Lets have a brain-storming sessions. Why Egypt Pyramid need to be a pyramidal shape? My first proposal is because the people scare that the cloud in the sky will drop off one solid piece, so they built a pyramidal shape castle to protect the king and must be pointed at the top to crack disperse the solid cloud that will fall upon them in one day. My second proposal is because the alien like the shape of pyramidal, it is the symbol of prosperity and royalty. Perhaps you can find some pyramid structure in other planet as well... Any other opinion?
Because if it wasn't pyramidal in shape it wouldn't be a pyramid. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Which is nonsense because the pyramids weren't castles for kings. What aliens? And what makes you think think it's a symbol of prosperity & royalty (for them)? Yeah, you're a crank.
A pyramid was the strongest very large structure they could build. Start wide and get thinner as it gets higher. No mystery.
Agree. I think we try to read too much into history at times. Sometimes I think historians 5000 years from now will think we all carried small square Gods around (cell phones).
I believe they wanted to show off their talents as mathematicians and builders. They math they found out about worked well in designing this type f structure so they convinced the king to let them show him what they could do for him and he said Okey Dokey.
I believe that the pyramids might have been built as bunkers to protect against the most extreme global catastrophes.
