World’s Tallest Structure For 3,871 Years!
The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest human-made structure for almost 4,000 years! Then the Lincoln Cathedral was built in 1311. This Cathedral took 200 years to be built.
The Cathedral central structure collapsed in 1549 which means it was the world’s tallest building for 238 years. Compare that to 3800 of the Pyramid!
Last Ancient Wonder
Just like the current 7 Wonders of the World, there were 7 Ancient Wonders of the World of which the Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one standing. For thousands of years, the Pyramid has remained intact in the face of natural destruction or even human intervention.
The Wonders That Fell
The six other wonders could not stand the test of time. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Statue of Zeus both were destroyed by earthquakes. The Temple of Artemis was torn down by a mob. As far as the Colossus of Rhodes is concerned the legends say that it was bought and melted down by a merchant in 654 CE.
Not Made By Egyptian?
Scientists have not been able to explain EXACTLY how the Egyptians made the pyramids with just wood and rope? According to the Egyptians did not have the tools to create something like the pyramids which has led to the theory that maybe the pyramids were not actually built by the Egyptians.
Chamber Creates Energy?
Pyramids are thought to have more to them than what meets the eye and what has been discovered by them till now. Do pyramids hold some higher energy? After finding this hidden chamber the scientists conducted a study. Not so surprisingly, they found that the electromagnetic energy of the Great Pyramid was concentrated in its internal rooms.
Higher energy is found in the chambers where there are the remains of Khufu and his wife and the hidden chamber.
The Statue
Just last week, on August 1st, a statement was issued by the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt that a new discovery has been made in the pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara. A team stumbled upon a priceless statue of one significant Egyptian Gods — Osiris.
The discovery is baffling as the researchers cannot figure out who placed such a precious statue of a valuable figure inside the pyramid and why. The speculation by the head is that “the statue was probably concealed in this area by a priest of Saqqara in antiquity.”
