How to move the stone pyramids of Egypt?

This time I tell you all how the egyptians move stones in the days of the ancient Egyptian pyramids

The people of ancient Egypt through the desert to move thousands of large stone blocks, it uses water to facilitate its work, a recent study concluded.

Physicists from the University of Amsterdam to investigate the strength needed to pull heavy objects on a giant sled in the desert.

And the results of their investigation concluded, the ancient Egyptians were wetting the sand with water, thereby reducing the friction between the tool to draw primitive rocks beneath it with sand, making it easier to operate.

As reported by the site LiveScience , these latest findings help answer one of history's most enduring mysteries: how the ancient Egyptians were able to complete the construction of the pyramid that seemed impossible.

In this study, the expert guidance of a wall painting found on the site Djehutihotep ancient tomb, which was built in the year 1,900 BC (BCE).

The picture depicts 172 men transporting a large sculpture using a rope attached to a sled.

In one picture, seen someone standing at the front of the sled, was pouring water on sand, said study leader Daniel Bonn, a professor of physics at the University of Amsterdam.

'Similar build sand castles'

"Experts say the ancient Egyptians, the removal of the giant stone blocks were merely ceremonial side," said Bonn told Live Science. "The question then is: why do they do that?"

Bonn and his colleagues conducted an experiment by pulling heavy objects through the sand.

When researchers dragging stone blocks on top of dry sand, they saw clumps of sand in front of the tool pullers, thus requiring extra energy to pull it.

Researchers found indications of water usage by examining an ancient tomb in Egypt.

Then they add water to the sand, and the beam was able to glide more easily across the surface.

This happens, because the water droplets into a kind of bridge between the sand grains, say scientists.

"It's like building a sand castle that is easier to use than using wet sand dry sand," said Bonn.

This study, which was published on 29 April 2014 in the journal Physical Review Letters , could explain how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.
