The Theories On The Construction Of The Pyramids Of Giza

Theories on the construction of the Pyramids of Giza There are certain historical elements of the world that are difficult to understand or explain. However, historians, scholars and scientists often come up with theories that attempt to explain these mysteries. Among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the Great Pyramid of Giza. The pyramid is in Egypt and is one of the mysteries that little is known about from the ancient world. Having such few details to explain how this pyramid was constructed has led to the development of a wide variety of theories, all trying to explain how the pyramids came to be. Most of the theories tap into the Egyptian history and incorporate concepts from the ancient Egyptian way of life (Davidovits & Morris, 1988). Other theories are based on mere speculation and have little or no evidence to support them. In this perspective, the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza remains a mystery, but it is important to explore some of the theories brought forward on how this wonder of the world came to be.
David Davidovits and Margie Morris. In their book, The Pyramids: An Enigma Solved, the scientists bring forward a theory on how they believe the Pyramid was constructed (Davidovits & Morris, 1988). In this theory, the two scientists argue that the pyramid is made from limestone blocks. From the explanation given by these theorists, the blocks used to build the pyramids were made from limestone, cement and water. The builders would then pour a slurry mixture onto molds that would shape the mixture into blocks as desired (Davidovits & Morris, 1988). These scientists argue that the process of building pyramids was easy and uncomplicated, hence the speed with which the pyramids came up. Many scholars have come forward to refute this theory arguing that it uses little or no evidence to explicate its
