Shocking discovery of the true color of the pyramid

Indeed, many sources record that pyramids were completed more than 4500 years ago. At that time, they were wrapped in a stone shell on the outside . These stones are cut with amazing precision. They create a smooth slope for the pyramid, not rough with every step as it is now.

The stone shell is made of Taru limestone with high gloss. In the sun, they will reflect the sun. Each limestone block has a length and height of about 1.5 m, 1.8 m deep. They have a mass of 15 tons and are cut from square limestone blocks weighing 40 tons. The accuracy of the cut is 1/100 inch.

The question is, where have these Taru stone blocks gone? There are many documents recorded that in 1356, blocks of stone blocks were removed to be used as materials for religious and military works. The mosque in Cairo is one of these works. The stone casing blocks are found to remain intact in the structure of the church.

Part of the remaining stone blocks are damaged by earthquakes. From there they formed ruins around the pyramids. Later, the rubble was cleared and no one could see it. However, at present in the Giza pyramid, some white stone remains are still visible.

The Giza pyramids in Egypt are one of the greatest buildings on the planet. They are so great that even scientists do not believe that humans can build them. The pyramids are formed from 2.3 million limestone blocks with a total weight of 6 million tons. The amount of mortar used is about 0.5 tons. In particular, granite slabs inside the tomb can weigh up to 70 tons. They were completely transported by human power from Aswan, 800km away.

All items of the pyramid were completed in less than 20 years. Every day, one has to complete 800 tons of stone, 200-300 stone blocks must be placed in place. This requires those involved in building pyramids to work hard. Archaeological evidence suggests that they have a lot of problems with their bones and spine.

Another interesting thing, contrary to the belief that the Egyptian pyramid was built by slaves, many archaeologists provide evidence that the pyramids were built from the labor of the people. Ancient cities were discovered with evidence that men who built pyramids had families with medical care and high nutritious meals. This cannot happen to slaves.

The tomb area with the Giza pyramid complex was once the resting place of Pharaohs. Today, with its greatness, it becomes one of the 7 wonders of the world that attracts Giza more than 3 million tourists a year.
