HOW THE EGYPTIANS
BUILT THE PYRAMIDS
Simple Machinery and a Vast
. Number of LaborerS and
: Oxen Employed

p. fIoisting machines were used in both
Assyria and Egypt 5000 or more years
ago. In order to hoist the great stones
:-of the pyramids some form Of derrick
was employed. Probably the first con-
Struction was that which is now known
10: mechanics as the shear legs This
is made Of two great timbers tied to-
gether in the form of a capital A. the
two ends resting on the ground and a
rope being run over and attached at
the top. With one OF these the pyramid
builders could have raised large stones
step by step, which was doubtless their
.netkod
a we can imagine we see the great A
Frame leaning over an incline of per-
maps so degrees with a block of stone
tied on. Then a great crowd of men
get hold OF the rope on the opposite
side; perhaps assisted by some draft
oxen, and All strain and pull until the
frame stands erect and the stone is
swung up into the air. where it can be
pushed into the desired place. Such a
contrivance could be used to lift stones
= six or eight feet, which was sufficient
for the construction Of the first pyra-
mids Doubtless better hosting devices
were constructed as more pyramids
were built
p The men who built these pyramids
. certainly had carts and oxen 70 draw
the stones and derricks to hoist them.
andsthe work, shows no mean engineer
ing skill 1t is surmised that the first
carts grew out OF the use of rollers
made from three trunks. Having found
il a nuisance TO keep replacing the
rollers under heavy objects that had
20 be removed, the idea of a pair Of
wheels was devised.
These were formed by simply cutting
. on two round slices or round sections
: from a round tree and joining them by
q rude axle. The OK was hitched in
front and a big stone was tied so as
TO be half separated by the axle, the
rear end dragging on the ground.
Heavy tree trunks were skidded in
much the same way that the work is
Anow done in modern lumber camps.
The pyramid stones often weighed
several tons and were sometimes drawn
scores OF miles from the quarries. They
were quarried by sinking holes In. the
stone with chisels pounded by mauls.
and row of holes was made and
wedges driven in to split the stone.
Fhe dressing down OF the stones was
done at the pyramid.
Some Of the early pyramids exhibit
traces Of masonry, showing thet the
manufacture and use Of mortar was
then understood. There are also eri-
dences of brickwork as early as $500
B. c. In the Khafra pyramid of this
date a trap door or stone closed the
sarcophagus. having places for handles
and bolts, which, 1t is believed, were
made Of copper, although they had dis
appeared when the modern researches
were made
The men of the pyramid age not only
knew how TO make bricks. tiles and
vessels Of clay, but they had learned
TO fire the clay in such way as ia
vitrify or glaze the surface. rendering
IL more ornamental as well as less por-
ous. This was the beginning or basis
