Finding yourselves in Egypt, you probably understand what kind of treasure will be discussed.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:04

The Pyramid of Cheops.

Kirushenka555 20.02.12 в 17:42

Pure, simple, perfect shapes seem to emerge from a desert.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:15

The power comes from the combination of large sizes and geometry.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:16

An undescribable feeling.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:17

It can be treated as a natural creation and a creation of the gods.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:17

Pyramids remain (are) a mystery.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:19

We still don't know, when they were bulit, by whom and how.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:19

The Pyramid of Cheops is the largest of the three.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:21

It is believed to be built 4,5 thousand years ago by order of the Pharaoh Cheops in order to place here his tomb.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:24

It was built with an amazing calculation.

Kirushenka555 20.02.12 в 17:43

If we take to account the widespread opinion of a primitive technology of these times, then the construction of the pyramid would have been impossible.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:28

It consists of 2,5 million blocks, arranged in 203 rows, which rise to 147 meters.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:30

It's an amazing sight.

Kirushenka555 20.02.12 в 17:44

The best-preserved wonder of the ancient world.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:31

But the reason I've chosen this pyramid lies within it.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:32

The exit (outlet) where I am, was dug by the ruler of Cairo in the 9th century.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:34

He didn't manage to unravel the secret of the entrance and simply dug another.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:36

I'm going inside the pyramid.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:37

It's amazing.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:37

Now, this passage is connected with the real entrance, which rises up and is blocked by the stone.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:41

It was placed in order not to admit people to enter.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:42

And this passage leads upstairs into the chamber, where the Pharaoh Cheops is said to be buried.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:44

Very low passage.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:46

I have to kneel (down).

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:47

It turns out that I come into the room in a prayer pose, bowed my head.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:48

The aisle is perfectly (splendidly) constructed: the motionless body of the pyramid is held under my head by the huge weight of the stones.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:56

It is a bit uncomfortable when you think of it, moving down the aisle.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:53

Another hindrance.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:51

This passage is much lower than the rising up (ascending) corridor.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:50

Oh, God.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:49

We pass through the granite wall.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:57

Incredible! What a place! What a space! It is called The Royal Room, because The Pharaoh Cheops is thought to be buried here.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:58

And here is the sarcophagus.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 17:59

The great pharaoh Cheops is used to lay here.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:00

Of course, the sarcophagus had to be built right in the room, otherwise it couldn't be but let down from above.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:04

Just take a look at this space! The room is made up by huge granite stones.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:05

Simply giant.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:05

The weight of one of them is about 80 tons.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:06

Look at its size, how it is connected with others! Everything is perfectly fitted.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:12

Carved out of granite.

Kirushenka555 20.02.12 в 17:45

How? 4,5 years ago using primitive technologies? It is hard to believe, hard to understand.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:13

Nothing in this room can be a mistake or accident.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:48

Its proportions became typical of classical architecture of Greece, Rome and the Italian Renaissance.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:49

Man has always used a double cube, when wanted to create an impressive sacred space, which is connected with the gods and the othew world (the afterlife).

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:52

It started here, in this room, 4,5 thousand years ago.

Kirushenka555 20.02.12 в 17:45

This is exactly why it can be considered as the beginning of time, the beginning of civilization, the beginning of architecture.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:54

It's incredible: the more you stand here, the more you admire.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:54

For example, this room, where we think the Pharaoh was buried, is connected with outer world by two ventilation shafts to let the soul of the Pharaoh in.

ichuly 21.02.12 в 18:56

The moment I pronounce the word "soul" turns off the light.
