EGYPTIAN PYRAMID

this is my first post in my blog,,

i will write things about pyramid,,,


Firstly,i would like to talk about the history of pyramid.
The first pyramid built by EGYPTIAN was called Step Pyramid,at Saqqara for King Djoser, who was the king of 3rd dynasty .
The Golden Age of the pyramid only lasted for about 100years.
The Golden Age of the pyramid was when the great pyramid at Giza were constructed during the historical period of the Old Kingdom.
During the Middle Kingdom,some of the Pharaohs start built pyramid again.But the period of the new kingdom the tradition and history of building the pyramid monument finally ended and the Pharaohs of Egypt were then buried in the rock cut tombs in the valley of the king nears Thebes.


WHY WERE THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PYRAMID BUILT?


The history of pyramids has been lost over time.
Many Egytologist believe that they were linked to the religion and beliefs of ancient Egyptian.
The early Egyptian priests evolved a creation myth to explain how some of the Gods or Goddesses came in to being.The Sun God Ra was believed ti have risen from the primeval ocean to the first,conical-shaped,mound of masonary were a material representation of the rays of the sun and how the structure could be a means whereby the dead king could ascent to heaven.


THE PYRAMID AND THE IMPORTANT OF THE STAR


The most important group of stars to the Ancient Egyptian were called the Indestructibles .The Indestrucibles were the two bright stars that always could be seen circling to the North Pole.These stars circled an unmoveable area which the Ancient Egyptian believed was heaven.The positioning of the pyramid were of great importance as they build to align north to a single perfectly aligned vent or shaft which was built into the internal structure of the pyramids pointing  directly to the area they believed was heaven.The shaft led,at an angle,from the burial chamber from the outdside.The soul of the Pharaohs was thus able to travel from the chamber ,up to the shaft,on the path to heaven.The pyramids were therefore believed to be Ressurection vehicles - a stargate leading to heaven.


WHAT WAS INSIDE THE PYRAMID


The purpose of the pyramids was to create a monumental tomb for the Pharaohs .
Inside the pyramid were tomb chambers ,ate rooms and chambers,ventilation shafts and access tunnel.
