Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The designs of the pyramids of ancient Egypt evolved over time; they had connections with the ancient myths, legends, and with the stars as they were in ancient times. When pyramid dimensions are converted to 'cubits' and 'seked,' revealing relationships emerge that were obscured by using using modern units. All of the energy of building came from manpower, courtesy of the energy consumed in the workers' food and drink. The mathematics of ramp construction, and of the use of ramps to convey stones at the phenomenal rates apparently achieved, challenge pet theories of construction. Most captivating is a study of the culture of the builders, evidenced in models of villages and farms, scenes of food preparation, toys, statues, magic, and tomb art.

Book Synopsis Voyages of the Pyramid Builders by : Robert M. Schoch
Download or read book Voyages of the Pyramid Builders written by Robert M. Schoch and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-05-24 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found throughout our globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time, such as the ancient Egyptians; early Bud-dhists; the Maya, Inca, Toltec, and Aztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois, simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures? Robert M. Schoch-one of the world's preeminent geologists in recasting the date of the building of the Great Sphinx-believes otherwise. In this dramatic and meticulously reasoned book, Schoch, like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classic Kon-Tiki, argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea. Indeed, he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the Eastern continent, primarily Southeast Asia, and spread the idea of pyramids across the globe, particularly to the New World of the Americas where they abounded until the days of the Conquistadors.

Book Synopsis The Great Pyramid by : Robert Carson
Download or read book The Great Pyramid written by Robert Carson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Carson's The Great Pyramid – The Inside Story is a comprehensive account of how the ancient pyramid builders constructed the Great Pyramid and its companions.This book will turn everything that you thought you knew about the Great Pyramid on its head, for if the author is correct in his assumption that the internal features of the structure are the hard evidence that prove conclusively how the Great Pyramid was constructed, he truly has solved this five thousand year old mystery. The author takes us on a journey as he reconstructs the Great Pyramid course by course. Along the way, we discover why each of the chambers, passageways and shafts in this great structure were created. Long before any sort of pattern emerges the reader is left in no doubt as to the great physical and logistical issues the builders of the Great Pyramid had to deal with in order to establish this structure on the Giza Plateau. It becomes abundantly clear at a very early stage of the reconstruction that the construction of the Great Pyramid was not a simple matter of building up the structure one course at a time. We discover that the greatest challenge of all in constructing such a structure is in maintaining the pyramid shape and it is this factor more than any other that determined the internal shape of the structure at every stage of the construction. Could the internal spaces – the chambers, passageways and shafts –within these structures really hold the key to how they were constructed? The author makes the claim that this book is an A to Z of pyramid construction based on the true construction methods of the ancient pyramid builders. This is the Great Pyramid as you've never seen it before, constructed at a time when the climate in Egypt was very different from the climate of today. Once the reader truly understands what it took to construct this last remaining wonder of the ancient world they will find it very difficult to disagree with the astonishing claims of this author.Robert Carson is not an archaeologist or a historian his background is in engineering. He has had a lifelong fascination with ancient civilisations in general but his particular interest is in the structures that these ancient societies created. He believes that these structures hold the key to gaining a much better understanding of the people who constructed them. Having studied and researched this subject for years he finally got lucky and found the key to how these structures had been constructed in the nineties. This book, The Great Pyramid – The Inside Story – a step by step guide to how the Great Pyramid was constructed – will hopefully prove to your satisfaction that he really has solved this five thousand year old mystery.
