study IV, of course, always be possible to adapt the list of secrets. But at least it seems necessary.

Hours as a gift from the Queen of Netherlands Supervisor (City Secretary), and created hours of Uncle Sam U.S. experts, the possibility of error is very low. However, it leaves a lot of secrets confidential.

However, it should be more, the clock motor Gadang also believes that there are only two in the world. Kembarannya course that is currently installed on the Big Ben in the United Kingdom. Machines operating by hand by the author (butler known) name Brixlion Forman.

Now back to Roman numeral four is the number four is odd by the author, who also does not know. But he should also know that this time the first stone Gadang the child was six years old, son

Tower controller first major manufacturer, who has served in Holland, where Bukittinggi.

Even in the Dutch colonial period, during peak hours Gadang megahnya associated with the statue of a rooster. However, when the Netherlands and the turnover less kolonial took place in Indonesia to Japan, receives the mountain-shaped pagodas. In addition, when the period of independence, on top of the roof of the pagoda style bagonjong replace traditional house Padang

Lake Toba - The World's Largest Lake

noreply@blogger.com (tourworld) — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 07:41:00 -0700

Lake Toba is a large lake, 100km long and 30 km wide in the middle of the northern Indonesian island of Sumatra, Indonesia. When you see that you might ask for its natural beauty and beautiful landscapes, but remember how it was formed in the past. Large inland lake in the past spoken in local myths, but true story of Toba and how evolution huge inland lake, a knowledge of the history of the volcano Toba.

In 1949 the Dutch geologist Rein van Bemmelen reported that Lake Toba was surrounded by a layer of ignimbrite rocks, and that was a large crater. Later, scientists discovered rhyolite ash similar to that of the ignimbrite around Toba (now the couple Toba Tuff to distinguish it from layers deposited in previous explosions) in Malaysia and India, 3000 km. Oceanographers discovered Toba ash, with its chemical "fingerprint" feature on the floor of the eastern Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal.

Toba eruption took place, what is now Lake Toba, about 75,000 years ago. It was about eight explosive volcanic index (which is known as a mega-colossal), which is probably the biggest volcanic eruption in the last two million years. According to research conducted by Bill Rose and Craig Chesne Michigan Technological University, the total amount of erupted material about 2800 cubic kilometers (670 cubic miles) â € "about 2,000 cubic kilometers of ignimbrite that flowed over the ground and about 800 cubic kilometers , which reduced to ashes, the wind blows which is west. In contrast, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the United States fired about 1 cubic kilometers of material, while the more large volcanic eruption in recorded history, Mount Tambora in 1815, has issued the equivalent of about 100 cubic kilometers of dense rock and created the "Year Without a Summer" as far as North America.

To give an idea of its size, consider that even if the epidemic has occurred in Indonesia, has a layer of ash about 15 cm (6) with a thickness of the Indian subcontinent, in one place in central India, the Toba ash layer today to 6 meters (20 feet) thick, and parts of Malaysia were covered with 9 m of ashfall. In addition, it was calculated that the amount of 1010 tons of sulfuric acid was thrown into the atmosphere of the event, causing acid rain fallout.

Then, the collapse of the crater was made that, after filling with water, created Lake Toba. The island in the southern part of Lake resurgent volcanic domes form.

Square Lake Toba EST visited on Indonesia. The nearest town of Parapat is the lake, which is about four hours drive from Medan (4-6 hours by bus).
