The Enigma of the Great Pyramid

Icon for Extremely interesting facts

The Great Pyramid of Cheops presents a mystery that many historians and archaeologists avoid addressing. Consisting of approximately 2,400,000 blocks of rock weighing between 2 and 70 tons, its construction shows incredible precision, with a margin of error of only 1 centimeter at the base and a perfect north alignment. This level of precision is comparable to that achievable today only with laser tools.

The real question is how long it took to build. If Egyptian workers had placed one block per day, construction would have taken 6,575 years. However, archaeologists say that the pyramid was completed in just 10 years, which would imply that one block was placed every minute during daylight hours.

This discrepancy raises questions about the actual duration and construction methods used, suggesting that the time and builders of the pyramid may not be those commonly accepted.
