What does it mean? The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, built around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years until Lincoln Cathedral was completed in 1311 AD. The Great Pyramid consists of an estimated 2.3 million blocks which weigh from 2 to 30 tons each and were transported from nearby quarries. The average weight of a block is about 2.3 metric tons (2.5 short tons). It has been estimated that it would have taken a workforce of 10,000 workers about 20 years to build the Great Pyramid at Giza. The ancient Egyptians cut stone blocks using copper chisels and hammers, which were then hauled up ramps with the help of sledges, ropes, and wooden rollers to the construction site. Once at the top, they were assembled into place by workers using levers and simple machines such as pulleys. In 2016 scientists discovered two previously unknown rooms inside Egypt’s Great Pyramid, one behind a door that had been hidden for over 4500 years using infrared thermography to scan through its thick limestone walls causing no damage to this ancient structure. The tomb of Queen Khentkaus I, the oldest tomb in Giza, was discovered by archaeologists from the University of Memphis in Egypt and Macquarie University in Australia. The tomb is located to the south-west of King Khufu’s Great Pyramid and is believed to date back to around 2580 BC. Queen Khentkaus I was a wife of Pharaoh Neferirkare Kakai (2575–2555 BC) who ruled for 20 years during the Fifth Dynasty and she was also a mother of Pharaohs Neferefre (2558–2532 BC) and Nyuserre Ini (2532–2503 BC). Queen Khentkaus I’s tomb was found behind a hidden door in a 4500 year old limestone wall using infrared thermography. According to Dr Campbell Price, Curator at Manchester Museum, “This discovery is one that has been made through modern technology but it is also one that will have an impact on how we understand ancient Egyptian tombs. It is very rare to find a royal tomb from this period. Russias influence on the US elections 2) 18- 28 min -Russias influence on the US elections via Facebook? - We look at the spend, the motivation and ask the real questions about why it does or doesn't matter. The short answer is that we don't really know. The long answer is a bit more complicated. On the one hand, it is clear that Russia did try to influence the US elections via Facebook. They spent millions of dollars on ads and created thousands of fake accounts. On the other hand, it's not clear how effective their efforts were. It's possible that they didn't have much impact at all. So what does this all mean? It's hard to say for sure. But one thing is certain: we need to be very careful about accepting information from foreign countries, especially when it comes to our elections. JFK
