Before we delve into the question of who could have been the builder of the pyramids, it’s essential to have an understanding of how these pyramids were constructed.
Number 1: The Great Pyramid, also known as the Khufu Pyramid, was constructed using approximately 2.3 million blocks. The smallest blocks weighed as much as a private car, while the largest ones weighed around 40 private cars, ranging from 27,000 kilograms to 70,000 kilograms.
Number 2: The finishing of these blocks or stones couldn’t have been achieved using modern iron cutting machines.
Number 3: Although geometry was discovered around 500 years ago, it was used with utmost precision in the construction of the pyramids. The Khufu Pyramid, along with three other pyramids, aligns with three stars.
Number 4: In ancient times, it’s often observed that the area around the pyramids is extremely hot, but the temperature inside the pyramids remains constant at around 20 degrees Celsius, similar to air conditioning.
Number 5: These pyramids were constructed approximately four to five thousand years ago. Instead of using modern materials like iron, wood, or cement, the construction materials used back then still stand tall today. However, modern iron and cement buildings only last for a maximum of 150 years.
Number 6: When these pyramids were discovered, the average height of humans was only around 10 feet. Even the tallest among them, Pharaoh’s mummy, which is still intact in Egypt, is only 8 feet long. (Let’s assume the tallest was 20 feet). These Khufu Pyramids were equivalent to 42-storey buildings, surpassing even the Eiffel Tower, the tallest structure on Earth for four thousand years.
Number 7: Since the construction of the pyramids, no scientist or individual has been able to determine where the stones used in the pyramids were brought from and how they were transported.
Number 8: Even with modern technology, scientists have made many attempts to enter inside the pyramids. However, as soon as a camera was sent inside and took a few pictures, the camera automatically turned off, and further exploration was prohibited by the government.
Number 9: Despite the pyramids being located in Egypt, they don’t represent the country or its symbol. Yet, in the midst of a one-dollar bill, there’s an image of a pyramid, and atop the head, there’s an eye. Is it indicating something about the builder of the pyramids?
Number 10: In the modern age of information technology, NASA scientists have discovered evidence of extraterrestrial life. However, even with all this advancement, there’s still no substantial evidence behind the construction of the pyramids. Nevertheless, around four thousand years ago, the walls of the ancient pyramids were adorned with paintings of aliens. How did they manage to paint a helicopter and a light bulb on the walls of the pyramids four thousand years ago, when the submarine was discovered only 4000 years later? Think critically and use your intellect to find the answers.
The Egyptian civilization was highly advanced, but they didn’t heed the guidance of Allah Ta’ala, so they perished. We couldn’t even progress a tenth of what they did. It means, we couldn’t even progress one-tenth. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala said:
“And they had denied them (the previous prophets) before, and how (terrible) was My reproach (against them)!” (Surah Saba, 34:45)”
