The legend of Isis and Osiris of the most famous myths that have reached us, and I've got this story from several different sources but they agree the details and content, related to this legend four gods were Isis and Osiris and Horus West
Believe in this myth that Osiris was a king just a lover of the best governed Egypt from its headquarters in Lower Egypt, who taught his people agriculture and patriotism and the dissemination of justice in the reign of that win people's love for him, and I have raised this love hate his brother Seth was therefore thought to the work of Moamra to kill him and dispose him, and he envies his brother Seth and he wants the throne of Egypt prepared a great feast called to his brother
He had made a coffin inlaid with gold and jewels, said that the coffin will be right come on measured, this was a coffin made at the level of Osiris and At least six had been prepared on the size of Osiris, and everyone started in the rotation of the coffin came up the role of Osiris. And when you lay it Osiris closed coffin six associates him and threw him into the Nile, Osiris, and he died by drowning.

But Isis did not stand idle, but hit the ground in search of in search of her husband's body until she found them in Jbeil (Byblos) but six returned to steal the corpse and cut into 14 parts (and in some reports 16-part), he disperses in different places in Egypt, but Isis and Nephthys were able to restore body parts, and used magic to rejuvenate him for a period of time and gave birth to Isis him a son, a Horus (witchcraft as well) and has been difficult to live Osiris as his first Vlzim him to live in the realm of the dead. and be a king there.

And disappeared Isis for Aion six until the baby Horus and the Isis raising Horus in the swamps of the Delta in secret and has cooperated with the gods in his upbringing, even grown up and become a man, then returned Isis Bhors to the valley to demand six throne of Osiris, which has become now the right and his son Horus, has held many of battles between Horus and six stood beside the gods Horus, even triumphed in the end of the following six

The gods set up after the trial was not convicted of the gods on what he did and gave the country the rule of Horus, while six became the ruler of the desert, and restored life to the gods Osiris, but he refused to be king on the ground and preferred to be the ruler of the underworld away from evil

It is said that the origin myth of Osiris that personal reality was a king in the era of immemorial very land of Egypt as a whole had its capital east of the Delta "Bozyres" (Abu Sir - Banha current) has been interpreted by his death by drowning at the hands of god Seth that he died in a rebellion against him was based in "Otbos , "which became the seat of worship of the god of six (Tookh place in Qena Governorate) and thus Egypt was divided into two kingdoms, one in Delta and the other in Upper Egypt and Ouhdta a result of a successful campaign to Cmalen.

Tutankhamun was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt in the history of ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh of Egypt from 1334 to 1325 BC. M. In the era of the modern state. Tutankhamun is the most famous pharaohs, for reasons not related to the achievements made or won by wars, as is the case with a lot of the Pharaohs; but for other reasons are important from a historical perspective and the most notable is the discovery of his tomb and treasures in full without any damage. The mystery surrounding the circumstances of his death, that many considered the death of Pharaoh at a very early age is not normal, especially with the presence of traces of fractures of the thigh bone and skull, and the marriage of his minister from his widow after his death, declaring himself Pharaoh. All of these mysterious events, and heavy usage of the myth of the curse of the pharaohs associated with the tomb of Tutankhamun that were used in films and video games made from Tutankhamun months Pharos mysteries and unanswered questions have considered assassinations of some of the oldest in the history of humanity.

Tutankhamun was 9 years old when he became pharaoh of Egypt and his name in ancient Egyptian means "the living image of the god Amun", a large ancient Egyptian gods. Tutankhamen lived in a transitional period in the history of ancient Egypt, where he came after Akhenaten, who tried to unify the gods of ancient Egypt in the form of the same God. It was in his return to the worship of multiple gods of ancient Egypt. His tomb was discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Howard Carter. This discovery and the latest media frenzy and widespread in the world.

The origins of Tutankhamun's grandfather King Omnhotپ III, who had major wives Queen Tiye his son Amenhotep IV, known as Akhenaten, married Akhenaten, Queen Nefertiti and his wife was the main addition to the secondary wife named Kiya; which is probably the mother of Tutankhamun, has announced Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt in the month of April 2010 that, based on DNA tests, known for short DNA show that Tutankhamun was the son of King Akhenaten.

During the reign of Tutankhamun, began a revolution against the Tel el-Amarna pharaoh Akhenaten, who earlier moved the capital from Thebes to the new capital furnace sister queens and tried to unify the gods of ancient Egypt, including the multi-god Amun in the form of one god, Aten. In 1331 BC. M any in the third year for the rule of Tutankhamun, who was 11 years and the impact of the Minister Aye lift the ban on the worship of the gods.
There is a belief that the death of Tutankhamun was not due to illness but may be a result of the assassination of the Minister Kپrkپro Ra Aye of plotting and there is plenty of evidence supplied by the believers in this theory, for example, marriage minister Kپrkپro Ra Eye of the widow of Tutankhamun, where he found the seal of Pharaonic carries the name of any and Ankh Sun Amun, the widow of Tutankhamun, and there is also a letter sent by Ankh Essen Amon widow of Tutankhamun, the king of the Hittites asking him to send one of his sons for the purpose of marrying her after the death of her husband and the king of the Hittites to send one of his sons to marry the widow of Tutankhamun Amon, but he died before it enters the land of Egypt, and there is a belief that he was assassinated probably masterminded by the Minister Kپrkپro Ra Aye, who apparently had been planning to seize the throne of Egypt stood to kill King Tutankhamun and killed the son of the king of the Hittites, but this hypothesis and there was no conclusive evidence to prove each of these theories .
It is worth noting that the historical evidence indicates the presence of ministers of Tutankhamun, one iPhone that was mentioned and the other was named Horemheb There is archaeological evidence confirms that after the death of Tutankhamun, received the Minister Aye reins of power for a short period to be replaced by the Second Minister of Horemheb, which was in his destruction of most evidence of the reign of Tutankhamen, Minister Aye and this confirms to some conspiracy theory and the fact that the death of Tutankhamun from malaria which was rife in the south.

The so-called Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the River Nile near Thebes for a period of 450 years during the era of the modern history of the ancient Egyptians which lasted of 1539 to 1075 BC as a tomb for the pharaoh of this period where there is in this valley rocky, an area of approximately 20,000 square meters 27 royal tombs belonging to three families of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt and the Egyptian family nineteenth and twentieth Egyptian family was discovered to this day
Believed that the Valley has at least 30 other graves had not been discovered yet. Graves discovered in the Valley of the Kings so far and in chronological order for the rule of the Pharaohs dating back to Thutmose I and Omnhotپ II and Tutankhamun and Horemheb are of the Egyptian family of eighteen, Ramses I and Seti I and Ramses II and Aminmsis and the City II and Sptah they are of the Egyptian family nineteenth West Nachti, Ramses III and Ramses IV , Ramses V and Ramses IX are of the Egyptian family twenty. There are the graves of other pharaohs of the unknown is still ongoing attempts of their knowledge.
The construction of the tomb of the pharaoh usually begins just days after his inauguration pharaoh of Egypt and the construction will take probably tens of years and the workers were using simple tools such as ax to dig grooves long and the formation of small rooms in the valley and over time there were tombs built over the graves of the other was the construction of tunnels and canyons of the new lead mostly to the blockage of corridors leading to the tomb of the pharaoh earlier, the lack of systematic planning that was the main reason which led to the survival of these treasures and not exposed to the theft of thousands of years.

Valley of the Kings

In the November 4, 1922 when he was an archaeologist and specialist in the history of ancient Egypt, the British Howard Carter, the excavations at the entrance to the tunnel leading to the tomb of Ramses VI in the Valley of the Kings noticed a cellar and large continued exploration flour to be entered to the room containing the tomb of Tutankhamun, and was on the walls of the room containing the mausoleum of the fees great tells in the form of pictures the story of the departure of Tutankhamun to the world of the dead and the scene was very good for the world of Howard Carter, who was seen to the room through a hole in his hand a candle and said that the assistant asked, "Can you see anything?" Fjaoppe Carter: "Yes, I see wonderful things."
On February 16, 1923 was Howard Carter (1874-1939) was the first man since more than 3000 years of land set foot room containing the ark of Tutankhamun. Note that Carter and a wooden box with patterns inlaid with gold in the middle of the room and when the lifting of the Fund noted that the fund was covering second fund decorated with carvings inlaid with gold and when he lifted the second fund noted that the second fund was covering the fund Third restaurant in gold and when you raise the third fund Carter arrived to the sarcophagus which was covered with a thick layer of stone carved in the form of a statue of Tutankhamun, and when you lift this cover Stone Carter arrived to Altabutalzahbi the key was in the form of a statue of Tutankhamun was the golden coffin covered coffins Gold Sponsors others in the form of statues of the young Pharaoh. Met with Howard difficulty in lifting the shroud Golden III, who was covering the mummy of Tutankhamun for the mummy idea Carter said exposing the shroud to the heat of the sun summer of Egypt blazing will be capable of separating the shroud Golden mummy but his attempts failed and forced the latter to cut the shroud golden halves up to the mummy which was wrapped in layers of silk, after the removal of the shroud is made of cloth found the mummy of Tutankhamun full finery of necklaces, rings and crown and sticks and were all of pure gold, to remove these artifacts had excavation team to the separation of the skull and bones of major joints and after the removal of ornaments team brought the installation structure marrow of the mummy and put it in a wooden coffin.

Char to the mystery surrounding Tutankhamun and the Golden tomb raised the curiosity and enthusiasm of the fans since the studies of ancient Egyptian mummy revealed Carter site in the November 4, 1922, and what was in store for the treasures of gold and precious stones.
Archaeologists have tried in recent years uncovered the mystery behind the way the death of the young pharaoh, who was believed to be the ruler of 12 of the 18 Dynasty and ascended to the throne, the ruler of ancient Egypt at the age of no more than eight years.
In an attempt to uncover these secrets out scientists mummy of Tutankhamun from the grave and put it on the table CT evolving for a quarter of an hour in 2005 in order to obtain three-dimensional image of the mummy older than 3000 years.
And excluded the results of medical examination to be young pharaoh had died were killed, but was unable to determine precisely the way his death, which occurred in 1323 BC.

It also provided an account of the images in a timely manner is unprecedented about the life of the young pharaoh, who is one of the most famous kings of ancient Egypt, including that he was healthy because of good nutrition despite his intention to transform the relatively does not exceed 170 centimeters tall England when he died.

Governor of Ramses II

noreply@blogger.com (ozo) — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 18:54:00 +0000

Ramses II was born in 1303 BC and ruled Egypt for 67 years from 1279 BC. m. Until 1212 BC. m. became the ruler of Egypt in his early twenties. Thought of before that he lived until he became 99 years old, but it most likely died in the early Tsainath. Book the ancient Greeks (such as Herodotus) attributed his achievements to the semi-legendary King Senusret III, who lived in the Middle Kingdom, and the Greeks called Sesostris.

Ramses II was the son of king of Egypt, Seti I and Queen Tuya, his wives and most beloved Queen Nefertari to him, as had a number of secondary wives, including his wife, Isis and Maat Nofret Poplar Neferure, and Princess Haty. The number of sons and a daughter about 90 years of them: Bntanat and Mritamn, Stnacht. And his sons Prince Merneptah who succeeded his father as king on the throne of Egypt. Finally, Prince Kha M, Ast, who restored the effects of his ancestors. It was a brave early age and shows that he was playing with a lion and he was beloved in the age of nine, and then dresses and mother of the crown on the occasion of birthday celebrations and the ninth day of the first claimed the City knows how to be Ramses II, ruler and a beloved leader of the Division

Ramses had several names. Two most important of them: the royal name and its original name
First Name is: waser maat Ra - Staban and also Golden Falcon
Second name is: Ra mso - Amon and Mary and their meaning: strong Maat-Ra, chosen of Ra

Led by Ramses II, several campaigns northwards to the Levant, and in the Battle of Kadesh the second in the fourth year of his reign (1274 BC. M.), The Egyptian forces under his command in conjunction with the forces of Muatales king of the Hittites lasted for fifteen years, but none of the parties defeat the other party. Accordingly, in the year, atheist and twenty of his reign (1258 BC. M.), Concluded a treaty with Ramses II Hatossells III, the oldest peace treaty in history.

the Battle of Kadesh

Led Ramses II also several campaigns South First Cataract to Nubia, was established by Ramesses the city (Bur Ramesso) in the eastern Delta, which he conducted his battles with the Hittites has claimed some that have been taken by a new capital of the country and this of course is not true has been the country's capital in place in good The greatest left of the temples and the effects of leave it there. Qrkan Ramses II and distinct in the arts of fighting and wars and was smart thinking and the solution comes in the same MEET was also skillful in riding horses and fighting with swords, fencing, archery was also a spirit of good moral and loving people

King Ramses II under took in Valley of the Kings, in the cemetery kv7, but the mummy was taken to crypt mummies at Deir el-Bahri, where it was discovered in 1881 by Gaston Maspero, and transferred to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, after five years, it was Ramses The height of his stature 170 cm, and medical examinations on mummy show the effects of red hair or pigments, and believed that he suffered from acute rheumatic arthritis in recent years-old, also suffered from diseases of the gums.

Statue of Ramses II at the beginning of the fifties and the development of the most famous squares of Cairo (the field of iron door), which changed its name to the field of Ramses, and in September 2005 has been moved from the arena famous, which is located in the center of Cairo in front of the railway station and was placed in the Pyramids area in Giza Governorate, to make repairs It for one year and until the completion of the new Egyptian Museum.

Some believe that Ramses II is the enemy of Prophet Moses, who died by drowning Since the reign of Ramses II Almellk close of the reign of Moses And there is evidence that he is likely to be Ramses II is the enemy of Moses, where the world Maurice Bucaille doing research on Mmia Ramses II to recognize how his death And has reached this Almmia died by drowning and stiffness found in the hands of Almmia and the owner was trying to raise his hand to save himself from drowning also found a trace of sand in the Red Sea Almmia

I think Dr. Morse surprised that he had discovered a great thing, but he was surprised that the Muslims were aware of this fact for thousands of years of evidence in the Quran

God said :

(بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قَالَ آَمَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الَّذِي آَمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ (90) آَلْآَنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ (91) فَالْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ آَيَةً وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ آَيَاتِنَا لَغَافِلُونَ ) صدق الله العظيم

Dr. Morris said that : how Muhammad taught peace be upon him despite the fact that the discovery of X-ray Alssnip was in the modern era was that it caused in the Declaration of Dr. Maurice Bucaille embraced the Islamic religion

But despite all these assumptions, there is still much debate about who is the Moses of Pharaoh Ramses II, is it? Or is it another Pharaoh else?

the Pyramids (part 1 of 2 )

noreply@blogger.com (ozo) — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:05:00 +0000

There is in Egypt now almost 104 Pyramid spread between Giza and even Nubia and almost as it is known that the pyramids were the graves of some of the pharaohs of Egypt, but why they chose the pyramid specifically for the construction of tombs and how they have evolved the idea of building the pyramid and other questions which need our introduction to clarify these questions.
Being the River Nile in Egypt as it is known from south to north and divides Egypt into eastern and western halves, and the ancient Egyptians had lived on the banks of the River Nile and began to establish their civilization on the side and begins the history of Egypt from 3200 BC and is the beginning of a knowledge writing to the Egyptians, either before it is called prehistoric times and since the early times I think the ancient Egyptian in the idea of resurrection after death and life again in another world and came this idea of observation of nature and what is repeated, such as the sun and the flooding of the Nile River, which repeated every year at the same time and culture, which grows again after harvest. And I think the ancient Egyptian life is that the Middle West, while generating means death, as the sun each day from the Middle and die in the West, from this point, we find that all the pyramids of Egypt as tombs and even the tombs of the ancient Egyptians all located west of the Nile with the sole exception of approx. Since the outset, was the burial is in a hole oval shape with a few pots simple inside with the deceased for use in the other world, and if the deceased is buried in the fetal position in the mother's abdomen in order to facilitate the process of birth again, and the face is a vector of the East, and with the passage of time began to widen the hole and that evolved to become a room or two rooms with increased tools developed inside the brick walls and building development and increased thereafter to reach the brick building above-ground rooms and the top of this is what is called Palmsdoba.

The form of a terrace of two degrees

And with the beginning of the Third Dynasty 2780-2680 BC. M appeared Pyramid for the first time of King Djoser at Saqqara, and thanks to the construction of the engineer genius Imhotep, and the meaning of his name (the next in peace), and received by Imhotep, the tribute he wrote King Djoser his name on the base of his statue Royal, who is currently in the Egyptian Museum in a precedent has not been repeated in ancient Egyptian history to write the name of the ordinary person on the statue of the king. This was the first time you use the stones in the construction, and is worth mentioning that the pyramid, which is the burial place of the king is associated with a group of architectural elements and the other representing a funeral for the deceased king.

A general view shows the total of the funeral of King Djoser and Pyramid.

As for the idea of the pyramid in particular has been associated with pyramidal shape with his idea of the emergence of the universe and thought as well, according to some writings and texts religious that the pyramid is a means to help the spirit of the deceased in the access to heaven with the god Ra. And you can sometimes see sunlight between clouds, is take the form of pyramid too, and was also among the many ways that can help them to ascend to heaven. See also Figure pyramid top obelisks and some of the graves of small mines in southern Egypt, even when he thought the kings of the modern state of building cemeteries on the mainland west in the Valley of the Kings and clicked on the soles of the mountain to protect it from theft did not give up the pyramid, which was the representative at the top of the mountain the same and normal.

Landscape illustrates the form of rays of the sun between the clouds

Pyramid of Saqqara

Called the Saqqara region attributed to the Soccer Idol cowardly god when the ancient Egyptians. Imhotep, and has begun in this area build a cemetery Almellk Djoser in the form of a bench and wanted to have the luxury that distinguishes it from other stones and granite used in the construction of the burial chamber, which extends to a depth of 28 meters below the surface of the ground beneath the bench and then edit the design and Bmsdoba rose above the other and a third until he arrived at six degrees and a height of 60 meters along the base of the pyramid is about 130 meters were all from the outside coated with limestone white, and had been found inside the catacombs and corridors of the pyramid on the more than 40 thousand of pottery and alabaster and schist, and others, The ABG Ganasais of King include the addition to the Step Pyramid is also home to the North and another for the south, as the king of Egypt is the king of the north and south together and also include a temple to make offerings for the deceased king and the temple of the funereal rituals and burial, and there is also room next to the pyramid called the basement room by a statue of King Djoser, this statue is a testament to the spirit until you identify the body again.

And with the beginning of the Fourth Dynasty in 2680 BC, began attempts to build a pyramid full in the area Dahshur near Saqqara in the reign of King Senefru but there was an error in the estimation of the angle of construction came obtuse slightly 54 degrees and at a height of 48 meters almost started some of the walls of the pyramid's internal cracking Vqll Engineer Building angle to 43 degrees and reached full height to 101 meters, and appeared in as in the picture and now renamed the pyramid Refractor or twisted. And the second is the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur is also the first true pyramid was built in Msriz angle of 43 degrees and almost 99 meters high, and clothing was white limestone pyramids.

Pyramids of Giza

The Great Pyramid (Khufu)

One of the seven wonders of the world and occupies an area of 13 acres and the original height of 146 meters and is currently almost 137 m and along the rib base 230 meters. As for the weights of cut stones range between tons and eight tons or more. The owner of King Khufu's pyramid is 2650 BC. M, the abbreviation for the name (Khanom Wei Wei F) in the sense god Khnum to protect me. But do you imagine that this king, the author of this construction giant did not find him, except on the statue of one very small grow to 7.5 cm approximately and of later times, where the king to prevent at this time to establish or carving any statues, where we have not found the statues of large-scale In this period, only one statue and was hidden in the tomb of Prince Ra-hotep and his wife and perhaps the king wanted to start his own statues in preventing the establishment.

The only statue of King Khufu is made of ivory length of not more than 7,5 cm and found a broken head and the authors observed that the exploration drilling and fracture Nohatoa Mounth interview, which was found and where the workers culling the sand for 14 days until they found on the head. Building the Great Pyramid took almost twenty years and building corridors and the lower parts of the pyramid ten years and that, according to the Greek historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the fourth century BC, after more than 2000 years of building the pyramid and heard these stories and other Some priests and narrators. Cut stones used in building the Great Pyramid from the area surrounding the pyramid, and stones cover the outside of the area of Jabal Tura stones and granite used in the inner rooms of the quarries of Aswan and they come out through the River Nile, which was up to the pyramids at the time. Stones were cut and separated from each other through work at distances of closely spaced holes in the stone pieces to be cut and then may be some wooden pegs and the ways it put the water with them and drink more water, wood grown in size in a piece of stone and with the persistence of them separated from the some of which is then refined and refined by using a stronger type of stone such as granite or diorite. Ancient Egyptians used - and as in the image - through the sand to build the pyramids where placed cut stones on the flip flops, wooden, bottom of palm trunks tables work Kajlat and is withdrawn skis ropes and oxen with spraying water on the sand to facilitate the process of withdrawal, and the greater the height increased in the sand until the top of the pyramid is then Apparel pyramid limestone smooth from top to bottom and remove the sand gradually.

It is believed that this road sand around the pyramid was either in one direction or in a circle around the pyramid in full. And Some believe that the idea of using the sand and removed again after the construction of the pyramid is an achievement in itself may exceed the completion of building the pyramid itself, as it requires a meter height of not less than ten meters length and thus the length of the sandy road in the direction one almost of 1460 meters, kilometers and a half ago and is of course a very difficult, and indeed structures of bone, which has been found for workers next to the pyramids shows some distortions in the backbone a result of heavy loads. It is worth mentioning the idea in the sandy road that he had discovered the remains of this method were used to build a High-rise edifices Temple of Luxor.

Change the interior design of the pyramid more than once they started development of the burial chamber below ground, such as the pyramid of Saqqara and then moved to lap the second is now called the name of the Queen's Bedroom and finally transferred to the cabin of existing and established engineer above five small rooms finished higher, including the roof shaped like a triangle in order to alleviate The weight of the stones of the pyramid on the burial chamber.

Form showing the determination of the burial chamber and above rooms to ease the weight on the burial chamber

Also see the main entrance of the pyramid takes a shape of a triangle also to distribute the weight of the stones and mitigate the entrance is now closed and the current entrance to the pyramid was opened in the reign of Caliph al-Mamun dynamite, believing the existence of the treasures inside the pyramid.

The main entrance of the pyramid, the largest and below the current entrance.

Interestingly, as well as the Muhammad Ali of Egypt, 1805-1841 AD, Think of the demolition of the Great Pyramid and the use of stones in the construction of barrages of charitable and other buildings, but they found that the cost of bringing a new Stone cheaper and easier than the demolition of the pyramid and the transfer of stones again, and has been used already some of the stones from the pyramids of different building some of the mosques and buildings in Egypt, where we sometimes see some hieroglyphic inscriptions in the Islamic buildings in the street of goats and walls of Cairo, and others. Remember novels that the number of workers was nearly one hundred thousand workers and the workers were splitting up into permanent work throughout the year in construction and seasonal workers and farmers are already and they work construction period flooding of the Nile where there is no agriculture in that period. And has found homes and cemeteries for the workers next to the Pyramids of Giza and the food the main depends on the bread and drink beer (Bzmsnua of Alsaireetm placed in water or milk until it fermented and contains this mixture on the percentage of natural antibiotics), while Remember the recent discovery that the number of workers was in the range of 20 thousand workers and that the only food was meat and cows are slaughtered daily. Strange about the Great Pyramid also that despite the very large size, it was attributed to the king Cheops, quoting the ancient and especially Herodotus and did not find what refers to King Khufu, but in the 19 century where he found (the year 17 of the reign of King Cheops) written in red ink three o'clock in the roof of the cabin above the burial chamber and it seems to have started by a worker during the construction of the pyramid.
And has been building the Great Pyramid so that the faces and facades four cardinal points and proved to be stones to each other by the vacuum between them, and perhaps through the work of several openings or holes in a piece of stone and holes similar to it at the front of the piece the other to be attracted to Lakett be These holes are facing in the same place is a dump and air them, which leads to cohesion force (the idea of vacuum in rubber adhesive, which sticks to the glass). And there are even now remains of the temple of King Khufu Ganazy in the eastern part of the pyramid, the Valley Temple and there are bad fat under the area near the pyramid and is currently manned population. As for the accuracy of building the pyramid we find the average error in the length of its aspects does not exceed 1: 4000, and that the intervals between some of the stones does not exceed half a millimeter, which is not allowed to access their source code. Is it possible to build such precision and perfection to be built and forced coercion or that the spirit of satisfaction and the desire to creativity is the motive for such action .... ?

The burial chamber and the granite sarcophagus of King Khufu

Allowed Khufu to his family and his relatives and his senior staff in the administration of cemeteries in the eastern part of the Great Pyramid, where they found the Pyramids of Queens and the tombs of his brothers and others of them or of King Khufu and called (Hetepheres) and not without her own story of novelty when he found a well Necropolis blocked with stones without any building it and when they arrived to the cemetery and found their contents piled on top of each and the ark of alabaster closed cover, and the name of the queen and her husband, Bent written on the furniture, but they found a coffin free from the mummy, and explained one of the archaeologists that the matter is that the tomb of Queen original was in Dahshur near When the pyramid of her husband and little interest in that area and stole her grave, especially gold and jewelry and take the robbers, including the mummy of jewelry and gold and the discovery of theft, the guards ordered the transfer of the rest of the contents of the tomb quickly to the small well, which is not worthy of his property, such as Hetepheres and that the transfer of the coffin and put a cover it in that form is proof that they hid the theft is for King Cheops.

Papyrus describes the design calculations and drawings of the pyramid of the State Central

Of course, has the Great Pyramid without other than the stories and rumors since the foot and so far as he was hidden secrets of the universe or its association with the continent lost Atlantis, or even as before, some people who come for Hajj at the Great Pyramid, and others who have lost their minds and their ability to distinguish, however, is also clear evidence of the ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians in geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and management systems.
