11 Pyramids in Dahshour km away from south Giza Pyramids, and 10 km to the south of Sakara, Dahshour area, Gardens of Dahshour, are located. At that time-honoured site, the entire world will witness the Pyramids of the Great Pharaoh Sinphro, which were, for a long time, hidden beyond wired monitoring towers awaiting to be unearthed. What a fortune! The whole world will get sight of the ever unique curved pyramid - the sign of the culmination of pyramids architecture - along with the Red Pyramid which is deemed to be the second biggest pyramid in Egypt, and the Black Pyramid that was made of mud by King Amnemhat III during the Middle Kingdom time, in addition to many other completed and incomplete pyramids. At this area, Dahshour, which had been isolated since 1967, 11 pyramids together with a number of pharaonic mastabas (step tiles) and tombs of nobles and statesmen will be revealed to tell the history of our grandfathers. These fantastic pyramids, however, date back to the Fourth Dynasty BC, during which Egypt, the good earth of peace and prosperity, underwent favorable and prosperous time, as nobles, chavaliers used to put on the most wonderful garments, to eat ambrosia yielded by the everlasting River Nile, and to sing and dance on the tone of tenuous charming music. Hosting a wealth Among such 11 pyramids, comes the Red Pyramid at the very forefront, as it is the oldest pyramid that could match the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The Fourth Dynasty, according to historians, had experienced the culmination of the pyramids' architecture, as the Red Pyramid is the first real one in the history of the Egyptian architecture. 2600 years BC, Sinphro, the King, breathed his last after 24 years straight in power, leaving the throne for his son King Cheops who succeeded him and took the reign of power.

We've Covered the different pyramids of Egypt in our Monuments section under the Antiquities page; however, this area is dedicated to the construction and architecture of the pyramids, how they were built, and the evolution in design from the step pyramid to the true pyramid. Beginning with the step pyramids of the 3rd Dynasty , and continuing for centuries, the pyramid is a marvel of construction, and is considered one of the "Seven wonders of the world." The pyramids are the only of these seven that remain standing and intact. The Step Pyramid In this section we discuss the design and construction of the step pyramids of the early dynasties. These pyramids were large, but due to their structure, not nearly as large as the true pyramids. The True Pyramid Here you can find information on the design and construction methods of the true pyramid.

PYRAMIDS OF MEXICO Deep within the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala and extending into the limestone shelf of the Yucatan peninsula lie the mysterious temples and pyramids of the Maya. While Europe was still in the midst of the Dark Ages, these amazing people had mapped the heavens, evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were masters of mathematics. They invented the calendars we use today. Without metal tools, beasts of burden or even the wheel they were able to construct vast cities across a huge jungle landscape with an amazing degree of architectural perfection and variety. Their legacy in stone, which has survived in a spectacular fashion at places such as Palenque, Tikal, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Copan and Uxmal, lives on as do the seven million descendants of the classic Maya civilization. The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatan around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing.

One of the oldest mysteries surrounding ancient Egypt concerns the building of the pyramids. How did humans move such massive blocks of stone using only Stone Age tools? The Egyptians left thousands of illustrations depicting daily life in the Old Kingdom. Curiously enough, none of them show how pyramids were built. A pyramid is a tomb, a four-sided stone structure that symbolizes the sacred mountain, humanity’s universal striving to reach the heavens. The ancient belief in raising the human spirit towards the gods is the quintessential purpose behind the construction of pyramids. Even today, pyramids are metaphors for humanity’s search for higher consciousness. T he IMAX film Mysteries of Egypt features the pyramids at Giza , just west of Cairo.

They were built by three pharaohs - Cheops (or Khufu Chephren (Khafre ) and Mycerinus (Menkaure ) - during the second half of the third millennium B.C. This site is one of the seven classic wonders of the ancient world , the only one that has survived the passage of time. The other six are the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (in Bodrum, Turkey), the statue of Zeus at Olympia (Greece), the Colossus of Rhodes, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (Turkey), the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Pharos of Alexandria. T he Great Pyramid of Cheops , the largest of the three at Giza, is estimated to comprise as many as 2.5 million limestone blocks with an average weight estimated at 2.5 tonnes (2.5 tons). The entire structure was encased in a fine white polished limestone brought from the hills at Tura, on the opposite side of the Nile. This highly prized material was removed in the 16th century and used to decorate mosques in Cairo. W hen completed, the Great Pyramid stood 146.6 metres (481 feet) tall, and its base was 230.3 metres (756 feet) square. The capstones (pyramidions) of all the pyramids were made of solid polished granite. For conservation reasons, they have been removed to the

QUICK LINKS Home page Archaeology Arts and Crafts Civilizations Cultures First Peoples History Treasures Military history Artifact catalogue Library catalogue Other Web sites Boutique Pyramid Construction P yramids were constructed by large work gangs over a period of many years. The Pyramid Age spans over a thousand years, starting in the third dynasty and ending in the Second Intermediate Period. The Greek historian Herodotus was told that it took 100,000 men 20 years to build the Great Pyramid at Giza. Scholars today, however, think it may have been built by only 20,000 men over 20 years. A pyramid's large square base creates a very stable structure. A number of astronomical observations were used to precisely align its corners with the four cardinal points. Approximately 80% of the building materials are found in the lower half. This means that relatively few stone blocks were hauled to the upper levels. Since pyramids are solid, no walls or pillars were required to support the structure. Despite its simple design, a pyramid is an incredible engineering feat. Several theories attempt to explain how pyramids were constructed, but for now, the mystery has yet to be solved. O ne theory suggests that causeways were used to haul the stone blocks on wooden sleds up the side of the pyramids. The ramps were lubricated with water to reduce friction when hauling the blocks. As few as 10 men were needed to drag a stone block up a ramp. There may have been several ramps on each side of the pyramid at different levels, and a ramp may have been coiled around the pyramid as it grew in height. Once a stone block reached its desired level, wooden rockers may have been used to manoeuvre it into position.

Photographs of Maya ruins of Tikal showing how Hasselblad cameras and Zeiss lenses result in better pictures of the pyramids and temples of Tikal. Tikal Temple I and the Great Plaza. Temple I is the mortuary monument erected to commemorate Ruler A, who is interred in Burial 116 beneath this pyramid. One of his sons was buried about 100 yards diagonally across this plaza, under Structure 5D-73, in the Tomb of the Jade Jaguar. The photographs on this page were taken with a Hasselblad ELX camera and Zeiss 50mm wide angle lens, using a polarizing filter. Photography was programmed for December, the height of the rainy season, in order to get the full green of the surrounding jungle. Too many photos of Maya ruins are taken in the dry season, when the grass is wilted and the trees have lost their leaves. Want to see a colorful pre-Columbian image like this on paper? Scan the transparency and then use a Hewlett-Packard DesignJet wide format color inkjet printer. The quality approaches that of an enlargement produced on photo paper by professional lab. Scanned on a Scitex EverSmart Pro flatbed scanner (www.flatbed-scanner-review.org). Telephoto view of Temple I taken from the Central Acropolis across the Great Plaza. The entire structure was originally plastered white. Then the roof comb was painted with reds, blues, and other colors to accent the different areas of sculptural decoration. These roof combs were like giant billboards, with immense portrayals of the enthroned king, larger than life size. The stone used to construct these pyramids is local limestone, obtained from nearby quarries. The ancient Maya had no stone tools but limestone is soft enough that the Maya could utilize chert tools to work the stone into neat rectangular building blocks.

Buildings and landscapes, temples, Mother of all - Earth, the physics of invisible and immortal David Pinnegar BSC ARCS An old man once asked what was the difference between someone from the town and someone from the countryside. " The town man ", he said, " is clever. The country man is wise Town men might laugh at the bee-keeper talking to his bees or the seedsman talking to his plants and tell them that they are mad. When a swarm of wild bees in the walls of Hammerwood heard a bee-keeper proposing to kill them for fear of the spread of disease, the bees heard him and felt my fear for them! Within two hours they had fled elsewhere. Increasingly that which was unimaginable is now understandable. What would the medieval peasant have thought about that biblical story of Adam being put to sleep, cut open, the extraction of a rib and his being sewn back together, alive? In the past, life was simple - it was all a matter of belief. As we ate of the tree of knowledge, life became less clear. With imperfect knowledge Darwinists told us that we evolved from a primeval sea of life and they disrupted the faith of many. Yet scientific understanding of the DNA mechanism may yet confirm conclusively our old beliefs. If life ever evolved from chaos, the ancient myths suggest that it did so in another creation. What was light long ago has faded into darkness. Imperfect knowledge plunges us into a sea of uncertainty but in the deeper knowledge of science we rediscover the beauty of creation. The job common to artists, priests and scientists is to make that which was invisible visible. The task of the museum curator is to preserve the source materials.
