Egypt - the country of pyramids. This world famous statement immediately is associated with three main pyramids of this country - the pyramids of Giza, which for several thousand years of protecting the silent sphinx.
"Everything fears time, but time fears the pyramids" - an old statement, but it is more than true. Since then, in the third millennium BC on the Giza plateau near ancient Memphis, the city of the dead on the west bank of the Nile were three large pyramids, swept thousands of years, have sunk into oblivion whole country and the people rocked countless wars and The Great Pyramids are also standing around the now modern Cairo, being the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.
Pyramids in Egypt survived more than a hundred, but the Pyramids of Giza - a real card of that country. So far there is no exact answer, as they were built. Researchers have put forward one version after another, but none was unable to give an exact answer - a multi-ton blocks fitted to each other so as not to push than between them, could supply one another with such accuracy that envy and modern mathematics . Because the weight of some of the blocks in this reached 80 tons, and there have been, for example, the construction of the pyramid of Cheops - 2.3 million.
Pyramid of Cheops, built in the 26 th century BC for Khufu, the second pharaoh IV dynasty, is the tallest and most famous of the Egyptian pyramids, its height during the construction was 146.6 meters, and now that after several earthquakes of stones fell, it is 137 meters. Along with the pyramid of Cheops Pyramid of Khafre stands that visually appears above its predecessor. However, it is not - just a pyramid built on a slight increase, in fact its height - 136 meters, and in the construction of the pyramid was higher by 9 meters. Ensemble of Great pyramids of Menkaure pyramid completes, whose construction was completed around 2504 BC Pyramid of Menkaure - the smallest of the three, its height is only 66 meters.
Pyramids of Giza are inconceivable without the Great Sphinx. This ancient guardian of peace eternal sleep sleeping pharaohs, whose height of 20 meters and length - 57.3 m, is the oldest and largest surviving sculpture. So far there is no exact answer to the question when and who created the Sphinx. Some scientists claim that he was at the same time as the Pyramid of Khafre, and the features of his face behold the face of the pharaoh Khafre (Chephren), others find that person completely like Khafre and carries features, more , blacks. Still others claim that the person sphinx proportionally unequal body was redesigned with a lion's head.
Deep grooves on the body of the Sphinx explain some influence erosion from water that reached these places during heavy rains in the period from 7000 to 5000 BC, which makes the Sphinx is much older than the pyramids. Others on the basis of age increased erosion of the Sphinx further - up to 10 000 years BC or older at the time of sending us the biblical flood and even the death of the legendary Atlantis.
In any case, the riddle of the Sphinx, and many secrets of the pyramids, yet may be solved in the future. And, indeed, another ancient proverb says: "When speak Sphinx, life on Earth come from the usual range." So maybe it's better this already mysterious "Father of Terror" as the Arabs called him longer silent?
