This ebook is on sale today,. For those of you who have some basic carpentry skills and want to save some money, you can learn how to build my Deluxe Meditation Pyramid in the Giza, Equilateral, Nubian, or Russian pyramid dimensions. These Blueprints are geared for the average person who is not an expert in carpentry or woodworking, and are filled with over charts, diagrams, and detailed pictures showing you each step in the process towards making your own, custom-built pyramid to any size you choose.
And I use simple language that everyone can understand--not technical terms that can be intimidating or confusing. The only two electrical tools that are required are a drill and a circular saw. If you know how to use a circular saw, then you should be able to make one of these pyramids. Also, for those who are skilled in woodworking, I have a section in my Plans giving concise instructions with detailed diagrams on how to build both styles of pyramids.
You will also need some basic carpentry tools like a tape measure, a speed square, a yardstick, and some clamps. A sander would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. There are also a few specialty items, like this Forstner bit and this digital protractor , that you can get which will greatly improve the accuracy of your cuts. I have scoured the internet to find you the best deals for any specialty items you should get, as well as things like dowel pins and the best wood glue to use and the cheapest place to get them.
These Plans have been recently revised and renovated to make every step as clear and easy as possible. They are now able to be used by people who use both the English and the metric system of measurements. You don't need to be an accomplished woodworker to follow these Plans, and you don't even need to be good at mathematics! The sacred number phi 1. But you don't have to do any calculations at all, as I have charts for helping you to determine the lengths and angles of each piece you need to cut, based on what size pyramid you wish to build.
There are some things that you need to have in order to successfully build one of my pyramids: You have to have a good eye for detail. You have to be patient, and not rush things or cut corners.
My instructions are detailed, and as long as you follow them as closely as possible, you should be able to build one. This stepped mastaba was enlarged towards the East only by some 8 and a half metres stage M3. Again, this enlargement was somewhat lower than the former stage, so that M3 was a rectangular, stepped mastaba, with two steps on the East side and one step on the three others. Before the casing of this East enlargement had been added, the design was, again, changed.
The mastaba of stage M3 was extended by some 3 metres on all sides and was converted into a regular, rectangular mastaba, without any steps. This mastaba became the first step in what was to become the Step-pyramid. At first, three mastaba-like structures were stacked on each other and on the lowest mastaba, resulting in a 4-stepped pyramid of some 40 metres in height stage P1. This structure was largely extended towards the North and the West, and somewhat towards the South and the East.
Two additional steps were then added resulting in the final 6-stepped pyramid stage P2. The pyramid was completed when it was encased entirely in limestone. The substructure of the pyramid too was built in stages and altered to compensate for the increasing size of the superstructure. It consisted basically of a great Central shaft of 7 metres square and 28 metres deep, that gave access to a maze of corridors and rooms.
With its more than 5. Left inset: cutaway of the pyramid. Right inset: plan of the substructure. The Eastern Galleries, in yellow, are not shown in the 3-D drawing. At the bottom of this Central Shaft, a granite vault, measuring 2. Jean-Philippe Lauer, who has spent an entire lifetime examining and restoring this funerary complex, has found evidence that there may have been an earlier vault with walls of alabaster and a pavement of schist or diorite.
Limestone blocks with a decoration of large five-pointed stars, which had been re-used, must originally have formed the roof of the first burial vault. Tools were archaic during the time that the pyramids were built. Conceptually, they were engineered to accomplish the same tasks as today's tools, but the resources available were limited.
The ingenuity of the men of the time, however, is apparent. Something harder than stone was needed to break the stones. Gold and copper were the two available metal alloys at the time.
Gold was too soft to break stone, so copper was used to make chisels and saws to break into the bedrock and cut stones. Copper was also used to make an adze, a piece with a wooden handle used to file and shape the stone. Rudimentary drills were also used; these were comprised of pointed copper with a wooden handle. A piece of wood was attached at the center in the shape of a cross, and it slid back and forth like a bow.
This would spin the copper piece being used as a drill bit. Beneath the step Pyramid, the ancient builders excavated and built an underground structure on a scale previously unknown, quarrying out more than 5.
How this was achieved and the extent to which the builders excavated the massive underground world remains unknown, as some scholars argue that some of the tunnels beneath the pyramid may have been excavated by grave robbers later.
Nonetheless, the massive project of extracting that amount of material from beneath the surface is something that would never again be repeated in any other Egyptian pyramid found to date.
Not even does the Great Pyramid of Giza feature such an extensive and intricate underground world. After all, the Step Pyramid complex and its underground world were a project never-before-seen in History. However, although some elements endured, the original step pyramid was eventually forgotten. It remains perhaps an ever greater mystery why there are no written documents that detail the techniques, means, and tools used by the builders to not only built the revolutionary step pyramid and its adjoining buildings.
Strangely, neither are there any sources or texts that explain using what methods of excavation, what tools, and what techniques the ancient builders managed to excavate such an extensive underground world beneath the pyramid.
An even greater mystery is why no other Pahaoh other than Djoser opted to build such a vast underground complex beneath the pyramid.
