8 Amazing Things You May Not Know About the Great Pyramid of Giza

Posted byBy Olivia | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

No one knows exactly how the Great Pyramid was constructed.

The method by which the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid is unknown. Many theories surround the methods of construction used to build the Great Pyramid. Many archaeologists claim that the ancient Egyptians used basic, obsolete instruments. However, many believe this notion to be a political tactic used to downplay the genius of ancient Egyptian civilizations. Others have gone on to say that the ancient Egyptians employed the help of their own spiritual powers or extraterrestrial beings.

 

 

The Center of the Earth

The Great Pyramid is located directly in the center of the Earth.

Without the help of modern technology, the ancient Egyptians managed to center the location of the Great Pyramid in relation to the entire globe. The ancient-code.com article confirms the following: The east/west parallel that crosses the most land and the north/south meridian that crosses the most land intersect in two places on the Earth, one in the ocean and the other at the Great Pyramid.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
