Abstract:
Egyptian culture of the old kingdom was locally and regionally simple and efficient; belief was in the sky and humanism was regulated by Ma’at as the key concept in Egyptian mentality. IUNU was the capital of the black land KEMET where ”IUNU UNIVERSITY” is located. Physics were well studied; was already known; the right angle triangle of members 3, 4, and 5 with the 53o angle was in use. Supremacy was integrated on earth by multiple interpretations in architecture. The great pyramid of Giza was and still the best magnificent structure ever built on earth without having contemporary science’s final word been said. Massive lime stone blocks are now arranged there in a huge massive number of about two and half million pieces; their weight could reach 6.5 million tons. Conceptually there was a strong belief that symbolism connects hot spots on the Egyptian soil as it represented the known world, as well as the main stars were connected in multiple constellations on the dome of the observed sky. Pyramids of Giza plateau, Saqqara plateau, and Abusir plateau were all examples of that concept. Other pyramids of Iunu era were also related to the same concept. Structurally the Giza axis coincided on the Giza plateau. Giza plateau was a part of the Moqattam plateau during the Eocene formation. Pyramids on the worked out surface of the plateau were built with the local lime stone. Pyramids’ blocks were extracted, shaped and transported to its definite place within the precinct of the plateau. Chiseled pieces of stone - as waste from shaping blocks - were thrown out on the northern edge of the plateau. Constructional perception of what and why the Khufu pyramid took that shape shows some facts; two hundred courses composed the total existed mass where each group of courses composed a layer. Each layer started with thicker course and ended in thinner ones. Higher layers got lesser courses. So far, one should start thinking now why there were layers; why thicker and thinner courses existed. In the mean time as mortar was not in use by that time, pyramids –as in Saqqara- were formed in inclined walls, as shown in the adjacent photo. In addition, inclined walls must have formed the whole structure of Khufu pyramid.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Great Pyramid of Cholula is both the largest and oldest continuously occupied building in Mesoamerica. Initial occupation of the ceremonial precinct began in the Late Formative period, and the first building stage of the pyramid dates to the Terminal Formative. The Great Pyramid was built in four major construction stages and at least nine minor modifications. Early stages shared stylistic similarities with Teotihuacan, but toward the end of its construction history external contacts shifted to the Gulf Coast, particularly El Tajin, and probably relate to occupation by ethnic Olmeca-Xicallanca. The fourth and final stage was contemporary with extensive construction on the south side at the Patio of the Altars, and dates to the Early Postclassic period. This period ended, however, with the partial abandonment of the pyramid when ethnic Tolteca-Chichimeca constructed a ceremonial center around their “new” Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl. The Great Pyramid continued as an important shrine dedicated to mountain worship and a rain deity until the Spanish Conquest. It remains one of the most important religious sites in Mexico, where the shrine of the Virgin of the Remedies attracts pilgrims to the church atop the pyramid mound during the annual festival. This paper summarizes the archaeological and ethnohistorical information available to reinterpret the construction history and ideological content of the pyramid throughout its long existence.

Abstract:
<p>The importance of the Keops pyramid in terms of size and mass, has led to the proposal of three theories as to its modes of construction. The first theory argues that elephants and soldiers were employed for this work, which suggests considerable application of muscle power. The second states that the quarried stone blocks were transported to the pyramid construction site using elephants on a weight-bearing mechanism. The third suggests that stone blocks carried to the pyramid, were first uplifted with brute force, following which they were carried to the top, using the principle of buoyancy of water, through a system of graded pools. Theories suggested for the construction of this pyramid, can be applied to that of other pyramids. This paper analyses the construction of pyramids in terms of issues related to the quarry, stages of transport of stones from the quarry to the pyramid site and the final construction stage. Based on the theories explained in this study, the time period for the construction of the pyramid will be calculated, using expected values derived from the four different pool systems.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Boyut ve kütle değerleriyle Keops Piramidi ön plana çıktığından, büyük piramitlerin inşası, bu piramit için geliştirilen üç teoriyle açıklanacaktır. Bu teorilerden birincisi, piramit inşasında kas gücünü zorlayan işlerde fil ve askerler çalıştırılabilir. İkincisi, ocaktan kesilen taş bloklar, ağırlık aktarmalı düzenekte filler kullanılarak, piramide taşınabilir. Sonuncusu, piramide taşınarak getirilen taş bloklar, kas gücünün üst sınırları zorlandığı noktaya kadar çıkarılıp, sonrasında basamaklı havuzlarda sıvının kaldırma kuvvetinden yararlanılarak üst noktaya kadar taşınıp piramit inşa edilmiş olabilir. Bu piramidin inşası için geliştirilen teoriler diğer piramitlerin inşası içinde kullanılabilir. Piramitlerin inşası; taş blokların alındığı ocak, taş blokları ocaktan piramide taşıma ve piramidin inşaat aşaması olarak üçe ayırıp, iki aşaması incelenecektir. Bu çalışmada ocak aşaması incelenmeyecektir. Burada verilecek teoriler için dört farklı havuz sistemine olası değerler verilerek piramidin inşaat süresi hesaplanacaktır.</p>

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 the construction itself are described. When analyzing the survey, two numbers, also called ``two treasures of geometry'', are constantly appearing, these are the number Pi ($\pi$) and the Golden ratio or golden number Fi ($\varphi$). One of the chapters is dedicated to these numbers.

Abstract:
Inverted pyramid-texturing of silicon surface has been proven to have great application potential in silicon solar cells. In this paper, we utilized Ag-assisted chemical etching (Ag–ACE) technology combing with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to fabricate an inverted pyramid textured Si surface. We call it Ag@PVP–ACE. The effect of different experimental parameters on etching results was observed. We show that the microstructure of the Si surface exhibited two states as the concentration of NH4HF2 and PVP concentration changed: polishing and inverted pyramid texturing. Meanwhile, we found inverted pyramids easier to form at the high temperature and low H2O2 concentration of the etching system. Consequently, compared to inverted pyramid structures fabricated by nanostructure rebuilding (NSR) technology and Ag@PVP–ACE, we consider that Ag@PVP–ACE technology could become a viable strategy for fabricating inverted pyramid textured Si wafers in Si solar cells production.

Abstract:
The Egypt of the pharaohs preserves the greatest and best-known examples of this architectural form charged with symbolism. There are numerous examples not only in Europe, and as we shall see, several on the Mediterranean coast and specially in the Spanish seaside, built by peoples and civilisations with solid and well-organised social structures. 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 important population has been discovered, settled in a large pyramid, staggered on platforms, in which different social classes were organised; furthermore, the defensive, constructive and protective character inherent to the pyramidal shape and geometry is analysed. The symbolic and functional character of the pyramid as an architectural form extends and endures over time, and is present throughout the centuries in the most recent fortifications, pantheons and funerary monuments, until reaching the 20th and 21st centuries, in which its possible conservation and/or disappearance, paradoxically, is sometimes function of an ideological perspective, that should be disassociated and left to one side, leading to conclusions that are analysed and developed in this paper.
