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.

Yeah? so? it was a technique of construction. In the USA, HISTORICALLY, grain was stored
in HIGH TOWERS called SILOS. Silos are impressive structures too

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.

The Bible doesn't say anything about the Israelis constructing pyramids in the first place. Apparently you got your history from the film The Ten Commandments. LOL!

at no time have any jews claimed that jews built the pyramids or that they were used to store grain or that jews steal rain

The origin of the myth is a Catholic Bishop from the 6th century. Whether or not any Jews have repeated these silly ideas since then is up for debate. But i see you here, right now, saying some pretty bizarre and absurd things. And your odd behavior can be traced right back to this myth.

No Joseph myth from Genesis + no Catholic Bishop from the 6th century inventing the idea out of thin air = no you in this thread saying absurd things that run counter to our archaeological and anthropological knowledge. And that's a fact.

Good god irosie. The myth of the pyramids as grain storage. Literally the one thing we have spent 2 days swatting down like a fly that won't go away.

6th century myth, and here you are arguing for it, with apparently zero understanding of the origin of the myth or why it is bouncing around your religious circles and blogs. Do you even remember where you picked it up? Because it most certainly was not from any academic text or serious intellectual.

Here are the facts: the pyramids as grain storage is an absurd, bizarre idea that originates from and exists only in the circles of religious apologism. It runs counter to all pf our knowledge and would get you laughed out of a room of archaeologists. Facts.

Is that enough facts for ya?

more stupidity-----you missed my point ENTIRELY which actually referred to FORMS
of architecture. The ORIGINAL burial chambers were called ---by archaeologists----
MASTABAS based on their form which was buildings like rectangular containers. The mastaba---ARCHITECTURALLY morphed in EONS into the Giant Pyramids for the
BIG SHOTs.
HOWEVER----in general, I have no doubt that there is a COMMON WORD that
described all those "building efforts" that somehow gets translated into
PYRAMID. I know that the mastabas of the Old Kingdom are sometimes termed
Pyramids even if their actual FUNCTION back then is undetermined. Egypt was a
"bread basket" They must have stored the grain SOMEWHERE. I don't know what
the old ziggurats were all used for either. ------some banks in my city seem
formed to mimic GREEK TEMPLES----like the Parthenon-----the courthouses too.
Joseph could very wall have existed. Jews have served as VIZIERS in just about every
kingdom in the Levant for MILLENNIA. Ask any muslim who will be happy to ascribe
that situation to ISLAM and its unequaled "toleration" (myth?)

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

-you missed my point ENTIRELY which actually referred to FORMS

No i didnt. It was a stupid point that was easily crushed by surada and deserved no further response.

My interest in this -- and my point that you keep ignoring in favor of tantrums and of repeating yourself -- is that your bizarre diatribe on this has its origins in religious apologism and desperation, all arising from a dishinest and desperate effort to prop up a bit of iron age mythology.

This merely explains your bizarre behavior. It is not meant to be a specific rebuttal to any of your absurd claims. You lost that debate already and don't even realize it.

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.

The Children of Israel worked in Pithom and Rameses, which were muddy and impossible to build on.
I doubt they built the pyramids.
Whoever did knew math and physics that we no longer know.

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."

Could have been Mexicans
Egypt does not have a wall you know

That's why you mock Egypt all day.
