2 Mysteries From Ancient Egypt

2.Mysteries From Ancient Egypt We Still Can't Figure Out.


The Ancient Egyptians ruled a significant chunk of the world foralmost 3,000 years, and left behind a rich legacy of art, architecture and mythology. But Ancient Egypt also left behind a few mysteries that archeologists and scholars still haven't been able to solve, even thousands of years later. Here are some of the enduring mysteries of Ancient Egypt

1. How were the pyramids built?


Ancient Egypt's massive pyramids are
another element of their legacy that has long puzzled the experts. Just how, exactly, did a society with no modern construction equipment manage to transport the giant, heavy stones needed to build the enormous pyramids? According to recent research by physicists at the University of Amsterdam, part of the answer may be wet sand.An ancient wall painting also seems to depict Egyptians wetting the sand as they pulled a sledge bearing a giant statue, offering more evidence that water may have been part of the arduous and complicated process of building the ancient pyramids.

2.How did King Tut die?


The young King Tutankhamun has fascinated historians since his tomb was discovered in 1922, but the specifics of his life — and death at the age of 19 — remain somewhat of a mystery. A longstanding theory that he died in a chariot crash was seemingly debunked when scans of his mummified body revealed that he had a "partially clubbed foot" that would have made it impossible for him to stand on his own, reported the Independent in 2014.
The new research also revealed, through genetic analysis, that Tutankhamun's parents were likely brother and sister, and he may have died "as a result of genetic impairments."

MY CARRING ELDER BROTHER

By Anonymous
You gave no one a last farewell,  nor ever said good bye. You were gone before we knew it,  and only god knows why, A million times I will cry,  It love alone could have saved you, You never would have died, In life we lived you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one else can fill, It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone,  for part of us went with you, The day god  you home, We will meet again someday, I know in a better place, I thank God he made my brother…

What Would Happen if We Became Extinct Right Now

By
What Would Happen if We Became Extinct Right Now Humans have inhabited Earth for roughly a couple of million years now. If we think about our planet as a living being, then one day it can just get rid of humanity like an annoying guest. Here at  Bright Side  we are not going to talk about “how,“ ”why," or “when” that might happen. But what exactly would happen if we all vanished in the blink of an eye? The first seconds after human extinction It would all start with transportation crashing down: trains, buses, and cars would continue until they hit something, and it would all look like that memorable picture of the morning when Sweden switched from  driving on the left side of the road to the right . Except for all the people, of course. It will be dark. Very dark. As the minutes p...
