Early Pyramids The building of pyramids first started around 2700 B.C. when the first step pyramid was built for King Zoser in Saqqara‚ Egypt.

It is also nearly impossible for the Egyptians to have lifted and moved the limestone brick used to build these massive structures. Only a more advanced form of life could have constructed such an enormous undertaking‚ while using advanced mathematics and geography that were not yet known to ancient peoples. Archeologists suggest that

There are various interpretations of how the Great Pyramid was constructed‚ the three main explanations are: Von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods‚ Davidovits/Morris’s An Enigma Solved as well as the more traditional theory‚ that the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid themselves by Sears/Wilson.

been interested by the Ancient Egyptians and their ability to make pyramids. I find it really interesting how they were able to build pyramids of that size and style‚ especially so early on in human history. It is also interesting how they were able to make the pyramids in such a short amount of time. While it took about twenty years for the Great Pyramid of Giza to be built‚ it often took only ten years for the majority pyramids to be built. I also find the artwork and hieroglyphics extremely interesting
