Egypt has always attracted attention. This amazing country is full of secrets and mysteries. Its ancient history is filled with events, unique people and customs. Egypt was ruled by pharaohs long before the birth of Christ. Each of them had its own history, many left behind great buildings that amaze the imagination of even a modern person.
The secrets of ancient Egypt have been unraveled by archaeologists for hundreds of years. Something became known, but not all. Arriving in Cairo, everyone has the opportunity to see the great miracle - the Sphinx. The statue is estimated to be over 12,000 years old. Studies have shown that the material from which it is made is much older than the pyramids standing nearby. Many archaeologists agree that they erected it during the death of the famous Atlantis.
Scientists who have explored the many mysteries of Egypt, combining some of the facts, present the following version. Approximately 12.5 thousand years ago, unknown architects erected a complex of pyramids headed by a statue of a lion. After some time, the buildings were partially destroyed by a powerful stream of water. After about 8000 years, the complex was restored, and the lion statue underwent some changes. There is a version that initially she depicted an animal and only then, at the behest of Pharaoh Khafre, she acquired a human face.
The secrets of the pyramids of Egypt are perhaps the most popular themes for adventure films and TV shows. Thousands of articles and books have been written about them. However, they did not become clearer from this. Let's start with the fact that so far no one undertakes to say exactly who built them.
Today, few people believe that the great pyramids could be the fruit of the creation of ancient people who did not have the necessary knowledge and, moreover, equipment. The Egyptians of the time of the pharaohs did not have the opportunity to build such grandiose structures. Pyramids have an ideal design, clear lines of walls, corridors and interiors. Outwardly, they are copies of each other in different sizes.
Studying the secrets of Egypt, scientists discovered that the base of the pyramids is a square with a slight deviation of only two centimeters! If we take the ratio of the length of the base to the height of the pyramid and divide this value in half, we get the known number "pi", and with an accuracy of up to the sixth digit. All this speaks of the extraordinary mind of the builders and their great plan, which, unfortunately, has not yet been solved.
However, the secrets of Egypt do not end at the world-famous buildings. No less interesting are the people who lived in those distant times. ForThe ancient Egyptians were of great importance family and procreation. They weren't shy about loving and showing it in public. Each person sought to find his soul mate and give birth to children. In this regard, marriages among relatives often took place. This was especially true of the upper classes.
It was customary among pharaohs to have multiple wives and as many children as possible. At the same time, women were not humiliated. Often it was the daughters of the pharaohs who transferred power and title. The famous Egyptian beauties Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, Nefertari, Cleopatra delight us today. They were not only the wives of the pharaohs, but also incredibly smart politicians who played an important role in the life of the country.
The secrets of Egypt will excite the imagination of scientists and ordinary people for a long time to come. However, no one knows what will happen if one day we learn all the secrets of our ancestors.
