Recent Scans Of The Pyramids Revealed A Strange Sight Hidden Inside
Skyscrapers keep getting taller and cities keep getting bigger, and yet there are some ancient structures that we are still struggling to fully comprehend. Humankind has marveled at the great pyramids of Egypt for millennia, but they are chock full of secrets that can be difficult — not to mention dangerous — to uncover. Luckily, scientists have used cutting-edge technology to get a look inside these stone wonders like never before. Their findings are simply jaw-dropping.
An incredible achievement
Children were born, raised, and grown-up by the time the largest pyramid in the world was completed — in fact, they probably helped bring the ancient monument to life. The aptly-named Great Pyramid of Giza took 20,000 people and 20 years to complete…
Astonishingly fast
In the field of pyramid-building, 20 years to complete isn’t long — it’s actually astonishingly fast, especially considering the limited technology they had to help them build. After all, the workers didn’t exactly have cranes or diesel engines back then.
Before the wheel
At the time some of the pyramids were built, ancient civilizations still hadn’t even discovered the wheel. This meant they didn’t have any efficient mode of transportation, and it would have taken super-human strength to lug those blocks around.
Huge blocks
Obviously, the blocks we keep mentioning weren’t exactly light as a feather: They weighed up to 15 tons, equivalent to seven cars, and they were dragged 500 miles from the Nile. It’s a miracle the pyramids ever looked the way they did...
