Pyramid of Giza and 4 mysteries that humanity still cannot decipher
As one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramid of Giza has fascinated people for millennia.
The enormous Great Pyramid, built to pharaoh cheops and completed around 2560 BC. C., it is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that is still intact.
Located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, this complex has a total of 6 pyramids, 3 towering pyramids (Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure) and 3 smaller pyramids, plus a giant statue of the Giant Sphinx which is an attractive destination for the tourists.

Several thousand years on Earth have not yet revealed all the secrets of the pyramids. Built from 2.3 million closely joined stone blocks with a total weight of 5.9 million tons. In particular, each stone block weighs between 2 and 30 tons, some even weigh 50 tons.
Until now, scientists still cannot understand by what means the ancient Egyptians transported and built such a large structure. Additionally, the Giza pyramid complex also presents geographical challenges that astronomers cannot decipher.
Located in the center of the Earth’s continent.
The Pyramid of Giza is located at the intersection of the longest meridian and the longest latitude.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is considered by many to be one of the “scientific monuments” oldest, largest and perfect on Earth, created thousands of years ago.
It is not only an architectural and engineering marvel, but also a geographical wonder because the Pyramid of Giza It is located at the intersection of the meridian and the longest line of latitude in the world .
Located directly with the belt of the Orion constellation.

Complex of three pyramids Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure.
The three pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure They form a perfect straight line on the ground. At the same time, there are also aligned with the three stars that form the constellation of Orion’s Belt. This hypothesis was first proposed by Robert Bauval in 1983.
According to computer models, the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids of Giza are compatible with Orion’s belt in the year 10,450 BC
American archaeologist and engineer Glen Dash came up with another, simpler idea. Their research suggests that the Egyptians about 4,500 years ago may have used the autumn equinox to achieve that perfect alignment.
The Autumn Equinox is considered to be the moment that appears twice a year (Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox), when the plane of the Earth’s equator passes through the center of the solar disk, and the duration of day and night are relatively short
Previously, equinox measurements were considered a dispensable alignment method, as it was thought they would not provide sufficient precision. But Glen Dash’s work has shown that there is one way using the equinoxes could work: using the gnomon, the column of the sundial.
To discover this, Glen Dash conducted his own experiment, starting on the first day of the 2016 autumn equinox, which falls on September 22, 2016, and used a gnomon to create a shadow.
The archaeologist follows the shadow point at regular intervals, forming a smooth curve that connects the points to each other. And at the end of the day, with a piece of taut rope wrapped around the pole, Glen Dash blocked two points of the curve and created an almost perfectly straight line running from east to west.
This is also known as indian circle method . See it in action in the image below:
Glen Dash notes that the level of error is similar to the small error found in the alignment of the pyramids of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure at Giza.
The trial was carried out in the US state of Connecticut, but Glen Dash said the same would work in Egypt.
In fact, all the ancient Egyptians needed to align the pyramids on a clear, sunny day, explains Glen Dash. He added that the Egyptians could calculate the autumn equinox by counting 91 days before the summer solstice.
Although research by an American archaeologist dedicated to Egyptian pyramid studies suggests that this technique could be used to align the alignment of the pyramids, we still do not have any solid evidence that the ancient Egyptians did so.
“Unfortunately, the Egyptians left us very few clues. “There are no technical documents or architectural manuscripts that give technical explanations demonstrating how the ancient Egyptians aligned any of their temples or pyramids,” Glen Dash wrote.
While we may never know what really happened, this hypothesis raises an interesting point: that something as simple as mapping shadows during the autumn equinox could be sophisticated enough to organize some of humanity’s most recognizable ancient structures.
The mystery of the three parallels
According to History.com, in the world there is an unusual “Triple Mystery” . There are three most mysterious areas in the world: the Pyramids of Giza, the “Silent Zone” ” in Mexico and the Bermuda Triangle (in the Atlantic Ocean) located on the same straight line as the Earth.
“Silent zone” It has the ability to disable all types of sound waves and telephones. The Bermuda Triangle is the mysterious disappearance of a series of ships and flying blood.
Giza is the most precise direction towards the Earth’s north pole.
This structure points toward the North Pole more precisely than any other structure in the world.
Another interesting thing is that the Giza Pyramids complex faces exactly the northernmost point on Earth. This structure points toward the North Pole more precisely than any other structure in the world.
Although it was built thousands of years ago, the pyramid only deviates from the North Pole by 0.05 degrees. The reason is that the North Pole changes over time. When it is complete, aim for this exact point.
