On October 11, 1939, Alexander Sachs, Wall Street economist and longtime friend and unofficial advisor to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, met with the President to discuss a letter written by Albert Einstein the previous August. Einstein had written to inform Roosevelt that recent research on chain reactions utilizing uranium made it probable that large amounts of power could be produced by a chain reaction and that, by harnessing this power, the construction of "extremely powerful bombs..." 1 was conceivable. Einstein believed the German government was actively supporting research in this area and urged the United States government to do likewise. Sachs read from a cover letter he had prepared and briefed Roosevelt on the main points contained in Einstein's letter. Initially the President was noncommittal and expressed concern over locating the necessary funds, but at a second meeting over breakfast the next morning Roosevelt became convinced of the value of exploring atomic energy.
The Great Pyramid of Egypt located in Giza is the largest pyramid in the world. It is also included in the list of the Seven Wonders of the World. Pyramids were builts by slaves for their pharaohs or kings. Royalties were mummified when dead and buried with their treasures. It was believed that when pharaohs die, part of their spirit remain in their bodies. Hence, pyramids were built to take care of the spirit.
