Extensive study by Dr. Nabil Farouk on the subject (The Curse of the Pharaohs)
Curse of the Pharaohs .. Fact or Fiction?
The obsession with the acquisition of Ancient Egyptian monuments ..
Through purchase or theft, followed by a lot of stories about evil
spirits and bad luck and superstition .. And all were fertile material
to the imagination of novelists and filmmakers.
The first incident linked to the curse of the Pharaohs was in 1699 when
he bought a antique dealers Europeans two of the mummies of Egypt and
brought with him in a ship to Europe and the Mediterranean Sea storm in
the sea flooded the ship and most of the surface on the merchant that
the cause of the ordeal suffered by the ship is Moumiaotan Almbartan
which Astdata lives of volatile ship.
This story was from the imagination of the French writer, "Lewis Bnxie"
is a fictional story about the oldest Egyptian mummies. As of 1856
rolled stories that made heroes Egyptian mummies and discussions about
curses and vague.
Among the most famous stories unrealistic attempt to justify the sinking
of the famous ship Titanic in 1921 the existence of an Egyptian mummy
on the surface at the time of drowning, the same as the mummy in the
British Museum under the number 22,542, but that the Canadians confirmed
the validity of this myth. It is strange that the mummy's landing is
not a body or mummy, but is a cover wooden colored it exists on the
coffin of the priestess of Luxor is known for its name-century atheist
century BC, and some Britons are afraid of touching the cover or
approach him for fear of the curse and bad luck.
Do not open the coffin .. Will disturb the sacrifice of the King
Today was a summer day sweltering in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor,
the Egyptian workers who transfer the sand and its dimensions in an
arduous journey to search for the tomb of one of the Kings, and despite
that the search for the tomb of alleged she had approached the five
years, but that sure prospector Harwood Carter was a constant and
unwavering presence, and day after day, there were some small things
that are discovered during archaeological excavations in the hope given
access to the actual cemetery.
On this day, found a British expert during the drilling of a small
statue in the form of a scarab, draws the men around him did not find
anyone looking forward to him LVDS scarab in his clothes, and is itself a
right to get some money from selling it.
After several days the man was sitting in a bar in Alexandria and is
stretched to the maximum degree in gambling in front of a foreign
sailors, who works between the ports of Egypt and Britain, and when he
lost the England all his money he did not want to do a loser he turned
to the sea, saying to play another role on the this and gave him the
scarab Pharaonic, did not appreciate the sea this masterpiece the
appropriate valuation and with it play with England role finally ended
access to the scarab after several months, reached the sea to his home
in southern Africa and Central gifts brought by the giving the statue
pharaonic to his daughter's favorite of his, and within days a few men
completely disappeared and his family search for a long time until they
found him dead on a beach, of course, one could not be linked to the
mysterious death of the sea and the scarab Pharaonic
After several more months, hit by the youngest son, which did not exceed
the first and twenty years of age suddenly diagnosed with leukemia, and
it was not long until she died affected by the disease, and in an
attempt to get rid of painful memories associated with the daughter
deceased the mother donated the scarab to its neighbor, the English Lady
" Iedelrz "which was loves collecting antiques and antiquities.
Once you move the statue pharaonic to the home of neighbor began
calamities, following them frequently, and perhaps most notably wounding
her daughter diagnosed with leukemia and died in circumstances Mchabhap
what happened to the daughter of her friend, especially that the son
did not exceed the first and twenty, and in these circumstances of the
tragic news was the curse of the pharaohs, which were associated the
discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb are frequent in every place and hired
Ms. expert Egyptians to examine the statue and stressed her allegiance
to the tomb of Tutankhamun, the young king, who died in mysterious
circumstances and is at the age of about 20 years! And expert stressed
that the effects of the statuette, a deadly curse will continue to haunt
both owned forever to get back and settle in his native country.
Returned Mrs. Mufzuap everything that was said on this subject, and to
surprise the severe learned that the door to the cemetery carrying a
sharp says "Do not open the coffin will be slaughtered death two wings,
anyone who dares to disturb the King" was also informed Ms. painful
fate, who chased all who participated in the violation of this cemetery
and launched the story of the curse of the Pharaohs the beginning of the
project funder Lord "Carnarvon", which had developed a fever vague
after opening of the cemetery shortly not Tmhlh to be killed and then
began mysterious fever and death rapidly infect many of those who
approached the tomb and Anthkoha the beginning of the secretary,
"Carnarvon", which and died during his funeral to run over the horse
which carries the coffin a little boy, killing him and wounding some of
those who participated in one way or another to open the tomb of
insanity and some of them committed suicide.
But that the world is the Egyptian Dr. "Izz al-Din Taha," which
presented a vision of accurate scientific so-called curse of the
Pharaohs and re-interpretation of accidents all in view of the fungi and
toxins, which may publish the Pharaohs in their tombs, as well as for
bacteria, which has been active over the skin of the mummy of decaying
and other scientific reasons to explain the deaths Algams, and ended the
man to say categorically that there is no so-called curse of the
Pharaohs, and it is possible that the story ends at this point but that
men, after delivering his lecture, hit by a car is speeding and crossing
the road to his death on the spot!
Ms. English-hit scarab Tutankhamun curse she and her family when it was
confirmed that the statuette behind these problems immediately sent a
letter appeal the Egyptian government to recover the statue and return
it to its place in the tomb of boy king, at the curse stopped and
reversed her and the family ! Of course we did not know the Egyptian
government's response to this request
Giza pyramids
In the fourth dynasty, three large stone pyramids were built at Giza.
The design of these pyramids was based on the pyramids that had been
built before. These are the largest and sturdiest pyramids that were
ever built in ancient Egypt.
The first and largest pyramid was built for the pharaoh Khufu (also known as Cheops).
The second largest pyramid was built for Khufu's son, Khafra (also known
as Chephren). In addition to the usual parts of a pyramid complex,
Khafra's pyramid is guarded by a huge sphinx.
Finally, the third largest pyramid was built for the pharaoh Menkaure (also known as Mycerinus).
The ancient Egyptians continued to build pyramids for their pharaohs
after the Giza pyramids were built. However they were never as big or
well-designed as the Giza pyramids.
The Great Sphinx is a large human-headed lion that was carved from a
mound of natural rock. It is located in Giza where it guards the front
of Khafra's pyramid.
And below I'll show you some aspects of the miracle of the pyramid to
absorb and to understand the extent of more miracles in building the
pyramid:
First: Description of the Great Pyramid:
@ 147 m height.
@ Base side length of 228 m square.
@ That is, it occupies an area of 13 acres.
@ And size of the total 2.5 million cubic meters.
@ Stone The number of 23 million stone.
@ Average weight of each stone from 2.5 to 8 million tons, some of the stones weigh up to 50 tons.
@ An estimated total weight of the pyramid, with 6 million tons.
@ And has been covered with limestone and white Ksute but still quite far, and became the current height of 137 meters.
@ So far not detected for the Great Pyramid of all its regions, the
temples are still attached to it - which was attached to each other
pyramids - buried under the sand.
@ Burial chamber of King Khufu's pyramid, the largest with a length of
10.4 meters by 5.2 meters and a height of 5.8 meters. The ceiling of the
room is a single piece of pure granite weighing 50 tons.
Second: How the pharaohs built the pyramid? :
In an article by Dr.. Osama Saawi - and is one of the researchers who
put the theories on the construction of the pyramid - explaining his own
theory on how to build the pyramid and talk about the other theories,
and explains the difficulties he faced in publishing his theory of
public opinion ... but I I will present a summary bakacad on how to
build the pyramid, Then I put the article, Dr. Osama ...
[1] design and preparation stage:
Must be and that the Pharaohs were very advanced in the arts of
architecture and of course they were either vastly more in this science,
some researchers have thought in the possibility of building the
pyramid of Cheops Kahrm potential of our current and found it would cost
$ 7.5 million, and will be very difficult to build the pyramid of the
same accuracy Cheops and the same set inclination angle of the walls 52
degrees exactly, and if the construction of the pyramid, it will not
withstand even 1000 years, not only in 4600, such as the pyramid of
Cheops ..!!
Prior to the establishment of any building to be design and painting
first and then study how the residence through a soil test, and a series
of complex calculations to measure and the strong pressure on the walls
and the rules of the building.
After remission of the Pharaohs to mobilize a sufficient number of
workers to build the pyramid, how many workers they need? And how an
engineer? And who will give them food and drink? , And it is known that
the pharaohs were employed in year 3 months only feel the flood that can
not exercise their agriculture, and has said priests to Herodotus the
Greek historian when he visited Egypt after the construction of the
pyramid two thousand years, that the building of the pyramid took twenty
years, which means that the actual duration for building the pyramid is
60 months, which just five years, and had estimated a mathematicians
duration of the pyramid's construction labor 640 years ..!!
Then also question the skill of these workers and the heads of workers
and engineers who put the stone in place very carefully to fully adhere
to the previous stone and without a single error!!
[2] on how to prepare and bring Stones:
(1) cutting Stones: It is noted that the stones used in building the
pyramid were cut very carefully to be completely smooth stones to ensure
adhesion to each other without the presence of air spaces between them
affect the strength of adhesive and without the need to use other
substances to paste stones to each other .... What was the pharaohs cut
these stones from the quarries in this high resolution? Did they use the
example of ultrasound? Or even a laser beam? Or may have uncovered
another way for them do not know everything?
(2) the source of stones: There are several theories in this regard:
One: that the stones were brought from Aswan, the second: that the
stones were brought from quarries Tora on the eastern side of the River
Nile, the third: that the stones were dropped from the Giza plateau
itself, the fourth: that the pyramid was built, through pieces of
natural rock, but rather stones casting manufacture builders Egyptians
of gravel mixed with lime, and that these stones cast much stronger than
the concrete that we know now, and that the bottom of the pyramid is
the nucleus of a rocky natural carved to take the desired shape and then
the establishment of the rest of the pyramid, ie, that there were
Almntgaha in this range of hills Khufu chose to take his oldest Bnanh be
the base for the pyramid.
In fact, look for first and second theories are far from ratifying where
scholars are unanimously agreed on the difficulty of these stones to be
transported long distances, especially that the weight of each one of
several tons, and especially if this will be carried by body of water
such as the Nile ...
While the third theory looks is closest to the similarity of rock
material with the original material of the stones on the Giza plateau,
but this is inconsistent with the fact that the roof of the burial
chamber of Dkrp of pure granite and weighs 50 tons, and granite exists
only in the Torah and in Aswan!!
And fourth Trihna theory of thinking in the means of cutting stones and
their means of delivery, but could not prove one so far, and remain just
theories!!
(3) how to move the stones and put in place: There are a lot of theories I will present briefly:
First: that they built by the Pharaohs of the sand next to the pyramid
increasingly higher the greater the height of the pyramid and pulls up
the rocks above the road with ropes and wood sliding over a break above
the rocks ..
Second: rolling rocks on a set of slides beneath the trunks of trees,
and then lift the rocks to place using a complex system of pulleys.
Third: Through the paper airplanes!!! And that one of the scientists
noted, hieroglyphic writings show a row of men standing in a strange
position and holding the lead rope by a specific type of mechanical
system to a giant bird in the sky .. And turned out to be a giant kite
is used to lift heavy blocks .. So I went in the experience of having
disturbed her curiosity to look at how realistic this possibility, I
tried with some friends to raise a piece of wood length of 25 meters and
the mass of concrete weighs about 150 kg by kite ordinary bought from a
shop has succeeded in doing so, and successive tests thereafter, and
was able to raise the obelisk weighs 35 tons Bastkhaddan a giant kite
and a set of pulleys, and adopt the idea that to rely on the momentum of
the wind to carry rocks and facilitate the transfer!!
Fourth: by hydraulic jacks! The theory of b d. Saadawi and Osama will be presented in detail in the following participants.
Fifth: that the Pharaohs had a science very advanced do not know
anything about it and that they had heavy equipment and other tools
enabled them to do so, and given to a novels Herodotus that the priests
used to carry minerals from the earth by reference, we find that the
pharaohs may have reached to cancel the gravity and used that in lifting
the stones ..!! , And I can imagine a group of priests stand and point
out their batons and rocks come out only from the Giza Plateau to settle
each one in its place!!! , But if it were that easy as taking their 20
years in the construction ...!!
Sixth: that the Pharaohs were not the builders of the pyramids and it
was built by aliens, or that a civilization such as the civilization of
Atlantis, for example, and the authors of these theories a set of
directories such as inscriptions Pharaonic in different places of the
world, a pattern represents the Pyramids of Giza from the air is one of
the temples of ancient India and there is a relationship between
civilization and the Pharaohs civilization of Mexico that this link may
be the sunken continent of Atlantis .... To the end of this speech of
others documented and who did not find in any of the books that talk
about a picture caption or clear title to the places of these
directories, which they reported, may occur Anis Mansour in some detail
about these things in books, who landed from the sky, and who returned
to the sky .... And my personal feeling that the purpose of the authors
of those theories is a steal completion of the pyramids of the pharaohs.
Given all of these theories are that the issue of building the pyramids
mysterious and complex to the greatest extent, all theories seem
difficult to ratification, for the theory of the initial whole most
scientists that the creation of a curved sandy like this is a miracle of
engineering the biggest miracle of the pyramid, and that it would
require effort a huge residence, and the largest effort to remove it.
And for the trunks of trees that were rolled under the rock .. Where do
they come with all these quantities from the trunks of trees do not
exist in Egypt jungle wa unit?! , And for the theory of the second has
already proven that the pharaohs were aware of pulleys, but this will
require the efforts of muscle is great, third theory may seem persuasive
to a great extent, especially the existence of the fee Alholgriffi, the
theory of the Fifth not good at all, but if I had the Pharaohs All of
these advanced science Why extinct? , And if they have the sophisticated
equipment why is there not any consequences for her? , Possibly extinct
sciences developed because the priests were in total isolation from the
people and that science was limited only to them .... In fact one could
not answer any of these questions so far
Spread between Giza and even Nubia and almost as it is known that the
pyramids were the graves of some of the pharaohs of Egypt, but why they
chose the pyramid specifically for the construction of tombs and how
they developed the idea of building the pyramid and other questions
which need our introduction to clarify these questions.
Being the River Nile in Egypt as it is known from south to north and
divides Egypt into eastern and western halves, and the ancient Egyptians
had lived on the banks of the River Nile and began to establish their
civilization on the side and begins the history of Egypt from 3200 BC
and is the beginning of a knowledge writing to the Egyptians, either
before that is called the prehistoric and since early times I think the
ancient Egyptian in the idea of resurrection after death and life again
in another world and came this idea of observation of nature and what is
repeated, such as the sun and the flooding of the Nile which is
repeated every year at the same time and culture, which grows again
after harvest. And I think the ancient Egyptian life is that the Middle
West, while generating means death, as the sun each day from the Middle
and die in the West, from this point, we find that all the pyramids of
Egypt as tombs and even the tombs of the ancient Egyptians all located
west of the Nile with the sole exception of approx.
Since the outset, was the burial is in a hole oval shape with a few pots
simple inside with the deceased for use in the other world, and if the
deceased is buried in the fetal position in the mother's abdomen in
order to facilitate the process of birth again, and the face is a vector
of the East, and with the passage of time began to widen the hole and
that evolved to become a room or two rooms with increased tools
developed inside the brick walls and building development and increased
thereafter to reach the brick building above-ground rooms and the top of
this is what is called Palmsdoba.
The form of a terrace of two degrees
And with the beginning of the Third Dynasty 2780-2680 BC. M appeared
Pyramid for the first time of King Djoser at Saqqara, and thanks to the
construction of the engineer genius Imhotep, and the meaning of his name
(the next in peace), and received by Imhotep, the tribute he wrote King
Djoser his name on the base of his statue Royal, who is currently in
the Egyptian Museum in a precedent has not been repeated in ancient
Egyptian history to write the name of the ordinary person on the statue
of the king.
This was the first time you use the stones in the construction, and is
worth mentioning that the pyramid, which is the burial place of the king
is associated with a group of architectural elements and the other
representing a funeral for the deceased king.
A general view shows a total of King Djoser Ganasais and the Step Pyramid.
As for the idea of the pyramid in particular has been associated with
pyramidal shape with his idea of the emergence of the universe and
thought as well, according to some writings and texts religious that the
pyramid is a means to help the spirit of the deceased in the access to
heaven with the god Ra. And you can sometimes see sunlight between
clouds, is take the form of pyramid too, and was also among the many
ways that can help them to ascend to heaven. See also Figure pyramid top
obelisks and some of the graves of small mines in southern Egypt, even
when he thought the kings of the modern state of building cemeteries on
the mainland west in the Valley of the Kings and clicked on the soles of
the mountain to protect it from theft did not give up the pyramid,
which was the representative at the top of the mountain the same and
normal.
Landscape illustrates the form of rays of the sun between the clouds
Pyramid of Saqqara
Called the Saqqara region attributed to the Soccer Idol cowardly god
when the ancient Egyptians. Imhotep, and has begun in this area build a
cemetery Almellk Djoser in the form of a bench and wanted to have the
luxury that distinguishes it from other stones and granite used in the
construction of the burial chamber, which extends to a depth of 28
meters below the surface of the ground beneath the bench and then edit
the design and Bmsdoba rose above the other and a third until he arrived
at six degrees and a height of 60 meters along the base of the pyramid
is about 130 meters were all from the outside coated with limestone
white, and had been found inside the catacombs and corridors of the
pyramid on the more than 40 thousand of pottery and alabaster and
schist, and others, The ABG Ganasais of King include the addition to the
Step Pyramid is also home to the North and another for the south, as
the king of Egypt is the king of the north and south together and also
include a temple to make offerings for the deceased king and the temple
of the funereal rituals and burial, and there is also room next to the
pyramid called the basement room by a statue of King Djoser, this statue
is a testament to the spirit until you identify the body again.
And with the beginning of the Fourth Dynasty in 2680 BC, began attempts
to build a pyramid full in the area Dahshur near Saqqara in the reign of
King Senefru but there was an error in the estimation of the angle of
construction came obtuse slightly 54 degrees and at a height of 48
meters almost started some of the walls of the pyramid's internal
cracking Vqll Engineer Building angle to 43 degrees and reached full
height to 101 meters, and appeared in as in the picture and now renamed
the pyramid Refractor or twisted.
And the second is the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur is also the first true
pyramid was built in Msriz angle of 43 degrees and almost 99 meters
high, and clothing was white limestone pyramids.
Pyramids of Giza
The Great Pyramid
One of the seven wonders of the world and occupies an area of 13 acres
and the original height of 146 meters and is currently almost 137 m and
along the rib base 230 meters.
