Abstract:

The topic of this paper is an analysis of the survey of Cheops pyramid (also known as the Great pyramid), the most significant of the three pyramids of the Giza complex, the archeological site on the plateau of Giza, situated on the periphery of Cairo. It is assumed that Cheops as well as Khafre and Menkaure pyramids were built around 2686 -- 2181 BC, known in the history as the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Our goal was to collect data about geodetic survey of Cheops pyramid and analyze it. Along with that, several hypotheses related to the construction method of the pyramid and possible purposes of

Abstract:

Within the Memphis region of Egypt, the Old Kingdom period (approximately 2686–2181 BCE) saw the construction of over 70 pyramids. The extant survey data for these pyramids, derived mainly from architectural studies, have not been substantially updated. The information from this period predominantly encompasses descriptive accounts and schematic representations, focusing on the dimensions, internal chambers, and passageways of the pyramids. Notably absent are detailed documentations that provide insights into the individual stone blocks and the intricacies of their masonry. Consequently, the c

Abstract:

The Egypt of the Pharaohs has been the subject of a huge deal of research by historians, archaeologists, and engineering specialists over the past decades. The construction of immense pyramids is largely the focus of attention insofar as it bears witness to the human genius capable of erecting monuments that have survived the millennia. The question of the logistics management involved in these majestic constructions is still little known, or at least rarely addressed. It is however undeniable that without a perfect organization of transport chains, the construction of the pyramids could not h

This study presents a comparative engineering analysis of ten monumental pyramidal structures constructed by diverse ancient civilizations across five continents. It evaluates scale, volume, base dimensions, construction materials, alignment, and logistical challenges as proxies for civil and structural engineering capacity in antiquity. The pyramids examined include the Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt), Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun (Bosnia-Herzegovina), La Danta (Guatemala), Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan (Mexico), Great Pyramid of Cholula (Mexico), Gunung Padang (Indonesia), Yangling Mausoleum

Abstract:

The pyramids of Egypt, and especially the Great Pyramid at Giza, have long been the subject of speculation. Notably from the mid-nineteenth century to today Western writers have proselytized numerous interpretations at odds with those of specialist scholars, and such alternative ideas have attracted wide if disparate followings. In surveys of Egypt written for a general audience from a traditional Egyptological framework these ideas are often ignored, or are lumped together as ‘pyramidiocy’. Here we emphasize the great diversity of models in pyramidologies and suggest two typological framework

Abstract. Charles Hutton suggested in 1821 that the pyramids of Egypt be used to site an experiment to measure the deflection of the vertical by a large mass. The suggestion arose as he had estimated the attraction of a Scottish mountain as part of Nevil Maskelyne's (1774) “Schiehallion Experiment”, a demonstration of Isaac Newton's law of gravitational attraction and the earliest reasonable quantitative estimate of Earth's mean density. I present a virtual realization of an experiment at the Giza pyramids to investigate how Hutton's concept might have emerged had it been undertaken as he sugg

Abstract:

Many constructions built by ancient civilization hold many mysteries and attract the attention of historians, archaeologists and tourists from all over the world. The most famous and enigmatical among them is the Great (Khufu’s-Cheops’) Pyramid on the Giza plateau in Egypt. The assignment, construction methods and especially the inside structure of the Pyramid have been the cause of heated debate among historians and researchers since ancient times. Unfortunately, not only researchers are interested in ancient structures and excavation sites of archaeological values, but also robbers and illeg

This thesis aims to shed light on how contemporary Egyptian culture is represented in video games. Egypt, being part of the Middle East, and given its ancient history, has become subject to many stereotypes and tropes and falling into the realm of Orientalism. This thesis builds on previous works concerning representations of the Middle East, focusing on the representation of contemporary Egypt. In light of the problematic nature of stereotypes and Orientalism towards the Othering of the minorities, I conducted a close reading of two games depicting Egypt, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 from a west

These Spanish examples are contemporary to the great Egyptian pyramids of Cheops and Kephren.But this type of construction, which is both defensive, monumental and funerary, appears in other continents and cultures; as we shall see, in China an impor
