Pyramid of Giza
The Facts about the Great Pyramid of GizaHumanities 101.01 Ancient & Medieval Worlds Upon our class visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on March 11, 2001 we started with the Egyptian exhibit. We were initially taken in one of the monument, which was completely enclosed and had carvings and paintings on its interior walls of figures in motion. The walls of the monument were approximately 15 feet high and were constructed of sandstone. The visitor's area to view this monument was very limited. We proceeded to thoroughly view the Egyptian exhibit. The exhibit primarily consisted of beautifully created sarcophaguses. The sarcophaguses included physical features of the persons who were buried in them. They had features of the persons face, torsos, and feet. They were decorated from head to toe with painted figures, colors, headdresses, precious gems and writings.

Indeed, there is much more to discover about Egyptians construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. 6 tons, giving a total mass of an estimated 6,300,000 tons. com/˜amenhotepRobert Bauval: Das Geheimnis des Orion. The pyramid is the most comprehensively surveyed in the world, but even then estimates of its size and weight vary (Stierlin, H. Whoever built the pyramid must have known the earth well: length of the year, radius of curvature, the standard measurement techniques, averages, and possibly the center of the landmass, which in itself is a mystery. The Egyptian tools used to quarry the stone have not been found. It seems that Egyptians had a better understanding of bronze metallurgy than we do now. Considering the weight of the blocks, and the distance down and across the Nile over which boats were transported, boats are a possible source of transport.
