Who Were the Pharaohs?
The pharaohs were the ancient Egyptian rulers, believed to be divine beings. They controlled every aspect of Egyptian life, from politics and religion to art and architecture. Some of the most famous pharaohs include Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and Tutankhamun, whose tomb was discovered intact in the 20th century.
How Did They Build the Pyramids?
The construction of the pyramids remains one of the greatest engineering feats of the ancient world. For centuries, scholars have pondered how the ancient Egyptians managed to transport and lift massive stone blocks to such incredible heights.
Recent theories suggest that the Egyptians may have used a combination of ramps, levers, and pulleys to move the stones. Additionally, the discovery of ancient boat building techniques has led some to believe that the stones may have been transported by water along the Nile River.
