who make the great pyramid?

Answer 1

it was built for khufu(cheops in greek) scientists now believe it was built by peasants who worked on it when the flood waters of the nile made farming impossible...2600-2500 b.c.

Answer 2

The Pyramids. According to common perception they were built, with the begrudging help of great armies of slaves, by the ancient pharaohs of Egypt as tombs for preserving their royal bodies. Pyramids were meant to be monuments to the pharaoh's greatness, filled with great treasures for the afterlife. To construct these massive shrines, the pharaoh's copied the oldest and largest pyramid of all, the Great Pyramid of Giza. * Thirty times larger than the Empire State Building, the Pyramid's features are so large they can be seen from the Moon.
* Its base covers 13.6 acres (equal to seven midtown Manhatten city blocks), each side being greater than five acres in area.
* A highway lane eight feet wide and four inches thick could be built from San Francisco to New York and put inside the Great Pyramid.
* The oldest structure in existence, having been started 4,617 years ago, it is the sole remnant of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Answer 3

The Great Pyramid was constructed by Marcus Garvey in 1925. The largest and tallest building ever constructed on United States soil, it was planned as a center to promote peace between the races. Sadly, though, the evil white man was jealous of his more intelligent brothers and sabatoged the project in its final stages. Nichola Tesla, the most evil of whites, substituted inferior concrete for the crucial top 900 floors, and the building consequently collapsed of its own weight. The white man always tries to keep us down.

Answer 4

Ancient Egyptians for Pharoh Khufu. Built over 4,500 years ago, it took over 100,000 men more than 20 years to build this wonder.

Answer 5

The ANCIENT EMPIRE (2686-2181 BC)
Third Dynasty (2686-2613 BC)
The oldest pyramid was build for pharao Djoser (third dynasty, 2668 - 2649 BC). This pyramid lies in Saqqara (near Memphis, to the south of Cairo). This is the first known stone funerary complex.
The pyramid lies near the necropolis with mastaba's from the 1st and second dynasty. When completely finished, the steppyramid had 6 unequal steps up to a height of abaut 61 meters. At the base, the pyramid measured 123 meters (E-W) and 107 meters (N-S).
Originally, the building was a square-shaped mastaba (7,8 meters in height) which lay above an underground tomb (which lay 27 meters deep). The sides of this building were pointed towards the north, east, south and west, and were about 62,10 meters long.
Since then, the construction knew several phases of expansion, and since the fourth phase construction of a steppyramid with 4 steps began.
In the fifth phase of expansion, a pyramid with 6 steps was build. This wasn't completely square, but more rectangular.
At the north side of the pyramid, a temple was build. The pyramid lay within a great complex, which was enclosed by a rectangular wal of about 544 x 277 meters. This wall was probably about 10 or 11 meters high. Within these walls were multiple constructions besides the pyramid.

The next important pyramid was that of Houni (2637-2613 BC, last pharao of the 3rd dynasty), although some people think it belongs to pharao Snefru (1st king of the 4th dynasty).
This pyramid is quite steep (an angle of 52°), but never finished. It was made by 7 layers which lay around a core mastaba. The height was probably 90 meters, the sides were 146 meters long. To this day, only 3 floors remain. The entrance lies +/- 18 meters above ground level, at the north side. This pyramid is the first one to be perfectly square.

Fourth Dynasty (2613-2498 BC)
In the fourth dynasty (2613-2498 BC), the necropolises reach their point of glory. There are a couple of changes:
- the enclosure disappears
- the pyramid is completely square
- the pyramid no longer consist of steps, but is smoothly finished.
- the edges of the pyramids are always oriented to the north, east, south and west
- the entrance is always in the north.
- the temple for the cult of the dead is at the east side and is connected with a temple in the valley (near the Nily) by a long corridor.
- next to the great pyramids, multiple smaller ones exist for relatives of the pharao
A couple of features became essential for the construction of a pyramid. These features were:
- Horizontality: the layers of stone had to be perfectly horizontal. The difference in level between the several corners is never more than 2 centimeters.
- The length of the sides: the pyramids were always square, the difference in length between the 4 sides was never more than 20 centimeters. The difference between the top and the center point was never more than 30 centimeters.
- The sides of the pyramid were always directed towards the 4 wind regions (N,E,S,W), whilst a compass was unknown at the time. The deviations are: 3° (Djoser), 10" (pyramid at Dashur) and 5" (Cheops)

Pyramids of Snefru (2613-2589): this pharao build the pyramids at Dashur (35 kilometers sourth of Cairo), among which the "red pyramid", the first real pyramid.
The sides from the steppyramid at Dashur are 188 meters long. The pyramid is 97 meters high. The angle of the sides is 54°, but at a certain height becomes only 43°. This was possibly done to reduce the pressure, or to get the view of an obelisk, or to represent Northern and Southern Egypt (the latter is supported by the fact that this pyramid also has 2 entrances). This is actually the first pyramid which isn't quite a steppyramid anymore, but the sides are not completely smooth. Both entrances lead to a tomb which lies 25 meters underground.
The "red" or northerly pyramid (red because of the light of the evening sun) is the first real pyramid. Its ground plan is almost perfectly square (sides are +/- 220 meters), and is 104 meters in height. The angle of the sides is 43°. Originally the pyramid was dressed with blocks of limestone. At the north side, 30 meters above the ground, there is a corridor which leads to the tomb, about 7 meters above the ground.

Pyramid of Cheops / Chufu (2589-2566 BC):
Accoring to stories this pharao was the writer of the so-called "Holy Books", although nothing more is known about these books. According to some theories, the books are stored in a hollow space at the foot of the pyramid. These theories, however, are more of a fantasy than that they are science.
This pyramid is the biggest one ever build, and is classified by the Greeks as one of the 7 wonders of the world. The pyramid was build at the plateau of Gizeh, just Southwest of Cairo. It looks smaller than the pyramid of Chefren, but that's just because it's build on lower grounds. The original height would have been 146,6 meters, but it now is about 9 meters lower, because the top has been lost. The base of the pyramid has sides of 230 meters, and the orientation to the wind regions is practicaly perfect (5" deviation). The angle of the sides is 51°52'.
Blocks of limestone (without mortar) were covered by slabs made of limestone (an estimation is: 2.300.000 blocks, each weighing 2,5 tons. Napoleon supposedly calculated that he could build a wall around France of about 3,7 meters heigh and 30 cm wide).
The original plan was to place the chamber below surface, but eventually the chamber was build above ground level (mistakenly called the "queens room"), from this chamber onwards was a corridor to the actual tomb. In this tomb was a granite sarcofagus, which could only have gotten there before the tomb was closed by a ceiling. This chamber is about 42 cm above ground level and about 100 meters below the top.
Recent construction made the temples disappear, so they're unknown.

Pyramid of Khefren /Chafre (2558-2532 BC):
This is the second great pyramid at Gizah (originally 136,4 meters in height, now 9 meters lower).
Here too, the original plan was to build an underground tomb. afterwards, they changed the plans, and an entrance was made above the ground. This entrance leads to a tomb which was partially cut out in the rocks and was partially build. At the top of the pyramid, some of the original limestone slabs remain to be seen (which makes it easily recognizable).
The sides measure 215 meters, the angle is 53°. In the north side, two entrances are to be found. The first one (the oldest) runs to the first tomb. The second corricor (at 15 meters height) goes tot the second tomb.

Pyramid of Mykerinos/Menkaure (2532-2504 BC):
This is the smallest of the 3 pyramids at Gizah. It has a square base (108 meters), and was 66 meters high. The angle of the sides is 51°. The lower layers were covered with granite slabs, the other 3/4 were covered with limestone. The tomb lies in the centre of the pyramid, and is to be found under ground level. The small measurements point to political problems and an exhaustion of society, after the previous surpressing rule of his predecessors.

Mastaba of Shepseskaf (2504-2500 BC):
This pharao had a short reign as last king of the 4th dynasty, which was by then almost broken down. The decline of the dynasty is very well noticable in the fact that Shepseskaf did not build a pyramid, but only a mastaba. This was no longer at Gizah, but more southern, at Saqqara. The building is a rectangular mastaba (18 meters in height) with a first wall at a distance of 10 meters, and a second at 48 meters.

Fifth Dynasty (2498-2345 BC):
The royal power is in further decline, which is noticable in the ever smaller measurements and inferior architecture of the funerary monuments. These are build with inferior and smaller stones.

Pyramid-complex of Sahure at Abusir:
the pyramid has a base of 78 meters, and has a height of 49,50 meters. The tomb lies at ground level, exactly in the middle of the pyramid.

Pyramid of Unas, Saqqara:
The base was 67 meters, the height was only 19 meters, but this pyramid is important for the texts.

Sixth Dynasty (2345-2181 BC)
There is a continuation in the building of pyramids. These now have a basic plan of 78 x 52 meters, with a slope of 53°. The monuments are to be found at Saqqara (e.q. Pepi II, Teti)

Seventh to Tenth Dynasty (2181 - 2040 BC): distress in Egypt after the death of Pepi II, no known pyramids. This period is archaeologically very badly visible.

The MIDDLE EMPIRE (2040-1782 BC)
Eleventh (2040-1991 BC) & Twelfth Dynasty (1991-1782 BC):
Pharao Mentuhotep I reunited the Egyptian nation.
Graves are again located in Memphis. One can see a return to the architectural principles of the Ancient Empire. Pyramids are to be found in Dashur, Lisht, Hawara, Illahun and Mazhguna. Still, less work is being invested in the building, and as a result, most pyramids now are no more than ruins.
The mode of construction differed from that of the Ancient Empire: instead of massive structures, people now made an X-shaped structure which were filled with rubble and sand. Another technique was the making of a nucleus with unbaked tiles, which was then coverd by limestone slabs.

Pyramid of Sesostris I at Lisht: the cover is partially preserved. Originally is was 61 meters high, and had sides of 101 meters. The entrance was in the north-side. There was a small ritual pyramid and 9 pyramids for royal relatives.

Thirtheenth to Seventeenth Dynasty (1782-1570 BC):
once again there was distress in Egypt. During the 15th and 16th dynasty, the egyptians lived under foreign rule (the Hyksos). This is the period when Jacob came to Egypt.

The NEW EMPIRE (1570-1085 BC)
Since the graves were all too often plundered, the unity between the place were the body was placed and the place to worship the soul was broken. The body was being hidden in the most secret of ways, while the worshipping happened at an easily reachable location.
Thus during this period, no more pyramids are being build.
