Pyramids are one of the four wonders of the world. Whenever the topic of pyramids is mentioned, everyone will definitely think of Egyptian . There are many large and small pyramids near the Nile River in Egypt, the most famous of which is Egyptian Khufu Pyramid . It is said that this pyramid is not only much larger than that of ordinary pyramids, but also contains some curses from thousands of years ago. Those who attempt to enter the pyramids will be taken away by curses.
Of course, today we all know that this so-called curse is actually just nonsense, but the pharaohs in power are worried that their bodies will be trampled by others after death, so they deliberately told such lies, and made the lie spread more and more widely. Then their treasures will be safer and they can always sleep in the pyramids, the tomb. However, in fact, the pyramids in the world not only exist in Egypt, but in addition to Egypt, there are pyramids in China.
This pyramid was not discovered by Chinese locals, but by a foreign air force. Nowadays, due to the ban on air in the world, foreign aircraft cannot enter. However, during World War II, the situation was relatively chaotic at that time, so American pilots came to Xi'an, our country. When passing through Xi'an, they took a huge pyramid through aerial photography. After the photos of this pyramid were sent back to European and American society, it aroused discussion and shock from many scholars.
Because they have always believed that only Egypt has pyramids, and now pyramids have been discovered in China, so they find it very incredible. So is the Chinese pyramid related to Egyptian pyramid ? Later, more and more scholars also conducted investigations, and the final results were actually unrelated. The earliest date of the Chinese pyramids appeared earlier than the Egyptian pyramids, and the scale was larger than that of Egypt, so it was impossible to imitate the Egyptian pyramids. At the same time, the means of transportation at that time were difficult to cross the ocean, and Egypt could not come to China to learn pyramid construction technology.
The pyramid of China in Xi'an is actually not called a pyramid in our country, but it is called an imperial tomb, that is, an emperor tomb. However, they do not have such a word in Europe and the United States, so this thing looks very much like a pyramid, so it is used to be called together with the Egyptian pyramids and is called the Chinese pyramid. If you see a word like the Chinese pyramid for the first time, don't be surprised, because this is normal abroad.
In fact, in terms of construction technology and materials, the Chinese pyramids, or the imperial tombs of China, are too different from the Egyptian pyramids. The material used in the Chinese imperial tombs was soil. At that time, the people in ancient times built a huge pyramid platform, and the last layer was built. The Egyptian side directly used huge stones and piled up one stone after another to form a pyramid. In terms of the difficulty of construction technology, it should be that Egypt is even higher, because there were no cranes in ancient times, so it was very difficult to transport these huge stones to high-rise buildings. The difficulty of building such imperial tombs in China was relatively low, but it took a long time, because it was too slow to build soil layer after layer, and a lot of labor was needed.
So why is it completely different in terms of building materials? Some experts believe that this may be related to a geological condition in China's inland and Egypt. China is located in the eastern part of the Asian continent. The climate is wet and rainy all year round, with trees everywhere, and large areas of forests everywhere. Therefore, the soil quality in the south and east of my country is relatively good. A large number of forest trees can make the soil more soft and sticky.
This is not just the Chinese pyramid. In ancient times, many peasant buildings in China all used acres of brick houses, using fire to grill acres of bricks, and finally made these soils become hard bricks and stones that could not melt when exposed to water. However, the Egyptians were very envious of this kind of acres of brick houses. Although Egypt is a place with soil, the green area is very small, and Egypt has a large desert. The sand in these deserts will flow everywhere along with the Nile River, which leads to the fact that most of Egypt's soil contains sand.
Ordinary sticky and soft soil is definitely suitable for building houses and buildings. However, the soil containing sand is useless and cannot be used at all. Therefore, these Egyptians did not think about the purpose of building huge pyramids. However, in the end, because the local soil was not suitable, there was no way to use huge rocks. This also caused most of the Egyptian workers who built pyramids in ancient times to be killed or injured, because it was too difficult to use manpower in this project. Xi'an was originally a very famous internet celebrity city. In ancient times, it was called Chang'an. Now, with the Xi'an pyramids being raised and popular again, it also attracted many foreign tourists. Perhaps this place will become China's number one tourist destination in the near future.
