Hello everyone,

First of all I want to thank @galenkp, for this weekend's topic.
Option three: Mystery
If you could find out the answer or solve any mystery on the planet what would it be and why would you like unravel it's secrets.
If I could find the answer or solve a mystery, this question sends me back to the time of the pharaohs and the pyramids of thousands of years ago, we must admit that no other structure on earth contains as many mysteries as the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
Ancient Egypt itself is a mystery whose secrets have yet to be revealed.
But let's not get off the subject of the mystery of the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, the Great Pyramid is believed to have been built between 2550 and 2490 BC and is among the largest in the world, as much as I wanted to know all the details, how many people worked on it, how many years, what technology they used, how they were able to climb the stone blocks that weighed over two tons each.
Although it is so well known and considering all the research done on the pyramid many mysteries related to it have not been solved, especially those inside it.
Apart from what I wrote above, I would like to know the mysteries that if I could unravel I would like to be able to do so, to be able to answer the questions of why each facet of the pyramid is oriented exactly to a cardinal point: North, East, West and South, the pyramid is placed exactly on the 30 degree parallel that divides land and water equally, the diagonals of Cheop's pyramid cross the center of each continent, one side of the base of the pyramid is 365 cubits and almost a quarter, how many days is exactly one year.
Having visited the pyramids I was very interested in how they were formed and hence many unanswered questions.
And the mystery of the art of mummification, if I knew how much could be done today with this secret, my opinion is that it is a secret?
In today's blog we will limit ourselves to pyramids, maybe in the future this will be an equally good topic.
Honestly I was speechless when I arrived near the pyramid and touched the blocks of several tons that were perfect, as if they had been cut by laser, but more important is how the Egyptians managed to build such impressive structures without modern technology.
One of the biggest questions was how these structures were almost perfectly aligned, the sides of the 138.8m pyramid are quite straight and perfectly aligned along the cardinal points, in fact all three pyramids are identical in construction accuracy.
There are many hypotheses about how these pyramids were aligned and built, but nothing exact, the mystery still exists today and I believe it will remain buried with their creators.
It is not for nothing that the Great Pyramid is one of the seven wonders of the world.
How good it would be if we could unravel the mystery of the pyramids specially built for the afterlife of the pharaohs and their families (it was believed by the ancient Egyptians that the pyramids were safe entrances to the afterlife, after death), to discover if the curse of the pharaohs protected the pyramids over thousands of years.
Talking about the curse of the pharaohs to protect the pyramids, in the desire to discover and reach the pharaoh's chamber, many archaeologists have been trapped inside or died trying to do so.
And now comes the part about knowing their mystery, that would be a totally amazing thing, given the technology that humans had in that period of their mastery, all combined with today's technology, where would we end up, I'm already thinking of other questions, that's not good:).
And I repeat if I could solve one mystery on this planet it would be one, to be able to know how those people made those impressive structures thousands of years ago.
Take my word for it and I recommend with the utmost sincerity to visit Egypt and all these historical areas at least once in your life.
