Who did most of the work on Pyramids

1 answer:

4 0

The PYRAMIDS AND THE GREAT SPHINX rise inexplicably from the desert at Giza, relics of a vanished culture. They dwarf the approaching sprawl of modern Cairo, a city of 16 million. The largest pyramid, built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2530 B.C. and intended to last an eternity, was until early in the twentieth century the biggest building on the planet. To raise it, laborers moved into position six and a half million tons of stone—some in blocks as large as nine tons—with nothing but wood and rope. During the last 4,500 years, the pyramids have drawn every kind of admiration and interest, ranging in ancient times from religious worship to grave robbery, and, in the modern era, from New-Age claims for healing "pyramid power" to pseudoscientific searches by "fantastic archaeologists" seeking hidden chambers or signs of alien visitations to Earth. As feats of engineering or testaments to the decades-long labor of tens of thousands, they have awed even the most sober observers.

On a North American continent controlled by American Indians, contact among the peoples of Europe,the Americas, and West Africa

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Here we just have some sentences and considerations, but there is no question at all. It seems you forgot to include the question.

It is true all the things you attach, but what do you want to know?

If we can help to add some comments, these would be:

Yes, native populations in North America developed a wide variety of social, political, and economic structures based in part on interactions with the environment and each other. But everything changed with the arrival of the white European colonists. They had a completely different vision of life, society, business, and culture.

This encounter was difficult and the Native American Indians tribes got the worst part.

White Europeans came to the Americans to start a new life and make a profit. Some others were being persecuted by the church because of religious differences, and in the Americas, found a new place to practice their religious values.

But most Europeans wanted to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources found in the Americas. That is why they wanted more and more land, to make a profit.

The vision of the Indian tribes was completely different. They saw nature as a "mother" and truly respect her as so. That is why they created songs, chants, and dances, to honor mother nature.
