Egypt pyramids Explanation by Umair Ahmad
Egypt catches everyone who tries to investigate a little in
its history, a culture that developed in a harsh environment and managed to
create an incredibly advanced society, both in medicine, art, sculpture,
engineering and especially architecture. There is so much to talk about Egypt,
that today we are going to focus on its funerary architecture, the Pyramids of
Egypt. We will know, what they were for, who ordered them to be built, how they
were built, etc.
LIFE AFTER DEATH IN THE PYRAMIDS:
You cannot understand the pyramids, without knowing their
beliefs, since both are related. The Egyptians believed in life after death,
for which all their lives were dedicated to prepare for the arrival of that
moment. The book of the dead is a proof of this, a guide on how the body and
soul should be prepared for that momentous moment.
The-pyramids-of-egypt-the-book-of-the-dead:
After death, the spirit or Ka, it was divided into two, the
Ba or soul and the Akh or spirit. Of the two parties, the Ba accompanied the
deceased in his grave, could move as he pleased, while the Akh, was sent
directly to the underworld of Osiris, who would be responsible for judging the
spirit of the dead. To know what life Anubis had lived, he deposited the
deceased's heart on one side of a scale, at the other end, Ma’at (goddess of
truth and justice), deposited the pen of truth.If the balance was not kept in
balance, the deceased would suffer eternally an infinite number of punishments,
but if on the contrary the balance was balanced, it meant that he was worthy of
living in the great kingdom, along with other good souls and with the gods at
peace. and harmony, eternally.
The-pyramids-of-egypt-pyramids:
This is where the need to create a lasting, eternal
construction is born, since the soul of the deceased will live forever. He will
also need everything he had in this world, since the belief of the ancient
Egyptians was that the deceased could lead a life in the great kingdom just as
he could lead when they were alive. Reason why, in the burials furniture,
jewelry, accessories, food and entertainment or games were introduced.
WHAT ARE THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT:
During this period only the Pharaoh was the only one who had
the possibility of a life beyond. That is why its constructions are so
colossal. In later times, the entire town could live an eternal life if its
heart passed the test of the balance, which made many graves bloom, but
obviously the difference in construction, size and content, nothing had to do.
To build the house that is going to be the home of a
Pharaoh, a lot of time and resources had to be invested, so when a pharaoh came
to power, the construction of what will be his eternal house was immediately
started.
The-pyramids-of-Egypt-construction-pyramids:
In the beginning it was thought that these constructions
were executed by slaves, but the latest research, has asserted that for the
construction of the pyramids, wage-earning peasants were hired, when their work
in the field had been completed, they moved to the cities to Work in large
constructions. These farmers received a payment that was made up of salt, wheat
and barley.
The Lost City of Giza, City of the Builders:
Peasants arrived from every corner of Egypt, while their
fields remained in rest period, they found in the cities, a way to survive when
the field did not produce, over time, they even became professional, creating
cities so that these workers they could live having the necessary services for
the performance of their functions. Cities equipped with medical services to
meet the needs of workers.The organization of what we call peonadas today was very
efficient, creating groups of four workers under the command of a foreman, who
would be in charge of telling them what work to do and how to do it, in
addition to controlling their workers, sometimes scattered, especially that
time was not wasted in working hours. The first architect known to him was Imhootip, was
responsible for the design of the first stepped pyramid and the oldest, located
in Sakkara, was commissioned by Pharaoh, approximately in the year 2750 B.C. Many archaeological remains support the construction of at
least 100, some have endured better in time than others, although most of them
with serious structural failures, since the only way to progress in the
calculations was through the correction of the faults detected.
A complex and safe building was needed, if a fear of the
Egyptians was the judgment of the spirit, another fear they had was the looting
or destruction of the corpse, since if this happened the Ba, he would not have
a home to return to and so much Akh, like Ba, would experience the dead again,
but this time it would be more traumatic.
