And not just the Egyptian ones. The Pyramids are scattered around the Earth in various points, and the famous pyramids of Egypt and the Incan structures are probably the most famous. But as it turns out, there are a lot of things that these structures tell us that are pretty suspicious, and frankly terrifying.
12. Piramids - 3 - clapway
There have been pyramids found in Incan and Mayan cultures, in Sudan, China, Bosnia, Indonesia and Cambodia, and here are eight bizarre mysteries that surround them.
1. The Great Pyramid Actually Has Eight Sides
In 1940, a British aviator happened upon a strange sight: the Great Pyramid of Egypt looked to be concave at the sides, making for a total of eight equal sides. After some investigation, it was revealed

Incan, Mayan and Egyptian Symmetrical Insanity
It's widely known that one of the main characteristics of Egyptian art, construction and culture is the persistent appearance of symmetry. Everything is exactly symmetrical on both sides, and this does not exclude the construction of pyramids. In fact, the Great Pyramid is located at the exact center of the Earth, and it points True North more accurately than any other structure ever built before or since then. What was the significance of this? What kind of energy were they trying to channel, what knowledge was behind this?
3. Pyramid Telepathy
This one's probably been bugging you for a while. How on Earth did the Mayans, Inca, Cambodians, Chinese, Indonesian, Egyptians and Illyrians manage to make similar structures at the same time on their respective locations? Is there really such a thing as a Hive Mind? Are we all connected? These are the real questions.
4. Giant Tombs with No Corpses
The Egyptian Pyramids, for one, were initially built as tombs for the Pharaohs... but no bodies have ever been found in the ones explored, so what really was the purpose of building these things? And why are there so many with empty spaces fit to fit tombs but containing no burial items or
In Document C it states, “The series of modest nine-foot-deep shafts held a dozen skeletons of pyramid builders,” then later the document states that they would never bury slaves that honorably. Later Document E contradicts, “One is that no one bothers to tell us in the broadcast sources how many tombs specifically belonging to workers have been found and what proportion of the workforce they might represent.” This shows that researchers are not lying that they found tombs yet they are not stating all the
As for the Great Pyramids, their purpose was to serve as tombs for pharaohs and their consorts. The pyramids are massive in size and were made to last forever, which can be seen to this day as they are still standing. The formal elements of the pyramids include their massive size, geometric shapes, and precise construction. The pyramids are not naturalistic but are stylized in the Ancient Egyptian tradition. The style of the pyramids is Ancient Egyptian, which is characterized by its use of stylized form, flat figures, and symbolic
To find North, they had to use the sky. To study the sky, they had to make a 365-day calendar. They also had to measure angles of the pyramid walls. To do this, they invented a number system based on the number 10. So this is what they did to make
Representation of the early Maya lords are very round and irregular forms. The famous Mayan Calender drove the pyramid constructions, paying attention to generations on 4 points of the cross. They did not have a grid system because there were too many trees in the dense jungle. The city’s ruler would construct a twin pyramid complex at the end of every 20 year period. In addition, there were 6 “temple” pyramids to mark the burial place of a ruler.
Starting in 6000 B.C many people make up the community and they use the Nile as their center of their territory. The land around the Nile was rich and great for farming. The first civilization was made on the Nile, as it was a great place for farming. The Nile experienced flooding every year bringing water and rich soil and allowed for people to settle. All winter long the people watered their crops using an irrigation sytem.
The Mayans worshiped many gods and goddesses’. Each of the gods influenced the Mayans life in a lot of ways. Each city-state had a center for the pyramids and other structures for the performance of religious ceremonies and government activities (Prentice 448). Rulers directed the commoners to build major settlements. They had built pyramid shaped mounds of dirt topped with altars, or temples which were built in the center of the settlement that they had built.
Besides the Sun Pyramided and Moon Pyramid there are other sacred locations of great importance to the Aztec. They are powerful places that can also act in simulation as a
In ancient egypt pharaohs ruled over places that they commanded. They were able to do this since they believed they were living gods, but with a human body. So they were able to command people. And as they reigned their city, they came up with the idea to build massive stone piles for them when they died, but they were not ordinary piles of rocks, no, they wanted limestone blocks to be placed in a pyramid shape with their possessions and themselves inside of the pyramid. They also had “traps” built into the pyramid itself, in the great pyramid 3 massive stone doors sat in front of the tomb, as well as fake tombs with nothing in them, and even before entering the whole pyramid looked like a solid structure with no entrance.
(ngm.nationalgeographic.com) If slaves built the pyramid, then why were they buried so close to the pyramids with supplies for the afterlife, why did they consider themselves friends of Khufu, and why were they treated so
When one thinks of pyramids, the dramatic stone structures standing regally over the desert sands of Giza, Egypt come to mind. The proud tributes to past pharaohs have captivated explorers for centuries and continue to attract tourists today. They are not, however, the only pyramids that have caught the attention of the public; in Central America lay the Mayan pyramids, step-pyramids built by a Mesoamerican civilization formed around 1500 BC. While both the pyramids of Egypt and the Mayan pyramids are similar in general structure, they are vastly different buildings with blatant cultural differences that are particularly evident in the physical appearance, purpose, construction, and the methods of construction used to build them. Both the
It shows the complex use of triangles, rhombus, and rectangles. Also shows that the Sioux people were able to do geometrical translation, reflection, and rotation of objects. Moreover, tribes in North America used geometry to develop great structures, for example, there is one structure that represents a truncated pyramid Georgia made by the Etowah tribe; it is about 65 feet tall and provides an impressive view of the Etowah River, and just the top of the pyramid covers one acre of land. Another pyramid located in St. Louis, made by the Cahokia tribe rises 100 feet above the surrounding landscape, and it is believed to be the largest pyramid in the North of Mexico. The pyramid shows that the ancient American were already familiar with angular measurements and the construction of rhombuses.
The colossal structures, stacked stories high, still dumbfound historians today on how they managed to build in such perfection. Theories have arisen how the huge blocks of stone were raised into position and why they were assembled at all. It is clear some were tombs for the king and his family but the subsidiary pyramids in the complex, puzzle archeologists on their purpose. The labor force needed to construct such a massive structure would require an advanced society, far ahead of other civilizations; not only in architecture but government as well. Building of the pyramids not only satisfied religious beliefs, but also benefited the economy.
An edifice built for a single person, their beliefs, and the stars in the sky. These are the surrounding aspects of the pyramids in Egypt and Central America, and while there are some similarities, there are many differences between the two kinds. The Mayan pyramids are located in Central America. They have stairs, with 365 steps, on each side of the pyramid that lead up to the “entrance to [the] inner temple chamber” at the top (Source 4: Infographic). The sides of it are like giant steps, and some of them were painted after being covered with plaster.
The kingdoms of Ancient Egypt have a long and detailed history ranging over thousands of years. This time period consists of the Old Kingdom through the New Kingdom. Between these two kingdoms, there was a lot of change. In the Old Kingdom of Egypt, Egypt flourished. It was a time of peace and prosperity.
“Thirty-six percent of Americans, about 80 million people, believe UFOs exist, and a tenth believe they have spotted one, a new National Geographic poll shows (Harish).” It is believed by many researchers throughout the world that Earth has been visited by ancient aliens, this theory is explained in the televised program, Ancient Aliens. Evidence to support other theories explained in this program can be found through the course of history in many civilizations. Such evidence includes three possible theories. The first theory explains how many pyramids share structural similarities, some corresponding to Constellations (Burns “Secrets of the…”).
