Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and all sorts of mysteries attaching to them, have intrigued people since the second century BCE. Why were these particular creations chosen and when? And why did the ancients want to draw up such a list in the first place? What were the technical and cultural factors involved in the creation and listing of the Wonders? The Seven Wonders still rival many of the phenomenal products of both nature and mankind in their size, majesty, and beauty. Six of them no longer stand, having been destroyed by natural disaster or by human intervention. From the Pyramids at Giza to the Colossus of Rhodes, from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the Lighthouse of Alexandria, from the Temple of Ephesus to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have never ceased to fascinate down the ages.

Book excerpt: A Children's Pyramid Book Filled With Pictures And Facts!Pyramids Facts You've probably heard about pyramids, but do you know how they were built? Do you know that Giza's pyramids were the only Ancient Seven Wonders of the World to be built by slaves? Or that they were erected on high ground? Here are some Pyramids Facts to make you more curious. Keeping these Pyramids Facts in mind can help you learn more about these enigmatic structures. Ancient Egyptians built the Giza pyramids The Egyptians constructed these monumental structures on the slopes of the plateau where they stood. The pyramids are aligned on the southeast corner and began at the same elevation. The Egyptians may have constructed the pyramids using ramps to level the perimeter and the stone from the Mokattam formation quarries were used to build the inner walls. Archaeologists have discovered a 4,600 year-old papyrus scroll that explains the construction of the pyramids. The building of these monuments required skilled workers. The stone used to construct these monuments was quarried locally, with limestone casing imported from Tura. Some rooms were cased with Aswan granite. Some stone blocks bear marks of quarry workers. Part-time crews probably supplemented the year-round skilled workers. It is estimated that at least 100,000 men were employed to construct the pyramids. The construction took twenty years and required more than 2 million stone blocks. They are the only one of the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the seven ancient wonders of the world. It is one of a group of three pyramids that were constructed by the Egyptians 4,000 years ago. They were constructed to honor the deceased pharaoh Khufu, and their wives, Khafra and Menkaura. The Great Pyramid is one of the largest structures in the world, occupying 13 acres of land. It contains about two million stone blocks weighing two to thirty tons each. The list was first used by the Hellenic travelers who travelled through Egypt and the Persian lands, recording the wonders they found there in their travel journals and artwork. The poet Antipater of Sidon also celebrated these ancient engineering feats with poetry and songs. The list does not include any of the wonders from other parts of the world, including Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. They were built on high ground Early builders had to figure out the best way to move stone. One example is the tomb of Djehutihotep in the Twelfth Dynasty, where 172 men pulled a sixty-ton statue onto the top of the pyramid. Another example comes from Denys Stocks' calculation that it would take forty-five men to move a sixteen-ton block of stone. But as archaeologists have demonstrated, this isn't always possible. Instead, Dr. R. H. G. Parry suggested a new method: rolling stones. He also suggested using a cradle-like machine to roll the stones up. The Great Pyramid contains two separate tunnel systems. One corresponds to earlier monuments, while the upper was secreted and hid for much longer. The lower tunnel begins on the north side, with a hidden entrance 56 feet above ground. It then leads to the Subterranean Chamber, where the king's burial chamber was located. It is inaccessible to visitors today, but there is a pit that was dug into its floor.

Book Synopsis Pyramids and Literature in Ancient Egypt by : Asher Benowitz
Download or read book Pyramids and Literature in Ancient Egypt written by Asher Benowitz and published by DTTV PUBLICATIONS. This book was released on with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pyramids have been around for thousands of years, but we still don't know exactly how they were built. The oldest pyramids are found at Giza and Saqqara. The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and was built during the fourth dynasty (2575-2150 BC). During this time, there was also an increase in writing, literature, and artisanship. The Westcar Papyrus tells us of three royal women who lived during the 4th dynasty: Khufu's mother Henutsen, his wife Hetepheres I, and her sister Meresankh II. The latter was also his daughter-in-law because she married his son Khafre (ruled 2558–2532 BC). She may have been buried inside this pyramid when she died at age 26. The first hieroglyphic text was written on papyrus in about 3100 B.C. It is from a chapter from The Book Of Journey To Heaven (called book 6), which describes how Ra travels with Thoth as they visit each nome (district) throughout Egypt during a period called "the Festival Of Night," where they praise Osiris while traveling through space towards his underworld kingdom every year at midnight between June 21st/22nd - July 21st/22nd when Orion rises as Sirius sets below it just before dawn on these days known later as Dog Days because dogs often suffer heat exhaustion then too due to lack of moisture caused by intense sunlight reflecting off asphalt surfaces like sidewalks or blacktop parking lots heating up too much due to all that reflected energy bouncing back into our faces which makes us sweat which causes dehydration if we don't drink enough water!

Book excerpt: The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. This book identifies the purpose of the structure, what it was making, and the significance of this substance. The world is dominated by an all-encompassing hierarchical system that is in and of itself involved in a relentless pursuit of money and energy extracted from the masses. So what is money? It can ultimately be traced in root to an element known as gold. It has been this way for thousands of years. So why is gold the chosen foundational token propping up the global economy?
Book Synopsis The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by : Peter A. Clayton
Download or read book The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World written by Peter A. Clayton and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988. Can you name the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? Did they even exist? The Pharos at Alexandria survived into the Middle Ages, but the Hanging Gardens of Babylon exist only in references by ancient authors and the Colossus of Rhodes if too improbable to have existed in the form and place traditionally ascribed to it. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World sets the record straight, with an attractive account of each Wonder in the context in which it was built. The authors combine ancient sources with the results of modern scholarship and excavations to recreate a vivid picture of the Seven Wonders. All experts in their specialist fields, the contributors bring together facts and background that are remarkably difficult to find from any other single source and establish for the fist time the archaeology and location of each Wonder.
