Watch the Pyramid guard machine to see how smart the ancient Egyptians were

Ancient Egyptian engineers put a lot of effort into designing the security systems for the Pharaoh's tomb.

In order to protect the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs, only the spell and the ancient curse are not enough, the ancient designers also put in dozens of traps.

Egyptian archaeologists have recreated one of the ancient machines used as traps in the Giza Pyramid with digital technology. These traps to prevent grave thieves want to steal the treasures and treasures buried with Pharaoh, or simply vandals who hate Pharaoh don't want him to rest.

These " security systems " have been studied since the beginning of the 19th century, but this is the first time archaeologists have used computers to replicate this trap model, to correctly represent the activity of them.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, the only wonder of the seven wonders of the ancient world still stands, is the tomb that buried Pharaoh Khufu , who ruled Egypt during the dynasty that lasted from 2551 BC to 2528. B.C. Inside the pyramid is a Pharaoh's tomb, a private room for the queen and an underground room.

Currently, three large rooms have been discovered in the Giza Pyramid - the ground floor is located on a stone foundation, supporting the entire large structure of the entire pyramid, the two above rooms are called the King and Queen Room. . Reaching from the north and south walls of the Queen Room are two 20cm high and high tunnels, blocked by stone doors. Nobody knows who this tunnel has, but there are some theories that the two tunnels lead to a secret room.

American archaeologist Mark Lehner, who discovered the mystery at this great tomb for 30 years, said that the ancient Egyptians were willing to put a lot of effort into stopping grave digers from plundering and destroying.

One of the most complex security systems, the " ancient machine" , holds the giant stone in the wall of the pyramid, until the corpse of King Khufu is laid down to rest.

Basically, on the inside of the pyramid, large boulders are held at the ceiling of the pharaoh Khufu's tomb, guided by grooves carved inside the wall. When pharaoh Khufu is officially put down, these large stones will fall, blocking all the tunnels leading to the tomb area.

This simple but complex system constitutes a class that protects the tomb from those who look outside, but it seems that the security system is not very effective, because Lehner thinks that around the middle of 2528 Before BC and the year 2134 BC, the entire tomb of the pharaoh Khufu was visited by grave digers.

The stones will slide along the long slope down, stopping the access road.

However, archaeologists think that understanding the pyramid's security system will lead them to hidden secret rooms for thousands of years. In fact, some researchers think that the real tomb of pharaoh Khufu is still deep inside the pyramid, all the outer rooms are just a trick of ancient architects.

Pharaoh Khufu is not the only Pharaoh who can have secret tunnels in his pyramid. In March, scientists studying Tutankhamun's tomb found evidence that behind the wall of King Tut's body. Further research on that secret room is still underway.
