There are more than seventy Egyptian pyramids, but only three of them became the most famous. These are the tombs of the pharaohs located in Giza - the pyramids of Khafre (Khafre), Cheops (Khufu) and Mekerin (Menkaure). Most of the mysterious legends and inexplicable incidents are associated with them.

It is impossible to say with certainty that today all the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids have been solved, because their priests were very resourceful and inventive. Perhaps our researchers have yet to unravel the riddles of the Sphinx and penetrate into the very essence of Egyptian architecture, science and magic...

Secrets of the Pyramid of Khafre

The height of this structure is 136.5 meters. Its structure is relatively simple - two entrances located on the north side and two chambers. The Pyramid of Khafre was built from stone blocks of different sizes and lined with slabs of white limestone. The top of the pharaoh's tomb is made of beautiful yellow limestone.

It is not safe to try to penetrate the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids! Proof of this is the event that happened to tourists in 1984. An impressive queue stood in front of the entrance to the tunnel leading deeper into the Pyramid of Khafre. Everyone was awaiting the arrival of the group, which went to a compact room with a sarcophagus - the tomb of Pharaoh Khafre, in which the mummy of the ruler was once sealed. It is believed that this pharaoh, in addition to his pyramid, built the mysterious man-lion - the Great Sphinx.

Finally the tourists returned, but what happened to them! People were choking from coughing, staggering from weakness and nausea, their eyes were red. Later, the tourists said that they all simultaneously felt irritation in the respiratory tract, pain in the eyes, and experienced severe lacrimation. The victims were provided with medical assistance and examined, but... No abnormalities were identified. People were told that the tomb of the pharaoh was probably filled with some mysterious gas that had leaked into the tomb in an unknown way.

The tomb was closed, and a commission was urgently convened to solve this mystery of the Egyptian pyramid. Experts have put forward several working versions - the emergence of caustic gases from faults in the depths of the earth's crust, the actions of unknown attackers, and even intervention. But according to the most interesting version, one of the ancient traps equipped by the priests against robbers could be located in the tomb of the pharaoh.

Tomb of Pharaoh Mikerin

The Greeks called Khafre's son and heir Mikerin. To this ruler belongs to the smallest of the famous great pyramids. The original height of the structure was 66 meters, today's height is 55.5 meters. Side length is 103.4 meters. The entrance is located on the northern wall; part of the cladding has been preserved there. The tomb of Mikerin also contributed to the formation of legends about the Egyptian pyramids.

In 1837, the Mikerin pyramid was discovered by the English Colonel Howard Vance. In the golden chamber of the tomb, he discovered a sarcophagus made of basalt, as well as a wooden coffin lid carved in the shape of a human figure. This find has been dated as belonging to the era of early Christianity. The sarcophagus was never delivered to England - the ship carrying it from Egypt sank.

There is a legend that the Egyptians adopted some secrets from the Atlanteans who arrived in their country. For example, it is believed that the effect it has on the cells of a living organism depends on the mass and shape of the pyramid. The pyramid can both destroy and heal diseases. It is known that the influence of the field of the Mikerin pyramid is so great that tourists who stay in its critical zone for a long time... Some people entering the tomb of Pharaoh Mikerin faint and suddenly feel a deterioration in their health. You should not try to unravel the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids by trial and error.

Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)

The records of the Greek historian Herodotus indicate that the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops was built over a period of more than 20 years. During this period, approximately 100,000 people were constantly employed at the construction site. The body of the legendary Cheops pyramid consists of 128 layers of stone, the outer edges of the structure were lined with snow-white limestone. It should be noted that the facing slabs are fitted with such precision that it is impossible to insert even a knife blade into the gap between them.

Many researchers have tried to penetrate the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. Egyptian archaeologist - Mohammed Zakaria Ghoneim discovered an ancient Egyptian pyramid with an alabaster sarcophagus located inside. When the excavations were coming to an end, one of the stone blocks collapsed, taking several workers with it. There was nothing in the sarcophagus raised to the surface.

The Englishman Paul Brighton, having heard that many tourists visiting the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops complained of poor health, decided to experience the influence of the pyramid for himself. The tireless researcher penetrated directly into the burial room of Cheops, which ended very badly for him. After some time, Brighton was discovered and removed from there. The Englishman was in a semi-conscious state; he later admitted that he lost consciousness from indescribable horror.

The Mystery of the Egyptian Pyramid of Tutankhamun

The autumn of 1922 forever left its mark on the history of the development of archaeological science - the English archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the pyramid of Tutankhamun. On February 16, 1923, Carter and Lord Carnarvon (the philanthropist who financed this enterprise) opened the tomb in the presence of several witnesses.

In the sarcophagus room there was a tablet containing an inscription in the ancient Egyptian language, which was deciphered later. The inscription read: “Anyone who disturbs the peace of Pharaoh will be quickly overtaken by death.” When the archaeologist deciphered the tablet, he hid it so as not to confuse his companions and workers with this warning.

Further events developed at a rapid pace. Even before the pharaoh's tomb was opened, Lord Carnarvon received a letter from Count Haymon, an English clairvoyant. In this letter, the Count warned Carnarvon that if he penetrated the secret of the Egyptian pyramid of Tutankhamun, he would suffer a disease that would lead to death. This message greatly alarmed the lord, and he decided to seek advice from the famous fortune teller named Velma. The clairvoyant repeated Count Haimon's warning almost word for word. Lord Carnarvon decided to stop the excavations, but preparations for them had already gone too far. Involuntarily, he had to challenge the mystical forces guarding the tomb of the pharaoh...

57-year-old Lord Carnarvon suddenly fell ill just six weeks later. At first, doctors believed that the disease was the result of mosquito bites. Then it turned out that the lord cut himself while shaving. But be that as it may, the lord soon died, and the cause of his death remained unclear.

This incident is not limited to the death of Lord Carnarvon. Within a year, five more members of this expedition died, having penetrated the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids. Among them were conservationist Mace, English literature professor La Fleur, Carter's secretary Richard Bethel, and radiologist Wood. Mace died at the same hotel where Carnarvon died, also of unknown cause. Before his death, he began to complain of attacks of weakness, experienced melancholy and apathy. Over the course of several years, 22 people who were in one way or another related to the excavations and research of the pharaoh’s tomb died suddenly and quickly.

Strange but true: Lord Canterville transported on the Titanic the perfectly preserved mummy of Amenophis the Fourth, an Egyptian soothsayer who lived during the time of Amenhotep the Fourth. This mummy was removed from a small tomb above which the temple towered. Her peace was protected by those who accompanied the mummy on this journey. Under the head of the mummy there was a tablet with an inscription and an image of Osiris. The inscription read: “Wake up from the fainting spell you are in and triumph over all intrigues against you.”

Why were the pyramids of Giza built?

Such majestic structures could be not only the tombs of the pharaohs. The secrets of the Egyptian pyramids have not been solved to this day. And yet there are some assumptions regarding their purpose. Pyramids can be:
- encyclopedias of knowledge, a kind of treasury of Egyptian wisdom ();
- astronomical observatories;
- barriers against sand coming from the desert;
- standards of architecture;
- alien information capsules;
- border fortresses and even a berth for Noah's ark.

And this is only a small part of the assumptions made regarding these architectural structures. As you can see, the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids have not yet been solved...

One of these unsolved mysteries is the fantastic speed of construction with which each tomb of the pharaoh was erected. Scientists calculated it based on the life expectancy of the rulers, the time of the Nile flood, and other factors. It turned out that 4 blocks were installed every minute, and 240 every hour! And this is only with the help of primitive mechanisms - levers, ropes, etc. There is even an incredible assumption that the Egyptian priests possessed the secret of overcoming the law of attraction.

Who will master all the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids? What power lies within these timeless walls? Perhaps we have yet to witness the discoveries of modern researchers. Or maybe the tomb of the pharaoh is waiting for you?

Introduction

We know about six of the seven wonders of the world only from literary articles and popular science films. Some of them could not survive even several decades, forever sinking into history. And only the Egyptian pyramids are not subject to time. It seems that they are time itself.

Grandiose buildings, fantastic in their uniqueness, rising to the sky under the hot desert sun, have long attracted the attention of people, bewitching them with their antiquity, enormous size, which is combined with impeccable geometric correctness. Among the huge columns of ancient temples, rising to the sky and often standing like trees in a forest, you can get lost. At the entrance to these temples, like a formidable guard, stand huge statues of pharaohs and stone sphinxes. Sphinx - in Ancient Egypt - the embodiment of royal power, a statue depicting a fantastic creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human or sacred animal.

The emergence of the pyramids

The first pyramids appeared in the 3rd millennium BC. How did the ancient Egyptians bury their kings before the pyramids appeared?

The predecessors of the pyramids of Ancient Egypt were the so-called “mastabas”, funerary buildings consisting of an underground burial chamber and a rectangular stone structure above the surface of the earth.

The first pyramid, the step pyramid of Djoser, built around 2670 BC, resembles several mastabas of decreasing size stacked on top of each other. Another of the first pyramid researchers believed that the step pyramid was a kind of predecessor of the “true,” classical pyramid.

In Giza, not far from present-day Cairo, among the desert sands there are three huge geometric bodies - the impeccably regular tetrahedral Egyptian pyramids of the pharaohs Cheops, Khafre and Mikerin. They have stood for more than forty centuries; they embody the very history of Ancient Egypt and its unique art.

The choice of the location of the pyramids is not accidental; it is connected with their purpose, embodying religious ideas on the basis of which the entire culture of Ancient Egypt was formed. Egyptian mythology paid special attention to the funeral cult, which later merged with the cult of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. When the pharaoh of Egypt died, he was identified with one of the most revered gods of Egypt - Osiris (personifying the world of dying and resurrecting nature), a magnificent mystery with a funeral rite was organized in his honor, and the new king was declared the incarnation of another deity - Horus - the bearer of goodness and justice, life-giving sunlight.

In the ancient kingdom, such funeral rituals were arranged only for the pharaohs of Egypt; later they spread more widely and became part of the funeral ceremony of every noble and rich person. Only ordinary community members and slaves were buried without any honors: they were simply buried in the sand.

The placement of the Egyptian pyramids on the border of the lands irrigated by the Nile and the desert had a deeply symbolic meaning - the pharaohs found their last refuge in the sacred sands, which embodied the kingdom of the dead, but their grandiose tombs were visible from everywhere, as a reminder of eternity. The border of the desert is still guarded by a colossal sphinx - a lion with the face of Pharaoh Khafre. It was created not only by human hands, but also by the desert itself: people hewed and processed a rock similar in shape to the body of a lying lion.

Myths around the pyramids

The myths of Ancient Egypt could not even touch the pyramids. The cult of death, namely, it was so strong in Egypt and gave rise to the construction of tombs.

The story about Pharaoh Khufu and the sorcerer Djedi, in addition, justifies the incredible costs, including human ones, that went into the construction of the pyramids, by the will of the gods. Even the good pharaoh's attempt to stop construction to allow people to return to their fields led to his early death.

The entire funeral process is an illustration of myths.

Pharaoh was likened to Osiris. His sarcophagus resembled the chest into which Set tricked Osiris and locked him in an attempt to seize power.

It is in myths that the first mummy is described - the body of Osiris, which, with the help of oils and medicinal herbs that prevent decay, was put together from scattered pieces by Anubis. And according to this myth, this is why people began to subject their dead to the process of mummification.

The afterlife in the culture of Ancient Egypt had a special meaning; it was considered the most important event for all earthly creatures, and life in the usual sense was needed from the point of view of the funeral cult in order to prepare for this main event. Therefore, in Ancient Egypt, after death, not only people, but also sacred animals were embalmed and buried in special sarcophagi: cemeteries of bulls, rams, cats, even crocodiles have been preserved. The Egyptian Book of the Dead describes in detail the content and meaning of these rituals. The deceased nobleman was embalmed, showered with jewelry, and a sacred amulet - a scarab beetle - was placed on his chest. A spell was written on the scarab, calling on the heart of the deceased not to testify against him during the trial of Osiris, where he was supposed to appear.

After judgment and purification, the afterlife began, similar in every way to earthly life. This was the main meaning of Egyptian mythology and the system of religious cults. In order for the deceased to live happily beyond the grave, he had to be provided with everything he possessed on earth. Right down to your own body, which has escaped decay. Hence the famous custom of mummifying bodies. But it was not enough to preserve the body - it was necessary to preserve the deceased’s wealth: slaves, livestock, family. Many eastern peoples solved this problem simply and harshly - when a noble person died, they killed his widow and servants and buried him along with the master. This was done, for example, in ancient Babylon. But the religion of Ancient Egypt was more humane: it did not require sacrifices; it was not the executioners, but the artists who ensured the posthumous well-being of the deceased ruler. In the hidden, walled-up burial chambers there were numerous sculptures, figurines and paintings depicting a string of earthly events. Many modern Eastern cultures still maintain a similar sacred and reverent attitude towards death.

The belief that the soul of a deceased pharaoh lives in every pyramid, it would seem, should only affect illiterate people, but for some reason even many civilized people in the labyrinths of the pyramids cannot cope with the sudden surging mixture of awe and horror.

In the autumn of 1922, the English archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. On February 17, 1923, Carter and Lord Carnavon, who financed him, opened the tomb in the presence of several invitees. Six weeks later, 57-year-old Lord Carnavon suddenly fell ill and died of unknown causes. Over the course of a year, five more people who visited the tomb die suddenly. This is how the legend of the “curse of the pharaoh” was born.

The version about the Egyptian pyramids as the creation of aliens excites many serious minds. The ancient Egyptians would have had to know too many technical, architectural, mathematical and astronomical aspects of construction to erect such a structure.

Sphinx

Sphinx translated from Arabic means Father of Terror.

It is a lion sphinx with a human head. Currently, the statue has lost its nose, the Mamluks shot it off, but despite this, the grandiose statue looks impressive. Of course, its length is 73 meters, and its height rises 20 meters and is carved from a whole piece, which serves as the rocky base of the plateau.

There is a version according to which, initially the statue had the head of a lion, but later it was given a human form; they also say that it has the facial features of Pharaoh Khafre, near whose pyramid this statue is located. This assumption arose due to the discrepancy between the proportions of the body and head, which is strange for such skilled builders as the Egyptians were.

The strange thing is that the sphinx is located, as it were, in a depression, leveling it with the level of the ground around it, only its head will remain on the surface. The reason why it was built this way is unknown.

The Sphinx was dug up during the time of Pharaoh Thutmose, and its restoration was carried out at the same time.

The appearance of the sand statue is associated with a legend according to which, when Thutmose was only one of the contenders for the throne, having fallen asleep near the pyramids, he had a dream in which he was promised the crown of the kingdom if he freed the sphinx from the sand.

Sphinx and Egyptian gods

Secrets of the pyramids: the curse of the pharaohs. Part 1

The beginning of the 20th century was marked by numerous reports in newspapers about the mysterious deaths of dozens of people who disturbed the peace of the mummies of the pharaohs. These cases gave rise to talk about the curse of the pharaohs. The ancient Egyptians believed that the body that would inhabit the other world would not survive if the earthly body was not in normal condition. For this purpose, the bodies of the dead were mummified and placed in a sarcophagus. Of course, this was not available to everyone. The sarcophagus, especially among the pharaohs, was made of precious metals and shaped like a body. Various objects were also left next to the deceased that a person would certainly need after death: money, food, jewelry, weapons, etc. The sarcophagus, in turn, was placed in a pyramid, the construction of which presents a separate mystery. The ancient Egyptians went to great lengths to ensure maximum peace for the mummy. For this purpose, they created false passages, failures, collapsing ceilings, closing rooms, falling stones, etc. In addition, the burial of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs included the ritual of casting a spell that protected the mummy from the worries of the outside world. As history has shown, this spell, now called the curse of the pharaohs, turned out to be very effective. However, this did not stop the robbers, and they still tried to enter the burial places for profit.

Once, in one of the tombs of the valley of the pyramids, the corpse of a man was discovered, and not far from it there was a sign on which it was written: “the spirit of the deceased will break the neck of the robber.” The thief actually lay with a broken neck due to a stone falling on him, installed in the tomb as a trap.

The Englishman Paul Brighton learned that many tourists visiting the stone depths of the Great Pyramid of Cheops feel ill, and decided to test the rumors about the reality of the spirits there from his own experience. To do this, he entered the burial room of Cheops, and almost said goodbye to life: after some time he was taken out of there in a semi-conscious state. He later admitted that he lost consciousness from inexplicable, inhuman horror.

Egyptian archaeologist Mohammed Zakaria Ghoneim managed to discover an unknown ancient Egyptian pyramid with an alabaster sarcophagus, the mystery of which remains to this day. The excavations were coming to an end, and it seemed that the path to the tomb was about to be cleared, when suddenly a disaster occurred. One of the stone blocks suddenly fell through and dragged several workers underground with it. There was a terrible collapse of sand and stones, which buried people under it. In this case, one person died, the rest were saved. However, rumors increased the number of victims by more than 80 times. It was claimed that the entire pyramid had collapsed, burying the expedition. An investigation began and excavations were suspended. Not a single local worker now wanted to even come close to the pyramid. People were terribly scared. After three years of searching, which were subsequently continued by this archaeologist, it was possible to discover the name of the hitherto unknown pharaoh of the III dynasty, Sekhemkhet. However, there was nothing in his sarcophagus! And the curse of the pharaohs was not long in coming, since shortly after his discovery, Mohammed Zakaria Ghoneim died tragically: he drowned in the Nile.

In the fall of 1922, a significant event occurred in the history of archeology. English archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. In February 1923, Carter and Lord Carnarvon, who financed his enterprise, opened the tomb in the presence of several invited persons. There was a sarcophagus here, as well as many different items, including jewelry. It was a triumph not only for the successful archaeologist, but also for the enterprising lord banker and collector. In the room with the sarcophagus there was a sign with a short and clear inscription, which read as follows: “Death will quickly overtake the one who disturbs the peace of the pharaoh.” At that moment, no one knew the ancient Egyptian language, and therefore no one understood what this hieroglyphic inscription meant. Somewhat later, the archaeologist finally deciphered the inscription, but hid the tablet so that the workers would not take the warning too seriously.
Further events developed like this. Even before the opening of the pyramid, the English clairvoyant Count Haymon sent a letter to Lord Carnarvon. The text warned him about the curse of the pharaohs: "Lord Carnarvon, do not enter the tomb, disobedience leads to death. First, you will have an illness from which you will not recover. Death will take you in Egypt." The lord was seriously alarmed. Friends advised him to contact a famous fortune teller named Velma. The clairvoyant, having examined his hand, said that she “sees the possibility of death associated with the curse of the pharaohs.” The lord got scared and decided to stop the excavations, but it was too late: the preparations had gone too far. The lord nevertheless challenged the mystical forces... And was defeated by these forces! Just six weeks later, Lord Carnarvon suddenly fell ill. At first it was believed that his illness was caused by mosquito bites. Then it turned out that he cut himself while shaving. Be that as it may, but as a result, the lord at the age of 57 died suddenly for an unknown reason. If you believe the reports of journalists, the details of the tragedies caused by the “curse of the pharaohs” look like this: at the moment of Carnavon’s death, the lights suddenly went out in all of Cairo for several days, and in the English family estate of the lord, his beloved fox terrier howled and collapsed dead. It was said that of those who were present at the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb, most soon died. In particular, death overtook two pathologists who performed an autopsy on the mummy. After these events were published in the press, the mummies of the pharaohs, as well as their tombs, began to be considered a source of mortal danger. Journalist Helga Lippert wrote: “Carnavon’s death marked the beginning of a whole series of mysterious and unexpected deaths. Over the course of the year, five more people die quite suddenly. All of them visited the tomb of Tutankhamun. Among them was the radiologist Wood, who X-rayed the pharaoh’s mummy right in the tomb, English professor of literature La Fleur, conservation specialist Mace, as well as Carter's secretary Richard Bethel. Thus was born the not unfounded legend of the “curse of the pharaohs.” Mace, who moved the last stone blocking the entrance to the main chamber, died in the same hotel as Carnarvon. The cause of death could not be established: he began to complain of unusual fatigue, frequent attacks of weakness, apathy and melancholy. All this ended in a rapid loss of consciousness and sudden death."

The story of Tutankhamun's tomb did not end with these events. Multimillionaire George Jay-Gold, an old acquaintance of Lord Carnarvon and a great lover of archeology, closely followed all the affairs of the expedition: many of the finds discovered there were in his hands. One day he was overcome by a sudden chill. The next day, by evening, the millionaire died, and doctors again could not establish a diagnosis. In a matter of years, 22 people died who were in one way or another related to the Egyptian pyramids and mummies of the pharaohs. Moreover, death was fleeting and sudden. Death overtook the then famous archaeologists and doctors, historians and linguists who were involved in the study of the tombs. Lady Carnarvon died in 1929. Rumors about Tutankhamun's curse spread throughout the world. When another member of the Batelle expedition died, his father, Lord Wesbury, upon learning of this, jumped out of the window of the 7th floor of the hotel. When the corpse of a suicide was being transported to the cemetery, a hearse, moving at extremely low speed, killed a child playing in the street.

After numerous observations, it was found that almost all researchers who dealt with mummies subsequently suffered from clouding of reason, became delirious in reality, fell into prostration, and lost their legal capacity. There have been attempts to explain what is happening. One of them is as follows. Mold spores were found in the tombs, causing serious lung diseases. It is known that most of the victims suffered from pulmonary ailments before visiting the tombs, and fungi fatally damaged the weakened body. However, this does not explain all cases of sudden deaths. In some cases, their character is clearly supernatural.

There is information that the Titanic disaster is also connected with the curse of the pharaohs by an invisible thread. Shortly before the Titanic's fatal collision with an iceberg, the experienced steamship captain Edward Smith behaved strangely. For an inexplicable reason, he did not adhere to the set course, the ship was traveling at increased speed, and after the collision, the signal for help was sent with an unacceptable delay. In addition, it was too late for the passengers and crew to be informed of the need to escape. With all this, Lord Canterville was transporting the mummy of the Egyptian soothsayer Amenophis IV on the Titanic. He transported the mummy from England to America in a wooden box, placed not in the hold, but, due to the special value of the cargo, near the captain's bridge. This mummy was removed from a tomb over which stood a small temple. Her peace was protected by sacred amulets that accompanied the mummy on this journey. Under her head was an image of Osiris with a threatening inscription: “Wake up from your fainting state in which you are, and one look from your eyes will triumph over any intrigues against you.” Magic gems lay in front of the mummy's eyes. It is not difficult to guess what danger the crew of the Titanic was exposed to, although, most likely, the mummy was not the determining cause of this tragedy...

The tragic events associated with the curse of the pharaohs do not stop in our time. Thus, in December 1993, the Associated Press agency reported that the grave of Pharaoh Peteti and his wife had been opened in Giza. Its age is 4600 years. The researchers discovered the inscription: “The great goddess Hathor will twice punish anyone who dares to desecrate this grave.” The excavation director, Zaki Hawass, suddenly suffered a heart attack that almost cost him his life. An earthquake destroyed the house of his fellow archaeologist. The photographer was injured, and the train carrying the recovered relics derailed.

Not long ago, a group of physicists Luis Alvarez from the University of Los Angeles tried to explore the Great Pyramid using cosmic rays. However, the pictures were inadequate. Dr. Arm Gohead stated: "Either the geometry of the pyramid introduces significant interference, or some force violates the laws of science when working inside the pyramid." There is an opinion that in the tomb of the pharaohs there are spells - psycho-energy clots sent by priests by force of will into teraphim objects. Teraphim are capable of maintaining spells for many millennia.

The famous Carlos Castaneda, who was taught by two Mexican yogis Don Juan Matus and Don Genaro Flores, writes in his book “The Eagle's Gift”: “...We can withstand one trip to the pyramids. On the second visit, we will feel an incomprehensible sadness, like a cold breeze that makes us sluggish and tired. Such fatigue will very soon turn into bad luck. After some time we will become bearers of misfortune. All kinds of troubles will haunt us (which is what happened in the 20th century). Our failures are due to our willful visits to these ruined pyramids." Don Juan Matus told Castaneda that all historical ruins in Mexico, especially the pyramids, are harmful to the uninitiated modern man. He described the pyramids as creatures alien to the expression of our thoughts and actions. Every detail, every the drawings in the pyramids were a calculated effort to express aspects of attention that are now alien and incomprehensible to us.

Who Really Built the Egyptian Pyramids? Why can’t modern architects create similar structures, even using the latest technologies? What were the pyramids really for and how old are they? Based on many years of research, the English engineer and researcher Robert Bauval and the famous Egyptologist Adrian Gilbert made a sensational discovery that completely changes our ideas about world history and Ancient Egypt. Developing their hypothesis, the authors come to another amazing...

Pyramid Boris Bondarenko

Naturally, we’ll start dancing from the stove. Or rather, from the reactor of the world's first nuclear power plant. It was he, dear one, who inspired the writer BORIS BONDARENKO to create the famous novel “Pyramid” in 1973, which tells about nuclear physicists. The book was written with excellent humor - physicists then loved and knew how to joke - and intonationally resembled the Strugatskys’ story “Monday Begins on Saturday,” which had a positive effect on its popularity among young people. Until the early 80s, “Pyramid” was still considered a cult among first-year students of the then MEPhI...
