How was the Pyramid of Khufu built? Scientists have finally found out the truth!

As one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, the Great Pyramid of Giza) attracts millions of tourists to visit every year.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops is a classical structure, mainly built of limestone. It has 13 million stones, each weighing from 2.5 tons to 5 tons, with a base edge length of 230 meters, covering a total area of ​​13 acres. Its four sides are precisely aligned to the four directions of east, west, north, and south, with a slope of 52 degrees. The original height of the pyramid was 146.5 meters, but now it is only 137 meters, which is nine meters less because the high-grade limestone on the pyramid was stolen when it was built in Cairo. But the Great Pyramid of Cheops is still the tallest pyramid in the world .

The Pyramid of Cheops is a classical structure, built of limestone.

It is difficult to imagine how such a huge pyramid was built. Many scientists, archaeologists, and history buffs will try their best to explain it, which is the subject of debate and research on the Pyramid of Khufu. There have been many different theories over the centuries, and some even suggested that aliens may have been involved in the process. Until recently , scientists finally found out the truth about the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu .

History says that the ancient Egyptians transported huge blocks of limestone and granite here, but it is not explained how they moved the stones. This has been a mystery for centuries, but now it has been solved, which will tell us how the Egyptians were able to transport 2.5 ton blocks of limestone and granite 500 miles away.

It turned out that such a huge stone, relying on human strength was not enough . When transporting, they first had to change the terrain, redirect the Nile River to the site where the pyramids were built, build artificial canals, and then they began to transport the limestone by water . Workers pulled boats from the quarry to the construction site, a process that took about three days. Archaeologists have found evidence below the site, with traces of a canal running through it, and a boat pit around the Khufu Pyramid.

The Pyramid of Cheops is the only eight-sided pyramid in Egypt.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops was the tallest structure ever built by man for over 3,000 years, made from 2.3 million blocks of stone so precise that not a single human hair can penetrate the adjacent blocks. The impressive reconstruction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu is covered in highly polished limestone that has been carefully cut to achieve the golden ratio . The highly polished limestone reflects the sunlight and makes it sparkle like stars. The light is so intense that it can even be seen from the Moon. Sadly, the limestone on the surface no longer exists due to the impact of an earthquake.

The Pyramid of Cheops is also unique in that it has internal passages that go up and down . It is the only eight-sided pyramid in Egypt , and it actually has eight sides because it has an inverted depression at the base and it aligns with the stars in the constellation Orion. The Pyramid of Cheops is also located right at the center of our planet.

To this day, it is still difficult to believe that ancient people could have built such a classical structure.
