Готовый перевод Великая пирамида Хеопса / The Great Pyramide: Текст

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

The Pyramid of Cheops.

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

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

An undescribable feeling.

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

Pyramids remain (are) a mystery.

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

The Pyramid of Cheops is the largest of the three.

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

It was built with an amazing calculation.

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.

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

It's an amazing sight.

The best-preserved wonder of the ancient world.

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

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

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

I'm going inside the pyramid.

It's amazing.

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

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

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

Very low passage.

I have to kneel (down).

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

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

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

Another hindrance.

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

Oh, God.

We pass through the granite wall.

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

And here is the sarcophagus.

The great pharaoh Cheops is used to lay here.

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

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

Simply giant.

The weight of one of them is about 80 tons.

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

Carved out of granite.

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

Nothing in this room can be a mistake or accident.

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

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).

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

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

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

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.

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

Scary? Incredible (unbelievable)! Maybe it's time to leave.
