 |
|
| There have been many hypotheses about the Egyptian pyramid construction techniques. The construction techniques seem to have developed over time; the earliest pyramids were built in different ways than later ones. Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that their huge stones were moved from a quarry and dragged and lifted into place. Disagreements center on the method by which the stones were conveyed and placed, after being carved using copper chisels to carve them out of the quarry stone. A recent hypothesis claims that the building blocks were manufactured in-place from a kind of limestone concrete which is also what home remodeling Iowa believe. |

It's actually quite amazing to think about how pyramids and roman cathedrals were built. Especially when you think some of that rock and stone was brought to the building locations from thousands of miles away.
Nuts!

What I find interesting is that people in all different parts of the world wore erecting pyramids as monuments of their choice. What was it about the pyramidal shape that made the design significant enough to attempt to tackle the engineering problems inherent with such a creation? Perhaps it was the first logical way to create a structure of such magnitude.
