Mysterious of Giza Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza also called The Khufu’s Pyramid is the largest and oldest Pyramids in Giza Necropolis now known as Cairo, Egypt and also one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed that that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the Egyptian King Khufu and constructed over a period of 20 years. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

Originally the Great Pyramid was covered with casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, and what is is seen today is the underlying structure. We can still see the casing stones that covered the Pyramid, on the base of the structure. There have been many scientific theories regarding the construction of the pyramid or how it was built, one such theory is – by moving huge stones from quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

The placement of the Pyramid is astonishing, the Pyramid lies in the exact center of all land area of the world, dividing the earth’s land mass into equal quarters. The north – south axis 31 degree east of Greenwich is the longest land meridian, and the east – west axis 30 degree north is the longest land parallel on the globe and only one place that these longest land lines of the earth can cross, and it is at the Great Pyramid!

About the construction, the block of stones used for building this great monument weighed an average of 2 – 2.5 tons and total number stones used were 2,300,000 blocks of limestone and granite. The larger blocks are used in the ceiling of the King’s Chamber which weighs around 9tons. The majority of the outer casing, which was polished limestone, was removed about 600 years ago to help build cities and mosques which created a rough, worn, and step-like appearance.

The interior of The Great Pyramid is also a mystery; it is the only known Pyramid to contain both ascending and descending passages. There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. These are arranged centrally, on the vertical axis of the pyramid. From the entrance, an 18 meter corridor leads down and splits in two directions. One way leads to the lowest and unfinished chamber. This chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built. It is the largest of the three, but totally unfinished, only rough-cut into the rock. The other passage leads to the Grand Gallery, where it splits again. One tunnel leads to the Queen's Chamber, a misnomer, while the other winds to intersect with the descending corridor. The Grand Gallery itself features a corbel haloed design and several cut "sockets" spaced at regular intervals along the length of each side of its raised base with a "trench" running along its center length at floor level. What purpose these sockets served is unknown. An antechamber leads from the Grand Gallery to the King's Chamber.

There are many remarkable points found in the dimensions of the pyramid. One of the first items discovered about the pyramid is that it is aligned with the four points of the compass. This means that its four sides point toward true East, West, North, and South. The error from true north is about 1/12 of a degree and what is even more astounding is that this orientation was done without a compass, which was not invented until the 1500 years after the Messiah's birth. Now you may wonder if the perfect aligning to the four points of the compass was a coincidence or was this purposed and planned in the design. Some believe that the pyramid was built about 4000 years before the birth of the Messiah.

For the Great Pyramid to be perfectly aligned with the four cardinal points on the compass means that the builder either had some way of determining directions or that neither the Egyptians nor any human designed it. Other dimensions of the Great Pyramid show that it was literally impossible for Egyptians or any other humans to have designed or built it. The Great Pyramid is one of the heaviest structures on earth and could not be built anywhere. The architect had to pick a site that could withstand the weight of the Great Pyramid. How this knowledge was obtained no one knows. In short, the builders of the Great Pyramid had to be some of the best world geologists to be able to pick the site. The Great Pyramid is located in the center of all the landmasses (see diagram on p. 31). Many pyramidologists believe that the meridian line running north and south on the globe passing through the Pyramid (31 degree East of Greenwich) should be the zero line of the whole world. By drawing a horizontal line through the pyramid one can see the pyramid is the center of the landmasses. Again one sees that the architect of the Pyramid had to know the location in advance and it has only been in the last 100 years that men have had these capabilities.

The mysterious of the Pyramid are far more interesting and astounding than we have ever imagined, and this whole topic could not be explained or discussed in this document. The more we get into the mystery, we see the Pyramid in a way that we never imagined before. And unlocking the greatest mystery of “Who and Why was the Great Pyramid built?”

With more powerful GPU and loads of Storage Space, BlueRay version 3.0 compatible and many more features. And the long awaited Backward Compatibility with all previous Playstation Consoles, this definitely brings smile to all the gamersb faces.

It was as usual gamers all around the E3 Expo 2009, and many new game titles offered by the biggest industries, but the announcement made by one of the biggest Electronic Entertainment company Sony, was all that caught ears and eyes of all gamers, that Playstation 4 will be launched within the end of this month. And, fans were all filled with cheers that after many months of false rumors now its reality.

What is the difference between print & web?

Print and Web differ from each other because of their presentation to a different kind of readers. While the Print gives you detailed news about headlines, like most the newspapers do. Web also provides information about the headlines, but not really in full detail as a newspaper. For a better understanding, we are going to compare an article which is published both in Web and Print.

The article is about “Window Washers rescued by firefighters”, and the sites that we going to compare with this article are,
For Web: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/08/report_window_w.html

For Print: http://www.theage.com.au/world/window-washers-rescued-from-37th-floor-20090806-ead8.html

The article’s title is same but the information published is more the authors point of view and not public opinion so the information is kind of a story and lacks reality in it. Most of the people tend to read it get bored. But the information provided in boston.com is much more dramatically explained, with every detail that happened from the beginning, like what time they got into the platform and what they were doing and what happened. Each and every single detail is expressed in this web based news site. This makes readers more alluring than the lame newspaper. And all the news published is info given by the people who were present at the time of the incident. And another advantage of online news websites are, that we can leave comments or publish it on are blog, and see different points of view of people around the world. This can’t happen in a printed media. And the news published in a printed media is always restricted to small part because of space that is provided for that particular article. So, we may sometimes not understand or know the events exactly as they happened.

Many of the internet sites for news have streaming video or animation of the article or incident that they publish. This makes most of the people attracted to the internet rather than newspaper. If any events happen it is updated to the website within the next 20 – 30 mins, but this is not possible with newspaper. And the most important fact that most of the people stick on to the internet rather than newspaper is that because “it’s free”.

Are blondes ‘stupid’ or not?

This topic has been going on since the day of Marlin Monroe, whether Blondes are stupid or not. I have heard and read many topics and blog catalogs on this topic. And every time I end up with the result that they are dumb and stupid. But, I think this topic has become so controversial, because most of the celebrities are blonde. And they never completed there schooling because they don’t focus on studies much, because they always had job ready like modeling or acting. And if you have seen, many horror movies the first one to die are blondes.

There is a famous why blondes are stupid joke:
80,000 blondes where gathered for a "Blondes Are Not Stupid" convention. The leader says, "We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?"

A blonde works her way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

The leader asks her, "What is 15 plus 15?" After 15 or 20 seconds she says, "18!" Obviously, everyone is a little disappointed. Then, 80,000 blondes start cheering, "Give her another chance! Give her another chance!" The leader says, "Well, since we've gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you in one place and we have the world-wide press and global broadcast media here, gee, uh, I guess we can give her another chance."

So he asks, "What is 5 plus 5?" After nearly 30 seconds she eventually says, "90?" The leader is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh. Everyone is disheartened. The blonde starts crying and the 80,000 girls begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, "Give her another chance! Give her another chance!"

The leader, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than good, eventually says, "OK! OK! Just one more chance. What is 2 plus 2?" The girl closes her eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, "4?". Throughout the stadium, pandemonium breaks out as all 80,000 girls jump to their feet, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream ... Give her another chance! Give her another chance!

There are many pranks like these all over the internet, but are they really stupid. But I think why people refer them as stupid’s, is because they are mostly successful in their life and career (most of them). And most men prefer blonde over brunette, so the thing is that people are jealous of their success. And they want to make them dumb, but whatever the people comment on them they don’t mind it, and they keep moving forward. They may do stupid things we all do it’s not specific, that they do more dazed things and others don’t. I conclude that they are not stupid, and they have right to be thickheaded.
