The three Giza pyramids are precisely aligned with the constellation of Orion, which could have been the intention of the builders because the stars of Orion were associated with Osiris, the god of rebirth and afterlife, by the Ancient Egyptians.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is estimated to consist of 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh anywhere between 2 to 30 tons with some blocks weighing over 50 tons.

The pyramids were originally covered with casing stones made of highly polished white limestone. These stones reflected the sun’s light and made the pyramids shine like a jewel.

With the casing stones covering the entire pyramid, it could have been seen from the mountains in Israel and maybe even from the moon.

In spite of the enormous heat outside, the temperature inside the pyramids actually stays relatively constant, around 20 Celsius (60 F).

It is hard to determine the exact number but the weight of the Pyramid of Cheops is estimated to be about 6 million tons.

HATUPOI

The Pyramid of Cheops was built to face true north. In fact, it’s the most accurately aligned to north of any structure in the world. Despite being made millennia ago, the pyramid still faces that direction with just a minimal error. However, this is because the North Pole shifts over time, which means at one time, the pyramid was spot on.

On average, each pyramid would have taken 200 years to build, which means there were often not just one but several pyramids being built at the same time.

 

[myoyambendi]

One of the reasons why the pyramids are so well-preserved is because of the unique mortar used. It’s stronger than the actual stone, but we do not know what exactly it was made from.

 

[myoyambendi]

Contrary to popular belief, the pyramids probably were not built by slaves or prisoners but regular paid workers.

Although many people associate pyramids with hieroglyphics, there have been no writing or hieroglyphics found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.

While experts usually agree on the hypothesis - that the pyramids were built from huge stones carved with copper chisels from stone quarries - the methods used to move and place the stones remain the matter of further debates and speculations.
