Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

Going back right through history, Egypt holds amounts of legends and mysteries, which are known to anyone living in todays era. Historians are still effortlessy working hard to find more legends and mysteries, till this day. After finding secrets like the Pyramids and mummies it has only enhanced enthuisastics to keep battling on to find out more of the hidden legends that lie beneath the Egypt land!

It is known that the magnificant structures known as the Pyramids were built by egpytians purposely for the storage of corpses, not just any but that only of dead king and queens.

Before heading into the topic of the facts of the Egyptian Pyramids, it should be pointed out these magnificant structures have stolen the attentions of people from history till this day and from all over the world. These are possibly the best architectural structures known to man!

The Egyptian people believed very strongly that there past kings and queens lived on and after death became known as Osiris, the king of dead. In Egyptian mythology they also believed the dead king to be a god and similarly the young king who would succeed the dead king would become Horus the King of Heavens, therefore every Pharaoh who came into power made sure that pyramids were made so that they have hassle free afterlife. This was the duty of the Pharaohs, hence the Pyramids being built. To add to the above information another interesting act which had caught my attention is that the dead kings who are mummified like every dead corpse are supplied with dolls for guards and servants, it is believed that this aids no problems for the late kings in their afterlife. They were also suppiled regulary with food.

In the beginning it was the tombs that were given the most populairty for the dead kings and queens, and as the duty it was the pharaohs that built them, they were also large in size. Another detail was they would carve a tomb into the bedrock ensuring flat roofs, so different from the Pyramids. There were named "mastabas". To add to the finalising of the structure mounds of dirt were compiled on top with dust, it added shape similar to that of a pyramid, but at the same time was far away from having the right to be named one. The shape orignates from the Pharaohs beliefs that the suns rays helped them to reach heaven, it is the point of the structure which became an interpretated pointed ray of sun, but this is mythological.

Spiritual structure is believed to be that of the centre of any religius structures, for example, churches, temples, mosques and so on. The positive powers all converge and concentrate to the centre of the structure, hence all of the mentioned above having similar structures.

Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

The Pyramid of Abu Sir hold equally remarkable pieces of architecture. Out of fourteen only four remain. They are now open to the tourists not like in past times.

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara was built by King Djoser and it is a modern structure of Egyptian and ancient architecture where the impossible has been achieved without the help of modern technology. This was the first pyramid that was built.

The first wonder of the world which took a time period of approximately three months and around one thousand workers was the wonderful Pyramids of Giza. The 'great' pyramid one of the three was actually known at one time to be the tallest in the world!

The Pyramid of Dahshur is known as an example of the transition that occurred from the "step" style of architecture to the "true" style of architecture. This has also been recently opened, it has since became known as the place of peace, hence only just been opend to tourist it is not so commercialised.

The Pyramid at el-Lahun is yet another example of artistry and common sense as the foundation of this pyramid was not made; it stands on a natural limestone hill. A natural strong foundation and allowing time to be welcomly saved.

The Pyramid of Giza and the 'step' Pyramid are of the more special mentioned, there historical and archaeologial importance are of highest importance and two because of its chronologial importance. Overtime they have been destroyed and slowly remain to be loosing there originality, as stone thieves steal stones damaging the structures, it has taken a great extent of time but weather factors also aid to the destroying of these magnificant structures and history monuments!

Mysteries of the human brain

It is believed that the brain receives information from the outside world, processes it and takes one or other decision. According to specialists the brain can store up to fifteen trillion different data bits.

But there are cases in which part of the human brain is removed - as is the case with fourteen years old Ahad Israfil that in an accident lost some of his most important body.

His life does not differ much from the life of his peers, whose brain is untouched - except that he was in a wheelchair.

But the boy thinks of his age. There is a theory that the mechanism of brain activity leads to workings of something outside the human body.

Thus, just switch your brain that receives signals and transmits them. There are experts who believe that consciousness is not at all connected with the physical brain.

The argument in favor of this is that the brain and every other organ of the human body consists of cells, but they can not think. It occurs that the brain is a device that detects thoughts.

There are many instances in medicine where people are deprived of part of the brain, but after the restore, change is not seen in them.

In 1935 the hospital in St. Vincent New York, a baby is born, which lived twenty-seven days. It slept, cried and ate like all the others. After the sudden death his anatomist nearly faints, because it turned out that the baby's skull was completely empty.

Even the most perfect car can not function without a motor, so obviously our notions of the human brain do not correspond to the truth.

It is not excluded that some of the people on our planet do not have a very human origin and to have something like biorobots, say experts.

Otherwise there is no explanation for cases in which workers lose part of their brain and instead of lying in deep sleep, get up and go alone to the doctor's office.

Of course, such cases can lead to loss of certain abilities such as speech or hearing, but the ability to think is not lost, except in egregious cases.

Letter to God

If you wonder why God does not hear your wishes, then there is already another way to share to your prayers.

A student from Israel has made a website through which all the world can write letters to God.

The male student gives reassurance the electronic prayer will be delivered.

'Once I receive the prayers from the people, I bring them to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and put them between the stones of the Western Wall', explains the student.

'The prayers are confidential and other users can not read them. People of the world may share their most inner feelings and dreams. It is my duty and mission to give the people what I have promised'. Said by another mailman Lord.

Jerusalem is the most holy place for Jews. Everyday millions of tourists from around the world leave pieces of paper with their prayers in the wall for God.

However, keep in mind that prayer is the surest way for God to hear you.

Notice: The Wailing Wall or the so called Western Wall represents the remains of the great Jewish temple, which had stood for close to 500 years. Herod began rebuilding and adding on to the temple in approximately 19 B.C.E., and the total work was not finished until fifty years later. The temple itself was destroyed by the Romans only a few years after its completion in circa 70 C.E.
