How accurate are the pyramids built?

How accurate are the pyramids built? The square base of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, for instance, is just 3.4 arcminutes off of true north. That's a precision of about 1 millimeter per meter. Some of the later pyramids, however, deviate more, as if their architects' method for aligning them became less accurate over time.

Did the pyramids have electricity?

While many theories have been proposed about how they were built, some researchers believe that the pyramids may have been more than just tombs for pharaohs. They may have also been part of a sophisticated power grid that harnessed hydrogen as a fuel and transmitted electricity wirelessly through obelisks.

What is the most accurate theory on how the pyramids were built?

The Ramp Theory is considered by far the most accepted by the Egyptology community who believe that the pyramid was made by sheer will and human power suing a massive workforce and incredible intelligence in transporting the stones across the desert through sleds and ropes.

Are the pyramids hiding something?

Egyptian antiquities officials say they have confirmed the existence of a hidden internal corridor above the main entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Could humans build the pyramids today?

To build such a pyramid today (using modern technology and equipment such as cranes and helicopters), it would take 1,500 to 2,000 workers around five years, and cost around $5 billion.

Why are the pyramids such a mystery?

Considering the pyramids were built more than four thousand years ago, the exact technique of construction remains a mystery and modern-day equipment was not available at the time. It is believed that ancient Egyptians ferried the huge stone blocks on the Nile river.

How did Egyptians know true north?

Spence speculates that Egypt's pyramid builders found true north by using a plumb line: when the stars Kochab and Mizar were seen on the same vertical, one was facing north¹.

Does the Bible mention the pyramids?

The construction of the pyramids is not specifically mentioned in the Bible. What we believe about their purpose does not impinge on any biblical doctrine.

How long will pyramids last?

Many people have said that the pyramids would last 1 million years or even until the world ended, but I'd say around 10,000 to 100,000 years based on current observations.
