Bent Pyramid
The Sneferu pyramid
is one of the pyramids of Egypt and one of three pyramids built by Pharaoh Sinfero.
Called the pyramid slant where he began to build the pyramid to rise at an angle of 58 degrees, and when the construction of the pyramid almost half height, it decided to build the top at an angle of 43 degrees.
According to the technique, Sinfero and his engineers have built a complete pyramid with new technology in the town of Maidum called the Red Pyramid.
The construction of the sloping pyramid took 14 years, and it seems that he did not like Senefro and decided to build the red pyramid according to the experience learned by his engineers when building the slanting pyramid.
He chose the place for his pyramid, which buried about 2 kilometers north of the sloping pyramid in the town of Dahshur.
When building the sloping pyramid between the pyramid of stones with geostationary angles estimated at 59 degrees.
It is likely that by constructing such a structure, construction began to sink because of the stone loads.
Also, the large nook causes a sharp rise in the pyramid to make it harder to complete and build the upper part of it.
To remedy this problem, engineers built reinforced walls that made the 55-degree slope of construction unfinished. They then completed construction at a curved angle of 43 degrees, making it called the Bent Pyramid.
Thus the technique of building the pyramids discovered by placing horizontal floors of stones.
Each square layer of stone topped with a lower layer in the area with a tilt angle of 52 degrees, rather than a 55 or 43-degree angle, as in the case of the curved pyramid.
This shape became the full shape of the pyramid as we know it today.
The Red Pyramid
The Red Pyramid was built by Pharaoh ” Sinfro “, the father of King Khufu in ” Dahshur ” near Cairo
is the top three main pyramids in Dahshur.
It called red for the red rust layer above its stones, the third largest Egyptian pyramid after the pyramids of Khufu and Khafra, which built in the city of Giza.
The Red Pyramid was built at the highest stone building in the world. Local people call it the “bent pyramid.”
