Fascinating TED Ed Video Dives Into How The Great Pyramid of Giza Was Built
I’ve always been fascinated by the great pyramids in Egypt, especially by how those things were actually built! There are so many different theories out there about how they were erected, and one of the most popular is that it was aliens! But, there certainly are other ways these pyramids could have been built and a new TED Ed video dives into how the great pyramid of Giza was built and it’s absolutely fascinating!
The video came with the following note:
As soon as Pharaoh Khufu ascended the throne circa 2575 BCE, work on his eternal resting place began. The structure’s architect, Hemiunu, determined he would need 20 years to finish the royal tomb. But what he could not predict was that this monument would remain the world’s tallest manmade structure for over 3,800 years. Soraya Field Fiorio digs into the construction of the Great Pyramid.
