Egypt: The Pyramids | got 'Tourist' scammed
A pyramid is a structure or monument, usually with a quadrilateral base, which rises to a triangular point. In the popular imagination, pyramids are the three lonely structures on the Giza plateau at the edge of the Sahara Desert but there are over seventy pyramids in Egypt stretching down the Nile River Valley and, in their time, they were the centers of great temple complexes. Although largely associated exclusively with Egypt, the pyramid shape was first used in ancient Mesopotamia in the mud-brick structures known as ziggurats, and continued to be used by the Greeks and Romans. Pyramids are also found south of Egypt in the Nubian kingdom of Meroe, in the cities of the Maya throughout Central and South America, and, in a variation on the form, in China.
The Revelation Of The Pyramids takes an indepth look into one of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Mystery has surrounded these fascinating structures for centuries with theories varying from the scientific to the bizarre. However with over many years of indepth research taking in the world’s oldest, most enigmatic and beautiful sites from China to Peru, from Egypt to Mexico, a team of independent researchers has, at last, managed first to understand and then to reveal what lies behind this greatest of archaeological mysteries: a message of paramount importance for all mankind, through time and space. A great odyssey along a breathtaking route rich in staggering imagery, an extraordinary scientific leap and finally a revelation as unexpected as it is spectacular... Are you ready to change your vision of the past? For centuries, the Great Pyramids have fascinated, perplexed and inspired Mankind. Precisely constructed, earthquake-proof and built in just 20 years using primitive tools, they are an engineering feat of almost incomprehensible scale. In the absence of any written records, scientists and historians have endlessly theorised their creation. The groundbreaking film The Revelation of the Pyramids goes beyond the theories to reveal what lies behind the greatest of archaeological mysteries. From China to Peru, from Egypt to Mexico, through the world's most enigmatic and beautiful sites including the Pyramids, Easter Island and Machu Picchu, filmmaker Patrice Pooyard spent six years travelling the world, meeting eminent archeologists, engineers, architects, geologists and other scientists and verifying their discoveries. The result will shake the teaching of history to its very core, and revolutionize Egyptology entirely. A great odyssey along a breathtaking route culminates in a revelation as unexpected as it is staggering.
