Giza Necropolis

At about twenty centuries ago there was an amazing discovery about right angled triangles: “In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.” It is called Pythagoras Theorem and can be written in one short equation: a²+b²=c² where c is the longest side of triangle and a and b are the other two sides. Pythagoras was born in the island of Samos in 570 BC in Greek in the eastern Agean. He was the son of Mnesarchus and his mother's name was Pythais as early writers say. His father was a gem-engraver or a merchant. As to the date of his birth Asistoxenus stated that Pythagoras left Samos in the reign of Polycrates at the age of forty. Great Philosophers/Scholars does not agree that Pythagorean Theorem was proved by himself. In twentieth century Bartel Leendar van der Waerden conjected that Pythagorean triple were discovered algebraically by the Babylonians. The Baudhaya Sulba Sutra the dates of which are given variously as between (800 BC & 200 BC) in India contains a list of Pythagorean triples discovered algebraically. Philosophers Proklos and Plato (400 B.C.) gave Pythagorean triple algebra and Geometry, also in China, Gnomon proved this theorem called 'Gough Theorem" having triple. (3, 4, 5) This theorem was called Bhaskara theorem in India. During the Han Dynasty form (202 B.C. to 220 A.D.) Pythagoras triple appear in the nine chapter on the Mathematical Art together with a mention of right triangles. The…

The Pyramids are filled with mysteries, such as the real reason they were built, who built them, and many more. Some say the Pyramids were built for Pharaohs and others say that they were built as an alien spaceship. Many say, that the pyramids were built by groups of men, up to 10,000 at a time. Others say that they were built with the large groups, however the men were all under the control of a God. Finally some say that aliens built the Pyramids. Although many people say that the…

Having the privilege of being born and raised in Giza, Egypt, I thought what would be a better choice for this paper other than the Great Pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramids of Giza are most certainly an architecture marvel, as they were once one of the Seven Wonders of the World, nevertheless, they still hold the title of the only surviving monument of the original ancient wonders. These three Great pyramids are funerary structure built for three kings from the 4th dynasty. I will be…

Part A Q1. The great pyramid of Giza built around the Antiquity age period is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Built-in 2560 BC, the purpose of the structure was to become the tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu. Surrounding the pyramid itself were often other structures, such as pyramids for family members, various temples, and shrines(known as necropolis). The pyramid was believed to link Khufu to the life of the immortals. The structure acted as a sacred gateway that let kings pass…

All throughout history management Theorists have attempted to get the best and most efficient use out of labour, managers and employees, as well as their equipment through observation and experimentation. In many cases management theorists have stumbled upon many of their ideas by accident while working. Management history can be traced back to around 4000BC, in Egypt, as those who created the pyramids would have had some concept of management skills. Two of the most influential theorists of the…

Intro Akkadian Empire is one of the most fascinating civilisations do you know why? Well because Sargon was the first ruler to rule an empire in the world, Sargon was one of the many rulers that ruled the Akkadian Empire. There were five rulers including Sargon. Sargon, Rimush, Manishtushu, Naram Sin, and Shar-Kali-Sharri, were all rulers of Akkadian Empire. Akkadian Empire was fascinating because of its Geography, Government, Economics, Values and Beliefs, Contributions, Developed way of live,…

At 29,029 feet (8,848 meters), Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world in terms of altitude. However, the tallest mountain is actually Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which measures 33,480 feet (10,205 m) from its underwater base to its peak, according to Guinness World Records. (Most of Mauna Kea is underwater.) Everest is located at the border of Nepal to the south and China or Tibet on the north. It is over 60 million years old. Everest was formed by the movement of the Indian tectonic…

Pyramid, especially the big Pyramid in Giza, is the most magnificent artificial building in history. Their large scale reflects the unique role of Pharaoh or the king in ancient Egyptian society. Although the construction of Pyramid from the beginning of the old Dynasty to the end of the Ptolemy era in the fourth Century ad, the peak of the construction of Pyramid started at the end of the Third Dynasty and lasted until about sixth (2325 BC). More than 4000 years later, Egyptian pyramids still…

The Colossal Heads also appear to be wearing helmets, something that has puzzled researchers ever since they were discovered. The first Olmec head was discovered at Tres Zapotes where at the same time 'Stelae C' was discovered. Markings on Stelae C bear the Olmec calendar long count date which converts to 31 BC. This date on the stelae gives us a probable date for the placement of the Colossal Head. More gigantic heads like the one at Tres Zapotes, in addition to a number of massive stone…

Great Pyramid of Giza - the only pyramid with ascending and descending passes. One can not be isolated in its design it is a huge descent, called the "big gallery". At its end is a narrow passage that leads to the "king room", where the walls are decorated with polished granite. Scientists believe that the "room of the King" was a triumph of Egyptian geometry, because, according to their calculations, it was built in proportion to the golden section. The sarcophagus is made of red granite…
