2 The Pyramids How were they built? For centuries, people have theorized how the great pyramids were built. Some have suggested that they must have been constructed by extraterrestrials, while others believe the Egyptians possessed a technology that has been lost through the ages. But the process of building pyramids, while complicated, was not as colossal an undertaking as many of us believe, contemporary research suggests. Estimates suggest that between 20,000 and 30,000 laborers were needed to build the Great Pyramid at Giza in less than 23 years. By comparison, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris took almost 200 years to complete.
3 The Pyramids Pharaohs traditionally began building their pyramids as soon as they took the throne. The pharaoh would first establish a committee composed of an overseer of construction, a chief engineer and an architect. The pyramids were usually placed on the western side of the Nile because the pharaoh's soul was meant to join with the sun disc during its descent before continuing with the sun in its eternal round. The two deciding factors when choosing a building site were its orientation to the western horizon where the sun set and the proximity to Memphis, the central city of ancient Egypt. The cores of the pyramids were often composed of local limestone.
4 Dolerite, a hard, black igneous rock, was used in the quarries of Aswan to remove granite. The Pyramids Finer quality limestone composed the outer layer of the pyramids, giving them a white sheen that could be seen from miles away. The capstone was usually made of granite, basalt, or another very hard stone and could be plated with gold, silver or electrum, an alloy of gold and silver, and would also be highly reflective in the bright sun. Ancient Egyptian quarrying methods -- the processes for cutting and removing stone -- are still being studied. Scholars have found evidence that copper chisels were using for quarrying sandstone and limestone, for example, but harder stones such as granite and diorite would have required stronger materials.
5 The Pyramids During excavation, massive dolerite "pounders" were used to pulverize the stone around the edge of the granite block that needed to be extracted. 60 to 70 men would pound out the stone. At the bottom, they rammed wooden pegs into slots they had cut, and filled the slots with water. The pegs would expand, splitting the stone, and the block was then slid down onto a waiting boat. Teams of oxen or manpower were used to drag the stones on a prepared slipway that was lubricated with oil.
6 At least one such ramp still exists. The Pyramids A scene from a 19th century B.C. tomb in Middle Egypt depicts "an alabaster statue 20 feet high pulled by 173 men on four ropes with a man lubricating the slipway as the pulling went on." Once the stones were at the construction site, ramps were built to get them into place on the pyramid. There is a lot of speculation that these ramps were constructed within the interior of the pyramids and then torn down after construction was completed. These ramps were made of mud brick and coated with chips of plaster to harden the surface. "If they consistently raised the ramp course by course as the teams dragged their blocks up, they could have gotten them into place fairly easily.
7 The Pyramids When answering to skepticism about how such heavy stones could have been moved without machinery, current experiments have devised for the skeptic a picture of 20 workers at an archaeological dig site pulling up a two-and-a-half ton granite block.
8 The Pharaoh The pre dynastic period of rule in Egypt was marked by strife and conflict as local chieftains lost and consolidated power until, for all intents and purposes, there existed two Egyptian kingdoms; the lower and the upper. With the rise of powerful rulers who sought to unify the two kingdoms, we enter the dynastic phase of Egyptian history. The numbering system for the pharonic dynasties was developed, or at least enshrined in writing, by a third century B.C. priest named Manetho, and by and large his work has withstood historical and archaeological scrutiny. However, there were kings who held sway, and were influential rulers, prior to the time that Manetho records, and we call these group of kings the zero dynasty. Amongst them is one shadowy king, in that we do not know much about him apart from some brief written references, who ruled Upper Egypt
9 The Pharaoh He is known as The Scorpion King from a mace head that details in pictures his assertion of authority over most of Egypt.
10 The Pharaoh Another King, Narmer, appears to have ruled over both Upper and Lower Egypt, and may be identical with the legendary king Menes, or Min, whom later Egyptians credited with this feat. The record we have of him comes from one of the oldest Egyptian artifacts ever found, a palette, most likely used to grind cosmetics for the gods in a temple
11 The Pharaoh On one side of the Narmer palette it depicts King Narmer wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt, known as the Hedjet. On the other side, he is depicted as wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt, the Deshret.
12 The beasts depicted in the second panel below represent the beasts of Upper and Lower Egypt, and their intertwining necks represent the unification of the two kingdoms under Narmer Based on the proximity of the Scorpion King mace head to the palette in their archaeological finds, some speculate that Narmer is the son of the Scorpion King It was from this time that Pharaohs began using both crowns as the ceremonial headwear symbolizing the state.
13 These early Egyptian rulers were different than the Sumerian and Babylonian kings that claimed favor with their gods only. The pharaoh WAS a god! The Pharaoh The origin of these pre dynastic unifying kings was most likely Abydos in lower Egypt, where they were also buried. However, their administrative capital would have been in Memphis, the capital of Lower Egypt, and an important center of trade for the Sinai peninsula and the Near East. Following the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the basic features of pharonic rule took shape along lines that would persist for the next 3,000 years. From a very early date, the pharaoh was identified closely with divinity. By the first and second dynasties, he was already regarded as the earthly manifestation of the falcon god, Horus.
14 The Pharaoh How these early rulers established a connection to divinity is a mystery We do know, however, that making their rule over all of Egypt legitimate was a difficult task Local civic and religious loyalties remained strong, and for centuries Lower Egyptians would continue to see themselves as distinct in some respects from their cousins to the south. Efforts to create a unified Egyptian identity began very early, however, as one can see from the Narmer palette. It seems probable that the Pharaoh s claim to divinity was one approach to solving the puzzle of political unity. However it occurred though, it was a big success!
15 The Pharaoh By the end of the Second Dynasty, the pharaoh was not just the ruler of Egypt, in a sense he was Egypt, a personification of the land, the people, and their connection to the divine. Egyptian Religion Egyptian religion centered on the cycles of life and death in much the same manner that Egyptian life centered on the cycles of the Nile As a matter of fact, a central tenet of their religion was a river that ran through all of creation which stabilized life, and represented truth, justice and order. It was called the ma at. The Pharaoh of the gods, Ra, sailed his sun boat across the ma at every day, guiding the course of the sun Of more importance, however, was the cycle of life and death depicted in the myth of Osiris
16 Egyptian Religion Osiris and his sister, who was also his wife, Isis, were fighting their brother Set for the throne of Divine Egypt after the death of Ra at Isis hands Set tricked Osiris into meeting him, where he killed Osiris and sealed him in a golden coffin. With the help of the funeral god Anubis, a jackal headed god, Isis found her husband, and brought him back to life, in order to produce an heir. Thus was born the Falcon headed god, Horus, also known as the Avenger. As a young man, Isis and Horus had to flee constantly from Set, but once Horus was grown, he took his vengeance and killed his uncle. Meanwhile Osiris re descended into the underworld and became the god of the dead, and judge of the souls of the dead. For the everyday Egyptian, this myth was symbolized in the mummification of their own dead.
17 Mummies The earliest ancient Egyptian mummies were created naturally due to the environment in which they were buried. In the era prior to 3500 BC Egyptians buried the dead in pit graves, without regard to social status. Pit graves were often shallow. This characteristic allowed for the hot, dry sand of the desert to dehydrate the bodies, leading to natural mummification. The natural preservation of the dead had a profound effect on ancient Egyptian religion. Deliberate mummification became an integral part of the rituals for the dead beginning as early as the 2nd dynasty (about 3400 BC Egyptians saw the preservation of the body after death as an important step to living well in the afterlife.
18 Mummies As Egypt gained more prosperity, burial practices became a status symbol for the wealthy as well. This cultural hierarchy lead to the creation of elaborate tombs, and more sophisticated methods of embalming. By the 4th dynasty (about 2600 BC) Egyptian embalmers began to achieve "true mummification" through a process of evisceration, (removal of the internal organs) followed by preserving the body in various minerals and oils, and the organs themselves in clay jars. Much of this early experimentation with mummification in Egypt is unknown. The few documents that directly describe the mummification process date to the Greco-Roman period.
19 Mummies The majority of the papyri that have survived only describe the ceremonial rituals involved in embalming, not the actual surgical processes involved. A text known as The Ritual of Embalming does describe some of the practical logistics of embalming, however, there are only two known copies and each is incomplete. Another text that describes the processes being used in latter periods is Herodotus' Histories. Written in Book 2 of the Histories is one of the most detailed descriptions of the Egyptian mummification process, including the mention of using natron in order to dehydrate corpses for preservation.
20 Mummies However, these descriptions are short and fairly vague, leaving scholars to infer the majority of the techniques that were used by studying mummies that have been unearthed. By utilizing current advancements in technology, scientists have been able to uncover a plethora of new information about the techniques used in mummification. A series of CT scans performed on a 2,400-year-old mummy in 2008 revealed a tool that was left inside the cranial cavity of the skull. The tool was a rod, made of an organic material, that was used to break apart the brain to allow it to drain out of the nose.
21 Mummies This discovery helped to dispel the claim within Herodotus' works that the rod had been a hook made of iron. Through various methods of study over many decades, modern Egyptologists now have an accurate understanding of how mummification was achieved in ancient Egypt. The first and most important step was to halt the process of decomposition, by removing the internal organs and washing out the body with a mix of spices and palm wine. The only organ left behind was the heart, as tradition held the heart was the seat of thought and feeling and would therefore still be needed in the afterlife. After cleansing, the body was then dried out with natron inside the empty body cavity as well as outside on the skin.
22 The mummy was then sealed within its tomb, alongside the worldly goods that were believed to help aid it in the afterlife. Mummies The internal organs were also dried and either sealed in individual jars, or wrapped to be replaced within the body. This process typically took forty days. After dehydration, the mummy was wrapped in many layers of linen cloth. Within the layers, Egyptian priests placed small amulets to guard the decedent from evil. Once the mummy was completely wrapped, it was coated in a resin in order to keep the threat of moist air away. Resin was also applied to the coffin in order to seal it.
23 Mummies To protect the mummy s tomb, priests would leave hieroglyphic incantations on the walls of the tomb cursing anyone who disturbed the mummy s rest. To back this up, they added Aspergillus niger, a fungus that when inhaled can cause black mold on the lungs and some pretty severe pulmonary diseases. It has been found in the mummies of ancient Egyptian tombs and can be inhaled when they are disturbed. Even modern Egyptologists are susceptible to this, and many perished in the early 20 th century unaware of this practice. This is where the tale of the supposed Curse of the Mummies Tomb came from
