Pyramids of Queens
...................................
In the east, 56 meters from the pyramid of Khufu, there are three small pyramids of the kingdoms, from north to south:
G I-a to G I-c. Pharaoh Khufu is the first king to create secondary pyramids beside his larger pyramid. Whereas before him Sanfero established a hierarchy of worship and not queens. The slanted pyramid, for example, was a pyramid of worship, and the secondary pyramid next to the Medom pyramid does not know its function specifically.
The royal pyramids were outside the wall surrounding the Great Pyramid and there was no connection between them, neither the funerary temple nor the paved road to the valley temple. They were considered independent from the Great Pyramid and are within the range of the G7000 cemetery field, which also has 8 terraces and are considered tombs of the royal family. It seems that the division of this field follows the extent of the person buried in the king.
The pyramids of the queens are located in the pyramids of Khafra and Menqara south of the pyramid. The scholars are trying to explain the choice of Khufu because the royal pyramids in the east for his pyramid that the place south of the pyramid was busy terraces building the pyramid where the stones of the building dragged by the coming from the east. Therefore, the southern side was designated for the sloping terraces of the stone transport. But the archaeologist is likely to have chosen the location of the royal pyramids on the basis of its association with the G7000 family cemetery.
The three pyramids of the queens; from left to right: G I-a, G I-b and G I-c.
And the ruling on any of the pyramids belongs to the queen or a certain princess is a rough judgment based on the affiliation of the eastern terraces corresponding to each pyramid to the pyramid.
The date of the construction of the royal pyramids is unknown. It is believed that the beginning of its construction was at the conclusion of the first third of the Great Pyramid.
During the 1990s, the Egyptian scientist Zahi Hawass removed rubble from the rules of the royal pyramids and then began the exact measurement of the pyramids for the first time. The pyramids are between 44 meters and 48 meters high. The tilt angle of the pyramids is equal to the angle of the slope of the pyramid of Khufu, resulting in the height of these pyramids between 29 and 5 and 30 meters.
Pyramid G I-a
.........................
The pyramid G I-a is attributed to Queen Hattab, mother of Pharaoh Khufu. It is located on its eastern side, Mesbah, Ibn Khufu Ka and Ab (G 7110-7120), where the remains of a plaque inscribed with the name of Hetep Haras were found. The French researcher "August Merit" was found near the pyramid of Khufu on a painting is now hidden, and I think it is from the platform "Ka and Ab"; As such, the Martites may have been mothers and fathers. If the presence of a relationship between the person buried in the pyramid and the neighboring terraces is believed to belong to the Martites, but that is only a guess, according to the archaeologist "Yanusi". On the basis of the assets and their interpretation, taking into account Graveyard G 7000x dug 27 meters underground, the small pyramid may also belong to the Hetep Guard, which is believed by the German archaeologist "Haas".
The pyramid of Queen Hetepheres (G I-a).
The core of the pyramid is originally composed of three or four terraces above each other of limestone with a yellow structure. Little white stones remained. The entrance in the north face of the pyramid is slightly above the base and a short distance to the east from the center point. The descending path of the entrance deviates from the entrance at the center of the pyramid to the right, where the funerary chamber is located. A room carved in the rocky floor, lined with rectangular stones of limestone. No coffin was
Pyramid G I-b
........................
The G-I pyramid design is very similar to the G-I pyramid design. And traces of the burial of a mummy were found. In the mihrab of this pyramid there were also paintings with fragments of the name of the queen, but whose name is unknown. There is no corresponding platform to help identify the name of its owner. There are two plants facing the three small pyramids.
This is due to the proximity of this small pyramid to the Kaaba and Aba pavement. This pyramid was attributed to the "
Pyramid of Queen G I-b
Pyramid G I-c
.........................
The design of the pyramid G I-c corresponds to the other two hierarchies. Archaeologist Reisner, however, is believed to have been coiled from outside by stones. Most of the difference is seen in his funerary temple: Reisner believes that the temple was built in the era of Shapsikkaf and in a fast manner using brick bricks.
In 1858, Auguste Mariett was found in the ruins of the funerary temple on the plaque of the king's daughter, and is also called the "inventory plate" and is now preserved in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, JE 2091). The name of the daughter of the king, Hanutsen, is mentioned on this painting. But the painting goes into the family era. Although this name was common in the old, it is unknown to one of the princesses or queens of the Khufu era.
The floor under this pyramid was unsuitable, so it was erected near the G-I pyramid to some extent. It also appears that the pyramid G I-c was not originally in the design of the periphery of the Great Pyramid, but was added here later.
The pyramid of queen G I-c
It is believed that this pyramid was built for the "Hanotsen" which is believed to be Umm Khafra, and that it was built in the era of Khafra; this may explain the difference in building the pyramid G I-c for the other two small pyramids.
The funerary temple of this small pyramid was destroyed during the Middle Kingdom, and was rebuilt during the 18th Dynasty as it was expanded and not built during the families of the 21st Egyptian family and the twenty-sixth Egyptian family
This funerary temple was later known as the "Temple of Isis, Lady of the Pyramid". It was a place for the pilgrims who came to him calling Isis and begging them to give them children and children.
