        Our Chinese tourism team's accommodation in Cairo seems to be in the Meridian Hotel near the pyramid.

        Pyramids are distributed in Egypt, America and other places, including Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt in ancient Egypt, and Sudan and Egypt today.   They vary in size, the tallest of which is the Khufu Pyramid one hundred and forty-six point five M, bottom length two hundred and thirty Meters, shared two hundred and thirty 10000 yuan, each yuan on average two point five Tons of stones, covering an area of fifty-two thousand Square meters. Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of ancient Egyptian emperors (pharaohs). One of the eight wonders of architecture in the world. Numerous and widely distributed. The pyramids in Memphis, an ancient city west of the Nile River southwest of Cairo, are the most concentrated.

      Pyramids Found in Egypt ninety-six The largest is the three pyramids in Giza, a suburb of Cairo. From about BC three thousand and five hundred Since, dozens of small slave states have emerged on both sides of the Nile. About BC three thousand In, the preliminarily unified ancient Egyptian state was established. The king of ancient Egypt, also known as Pharaoh, was the largest slave owner in ancient Egypt and had supreme power. They are seen as incarnations of God. They built a huge tomb pyramid for themselves, and the pyramid became a symbol of the power of the pharaoh. Because the shape of these huge tombs resembles the Chinese character "Jin", we call them "Pyramids". In front of the Harvard Pyramid, there is a Sphinx guarding the tombs of the pharaohs.

        Sphinx ， Except that the lion's paws are made of stones, the whole Sphinx is chiseled from a huge natural rock. It has four thousand and five hundred Years of history.

        The pyramid of Khufu is first the largest pyramid in the world, and it is the tomb of Khufu, the second king of the Fourth Dynasty, built before BC two thousand six hundred and ninety About years. stay one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight Before the Eiffel Tower was built in Paris in, it was the highest building in the world (another saying: one thousand eight hundred and eighty Cologne Cathedral completed in one hundred and fifty-seven point three Meters). Original height one hundred and forty-six point five M, the top is peeled off due to weathering ten M, current height one hundred and thirty-six point five Meter; Length of each side of the base two hundred and thirty Dom, now long two hundred and twenty M, triangle slope fifty-two Degree, tower bottom area fifty-two thousand and nine hundred square meter; The tower body is composed of two hundred and thirty It is made of ten thousand stones, and each stone weighs averagely two point five Tons, maximum weight up to one hundred and sixty Ton; Some scholars estimate that if the pyramid stone is transported by train, it will take about sixty Wanjie wagon; If these stones are chipped and paved into a one foot wide road, it can go around the earth about once. It is said that, ten Ten thousand people used it thirty It took about years to complete. The passageway inside the pyramid is open to the outside world. The design of the passageway is exquisite and the calculation is precise, which makes the world marvel.

      In addition to its amazing scale, this pyramid is also named for its high architectural skills. There is no cement or other adhesive between the stones of the tower body, but one stone is stacked on another. Each stone has been polished very flat for thousands of years. Even so, it is difficult for people to insert a sharp blade into the gap between the stones, so it is a miracle in the history of architecture to survive thousands of years.

        In ancient Egyptian, pyramids are trapezoidal and layered, so they are also called hierarchical pyramids. This is a tall pyramid building with a square base and triangles on each side. It looks like the Chinese character "Jin", so we call it "Pyramid". The tower mausoleum designed by Imhotep is the first stone mausoleum in Egyptian history. The Zosar Pyramid in Sakala is a typical representative of this kind of pyramid. It was built in BC two thousand seven hundred and fifty It was the first huge building built entirely of stone in Egyptian history.

        Egyptian pharaohs after King Zuosai followed his example and built their own tombs in a big way during their lifetime. Since then, a trend of building pyramids has been set off in ancient Egypt.

        At the earliest time, Egypt's pharaoh was prepared to use Mastaba as a permanent residence after death. Later, around the time of the Second to Third Dynasties, the ancient Egyptians had the idea that the king would become a god after death and his soul would ascend to heaven. In the later found "Pyramid Inscription", there is a saying: "For him ( Pharaoh ) Build a ladder to heaven, so that he can go up to heaven from here ". The pyramid is such a ladder. At the same time, the pyramidal pyramid form also shows the worship of the sun god, because the symbol of the ancient Egyptian sun god "La" is the sun light. The pyramid symbolizes the sun's rays piercing the blue sky.
