Who Built the Egyptian Pyramids?

Who built the Egyptian pyramids?

Grain merchants...

getting back to the GRAIN STORAGE idea----it seems to me that the very early
"pyramids" called "mastabas" could very well have originated as grain storage
sites until----somehow, they got repurposed into tombs

Why? They had stone granaries.. The pyramids didn't have much storage room on the interior.

try to EXPAND your mind over time-----the very first mastabas were not the HUGE PYRAMIDS
of Giza-------they were fairly simply structures

Seriously. That makes no sense whatsoever. I've never understood why anybody anywhere drive to that very odd and silly Theory

You mean that the pyramids were for grain storage? LOLOL.. Its assinine. There are hundreds of small pyramids in northern Sudan and they weren't for grain storage either.

That silly myth arises out of the need for followers of abrahamic religions to try to force the square peg of factual history into the round hole that is their iron aged mythology.

as far as I know-----there are no myths regarding the pyramids or the mastabas that exist in
the literature of the abrahamic literature-------you seem to have a strong desire to invent
bullshit

I didn't say or imply that. The goofy 'pyramids to store grain' stuff was made up by people to gin up the part of Genesis that mentions Joseph storing an immeasurable amount of grain.

no you didn't-----what you did say was that you have DECIDED that you know why structures
that TODAY we call "pyramids" were built and what was their original purpose. In fact it seems
that the structure we call a "pyramid" evolved over millennia in various parts of the world and that
the functions of the very earliest are simply unknown or even how and why they developed into
elaborate burial chambers in Egypt is just unknown

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

NO, I just think it seems absurd that they were to store grain. And I identified the origin of that myth.

In fact it seems
that the structure we call a "pyramid" evolved over millennia in various parts of the world and that
the functions of the very earliest are simply unknown or even how and why they developed into

Okay, but that doesn't support the idea that they were built to store grain. That idea still seems pretty silly. And we know who thought it up and why.

All the pyramids have pictures and glifs that tell stories about the afterlife. There's no chance they were used to store grain. Their purpose was religious.

all of the thousands of mastabas of the early kingdom have been excavated? Why
would anyone bother? Did they all survive? Where did they store the grain?

Who built the Egyptian pyramids?
Owen Jarus 3 hrs ago


Egypt's pyramids are an archaeological marvel, rising high above the desert sands and visible for miles on end. Building these pyramids was undoubtedly a mammoth task, so who were the individuals that pulled it off?

a man riding a horse in a desert with Great Pyramid of Giza in the background: A Bedouin on a camel by the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure at the Giza Necropolis in Egypt.© Provided by Live Science A Bedouin on a camel by the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure at the Giza Necropolis in Egypt.
There are many theories about who built Egypt's pyramids, including large teams of enslaved Jewish people and wilder ideas, such as inhabitants of the 'lost' city of Atlantis or even aliens.

None of these theories, however, have evidence to back them up.

The pyramids could not have been constructed by Jewish slaves, as no archaeological remains that can be directly linked to the Jewish people have been found in Egypt that date back to 4,500 years ago, when the Giza pyramids were built, archaeological research has revealed. Additionally the story told in the Hebrew Bible about Jews being slaves in Egypt refers to a city named "Ramesses." A city named pi-Ramesses was founded during the 19th dynasty (about 1295-1186 B.C.) and was named after Ramesses II, who ruled 1279–1213 BC. This city was constructed after the era of pyramid construction had ended in Egypt.

"We have no clue, not even a single word, about early Israelites in Egypt: neither in monumental inscriptions on walls of temples, nor in tomb inscriptions, nor in papyri," wrote archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman in their book "The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of its Sacred Texts" (The Free Press, 2001).

What's more, no archaeological evidence has ever been found for the lost city of Atlantis in any time period, and many scholars believe that the story is fictional. As for aliens, well, that idea is out of this world.

In fact, all the evidence shows that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, Egyptologists say. But how the pyramid builders lived, how they were compensated and how they were treated is a mystery that researchers are still investigating.

The pyramids and their builders
Egypt has more than 100 ancient pyramids, but its most famous include the first step pyramid, built during the reign of the pharaoh Djoser (about 2630-2611 B.C.), and the first true pyramid — one that has smooth sides — built under the rule of pharaoh Snefru (about 2575-2551 B.C.), Mark Lehner wrote in his book, "The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries" (Thames & Hudson, 2008). The Great Pyramid was constructed at Giza during the reign of pharaoh Khufu (about 2551-2528 B.C.), and two of his successors, Khafre (about 2520-2494 B.C.) and Menkaure (about 2490-2472 B.C.), also had pyramids built at Giza.

Pharaohs gradually stopped building pyramids during the New Kingdom (1550-1070 B.C.), choosing instead to be buried in the Valley of the Kings, which is located about 300 miles (483 km) south of Giza, Lehner noted in his book. Over the past few decades, archaeologists have found new pieces of evidence that provide clues as to who the pyramid builders were and how they lived.

Surviving written records, including papyri discovered in 2013 at Wadi al-Jarf on Egypt's Red Sea coast, indicate that large groups of workers — sometimes translated as "gangs" — helped bring material to Giza. The papyri found at Wadi al-Jarf tell of a group of 200 men headed by an inspector named Merer. The group of workers transported limestone by boat along the Nile River a distance of about 11 miles (18 kilometers) from Tura to the Great Pyramid, where the stone was used to build the outer casing of the monument.

In the past, Egyptologists had theorized that the pyramid builders were largely made up of seasonal agricultural workers who had reached a point in the year in which there was little agricultural work to be done. However, it remains to be seen whether this is actually true. The papyri detailing the pyramid's histories are still in the process of being deciphered and analyzed, but the results indicate that the gang led by Merer did far more than help with pyramid construction.

I built the big one but subcontracted the others to some local guys.
They found problems accessing sand in the finish.

There is nothing complicated about the pyramids as a 2 year old can stack blocks without help

You are STUPID

That would take a two year old that is 500 feet tall. Can you imagine the size of the diaper they would need ?

LOL so the aliens came here from alpha centuria and couldn't figure out any better building material than stone.

Again the pyramids are not in any way complicated as they are merely one block stacked on another and repeat.

Yes, that is the only logical explanation for the pyramids.

Stone is a good building material and could easily survive the journey through space.

Ever see Ant-Man?
They could have just shrunk the pyramids down to where you could fit them in your pocket and then brought them back to normal size when they got here.

View attachment 489812

Makes more sense than a bunch of dumb Egyptians building them.

LOL so the aliens built the pyramids from space stone.

OK kid you are really ant man, at least in the IQ area anyway

Actually the quarries where the pyramid stone came from is well known as is the type of rock.

Seriously can you explain why the aliens brought their own stone to Earth to build?

I'm not sure the Bible says anything about Israel being in Egypt to build pyramids. They could have come later and been numbered among the various Levantine people who inhabited Egypt at the end of Egypt's Bronze Age.

Bandits, mercenaries, and slaves migrated to Egypt at this time, and like other ancients, Egyptians called these invaders "Sea Peoples."

I'm not sure the Bible says anything about Israel being in Egypt to build pyramids. They could have come later and been numbered among the various Levantine people who inhabited Egypt at the end of Egypt's Bronze Age.

Bandits, mercenaries, and slaves migrated to Egypt at this time, and like other ancients, Egyptians called these invaders "Sea Peoples."

Ancient Greeks called all people who did not speak Greek--"barbarians" Even the
people of the traditionally named "sophisticated" centers of the developing human
civilizations were remarkably primitive in world view

What does that have to do with the subject?

you are slow on the uptake, surada. YOU posted that Egyptians referred to
non egyptian regional people as "sea people" I am surprised. Egyptians were,
as a civilization, not ISOLATIONIST, yet according to you------the "others" were
thrown into a single category------"sea people" As to migration within the region
called "the Levant" the fact is that amongst HUMANS migration is characteristic.

Ancient Egyptians referred to NON-EGYPTIANS based on something written by some
ANNONYMOUS writer in GREEK-----sometime in the first or second century AD?

Ancient Egyptian History: Mastabas, the Original Pyramids

Ancient Egyptian History: Mastabas, the Original Pyramids

The original pyramid, a mastaba is a large rectangular structure that was used as a type of tomb, often for royalty, in Ancient Egypt.

Jan 11, 2018 · Technically, mastabas preceded the original pyramid. In fact, pyramids developed directly from mastabas, as the first pyramid was actually a type of step pyramid, which was constructed by stacking one mastaba directly on top of a slightly larger one. This process was repeated several times in order to create the initial pyramid.
