Reasonable theory for pyramid building mystery

The secret of building the pyramids, and how the 2.6 million pieces of stone are stuck without cement!

Stones and blocks weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons,the weight of a piece in the roof of the tomb of one of the kings 70 tons ,
which is equivalent to the weight of a railway locomotive.
That's why pyramid building is a mystery,
How did those stones be raised?
Note that the height of the Great Pyramid reaches 149.4 meters,
146 meters, or a skyscraper of 48 floors! It is the highest building in the world for 4,500 years,

All of this was covered with Limestone then coated with drawings and paints of gold ,
scientist say that the reflection of sunlight on the pyramids can be seen from the moon,But the earthquake in 13th century took it down.




The strange thing for me was not how did they build the pyramid , inside the pyramid the room which you find the tomb of the king,
The sealing of this room is just one block of smooth granite weight 70 tons no mind can explain?!!!
Why there are no status for this king Khufu found in any place near the pyramids?!


What is the relation between the height of the pyramid and the distance between the earth and the sun?
The height of the pyramid is 149.4 meters and the distance between the earth and the sun is 149.4 million km!

pyramid in the middle of the five continents exactly.

What is the relation of the pyramid to the magnetic north
And how the pyramid is destined for the four directions east, west, south and north
And not any north is the magnetic north, which deviates from the geographical north by four degrees!
How far pharouhs knew mathimatics,Astronomy

Here is the most Reasonable theory for pyramid building mystery,

The nanotechnology has proved that there are quantities of water in the pyramids.
 X-rays have shown that there are air bubbles in the samples of the stones taken, such as the moisture in the air,
and the latter may have been formed during the casting of stones from mud.
Treatment - Not usually found in natural stones and traditional sedimentary rocks.

Joseph Davidovits is a French scientist and chemist,
More info about Davidovits,
with a number of researchs in French and German universities in chemistry,
a high-class academic man. He received a number of awards for his scientific achievements,
the greatest of which was his contribution to a new branch of chemistry known as Geopolymer.


Davidovits saw that the stones of the pyramid were not cut into one piece,
but they were made of lime, sodium carbonate and other materials in wooden molds.
He presented four theories to his theory. Scientific proof. And empirical proof where he made similar stones,
a third religious proof based on ancient Egyptian doctrine and a fourth proof inspired by hieroglyphic texts.

After several experiments in the laboratory,
He was able to produce a stone mold similar to the pyramids, which were chemically installed.

To come to the subject of the convergence of the adjacent stones, which denies that they were brought and then sculpted,
and the most realistic and intelligent possibility that the clay poured in wooden blocks compact and reusable, came the forms of stones are similar,
and after casting was to heat it's role,
a method known in the old construction of ovens or stoves For the manufacture of clay statues mixed with minerals and some natural materials,
after igniting the fire until it harden and freeze.
Although this discovery, which has been in the shadows since 1981,
was rediscovered in 2006 by sophisticated laboratory tests that do not doubt it, Egyptian scientists rejected the Davidovits theory.!!!!
It's very strange to reject such a theory ,even so there are still many questions with no answers around the pyramids  as we had passed by in this post ,so it's still a great wonder for all the world solving how it was built will not effect that.


يقول الله تعالى: «وقال فرعون يا أيها الملأ ما علمت لكم من إله غيري فأوقد لي يا هامان على الطين فاجعل لي صرحاً لعلي أطلع إلى إله موسى

Quran Say : "And Pharaoh said, O public, I have not taught you of any God other than me, O Haman, Light fire on the clay,and make me a monument that I may raise to the God of Moses ..."
so the Quran here gave us the same idea of building a very high monument ...

Cats in the Pharouah land

Cats were known in ancient Egypt as "Mao" and had an important place in ancient Egyptian society.

Ancient Egyptian had been sanctifying cats,
so they frequently appeared on Pharaonic temples and they called it goddess "Bastet" and was a symbol of fertility, love, tenderness and protection for pregnant women.

The predatory face was of the predatory goddess Sekhmet,
which took the form of the lioness and was the other angry face of Bastit.
In some texts the name "pastet" is accompanied by a figurative symbol like a cat sitting in the house.

Based on recent DNA comparisons of living species,
it is estimated that cats were first reintroduced about 10,000 years ago and thousands of years later,
the ancient Egyptian religion became related to animals, including cats.
Because of its insect control and ability to kill snakes like cobra,
the domesticated cat became a symbol of grace and balance. Then, over time,
its deity became protection, fertility, and motherhood
As an important sacred animal in Egyptian society and religion,
some cats received the same embalming after death as humans. In 1888,
an Egyptian farmer discovered a large tomb of about 80,000 mummified cats,
near the town of Bani Hassan,
believed to have been plowed after 1000 BC.
Jennifer Crochema, head of the research team at the University of California Davis,
that all cat breeds that exist in the world from the original origin of Pharaonic Egypt,
and that the Pharaohs are the first to succeed in the hybridization of cats
The killing of cats was a crime punishable by the laws of ancient Egypt with the most severe punishments,
The ancient Egyptian had a great respect for cats,
and the historian Herodotus said that when the death of the cat,
the owner shaved eyebrows hair to express grief and pain.

Cats army:

When Qambiz II of Persia declared war against the Egyptians in the Battle of Pelusium in 525 BC, he used cats in that battle.
Cats had a sacred place in the ancient Egyptian civilization and the death penalty was imposed,
and this is what the Persians sought to use against the Egyptians.
He ordered his men to paint the cats on their armor and brought hundreds of cats to the first ranks of the army.
The plan succeeded in rejecting the Egyptians for fear of the death penalty;

Little known secrets of the key of life

Ankh or the Key of life Secrets

Egyptology call it the key of life.
It represents the elements of male and female life in a proper formality and a symbol of the fact that the fruitful union is a gift from God.
Why did they draw it in almost all the temples and tombs ?
What did they want us to know about? 

 Ancient medicine.

It is said that the ancient Egyptians used the key of life in medicine which takes the character of magic, they called it then the veil and thought it has the ability to give power and life and protect from evil,and they use this key made of metal to deal with bites of snakes and scorpions ..They believed that the toxin could be stopped by placing it for a fixed period on the sting, while old doctors used it to relieve pain and used it as an antibiotic in some cases.

What about modern science ?

Modern Medicine (Energy Therapy).

Based on modern scientific evidence, scientists have recognized that the symbol of the key "Ankh",
is the only geometric shape capable of reorganizing and renewing energy in the place where it is located,

American physicist Walter Bowman Russell,
Came to the conclusion that the universe was created and developed because of the interaction between two main energies,
the Electric energy versus the magnetic energy.
 Did Walter Bowmen Russell get his idea from the pharaohs?,let's check this out.

 

Nikola Tesla Serbian American inventor (1856-1943),
"the greatest electrical engineer in history",
as some have said about him, and his success in transmitting power wireless in several separate experiments.
When two light-emitting gas lamps were lit without wires depending on the magnetic field of the AC

It is a symbol of the balance between the two energies, That's why it is mainly used in the science of energy therapy,
which is an essential tool to control the vital energy of some patients,
many people put the key to life in their homes it helps to spread electromagnetic energy Balanced in the place where it is placed,
and this energy positively affect the behavior and temperament of the people present and feel comfortable.
Lets get back to the pharaohs meaning for the key of life .
Pharaohs in their science that electricity is the sun energy,
which they considered masculine, Magnetism is the energy of the moon and the feminine,
and found that life arose as a result of the balance and interaction between them.
At last Ankh or the Key of life not all secrets revealed about it ,was a symbol of eternal life among the ancient Egyptians, was used by the Egyptians Pharaohs as a symbol of life after death,
and was carried by the gods and the kings of the Pharaohs.
