Question

What is the secret behind the pyramds of Egypt are they mysterious anything which is indefinable?

Answer 1

I believe the mysterious part about the Pyramids is how they were built. No one can figure that out, and I highly doubt someone will.

Answer 2

monuments burial chambers for the rulers of a civilisation with a huge amount of resources/manpower and a low amount of technological know how(taking into account time they were built), hence the design.

A pyramid is the largest discernable shape possible to build en mass with the least amount of off support i.e. scaffolding, rigging, struts ect. Its just brick on brick on brick all the way up to make a pretty shape, as the construction process goes on and the pyramid gets higher the foundations get stronger and more stable to build on. Anything we may attribute whimsically, to *advanced* engineering can be put down to sheer manpower and cruelty, many people were forced to build the pyramids and many people died during their mammoth construction.

As mentioned earlier, manpower had a allot to do with the build, Monuments historically, are built as a  show of empiricism and power but they are also indicative of the social and economic climate of the time.  the construction was around a relatively peaceful time for the civilisation so there were a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands (not a good thing for the leader of any civilisation). Had there of been a *large* war (disregarding domestic strife) at the time im sure manpower and resources for the pyramids  would of been used elsewhere.

I personally would suggest that any mythical conations regarding the structure or shape came after their construction. It may not be the most exiting answer, and isn’t often one we consider but we must consider that they are just large sandstones one on top of the other in a convenient discernable shape. Nothing mythical or magical, aliens didn’t build it, they are what they are, just big tombs.

In short, built for the ego's of powerful rulers, a way  to keep the people busy and the shape is just a shape. Lets not automatically romanticize anything and everything that is old.

Answer 3

If you could answer this question it wouldn't be a secret would it?

Answer 4

The secret is that they are a star map with precise distance, brightness, and size laid out by the scheme.  The mysterious part is why they identify a specific period of time.
