O cilju

Najstarejši od čudes in, zanimivo, edini, ki je do nas prišel, je monumentalni kompleks piramid v Gizi v Egiptu. Vsi smo že slišali zanje in poznamo njihov videz, prav tako vemo, da so bile grobnice faraonov. Ampak približajmo se in odkrijmo nekaj zanimivih podrobnosti. Egipčani so začeli graditi piramide pred dolgim časom, skozi celotno svoje Staro kraljestvo: Najstarejše so stare približno PET TISOČ let! Pravzaprav je najstarejša znana stopničasta piramida v Sakari, grobnica faraona Djosra, ki izvira iz leta 2750 pr. n. št. Arhitekt izumitelj piramide je bil veliki vezir in slavni modrec, Inhotep. Po tem prvem primeru so Egipčani nadaljevali z gradnjo piramid vse do Srednjega kraljestva, kjer so namesto piramid uporabljali podzemne grobnice. Kljub temu nam je iz starega kraljestva ostalo kar osemdeset teh, razporejenih po Spodnjem Egiptu. Zdaj si predstavljajmo, da smo prisotni v pogrebni suiti faraona Khufuja. Lahka ladja nas prevaža po Nilu iz stare prestolnice, Memfisa, do nekropole njenih predmestij, na obsežni ravnici Gize. Tam so pogrebne zgradbe v izobilju, saj je to pokopališče, kamor gredo vsi prebivalci prestolnice, plemiči ali zlikovci. Naša ladja se ustavi: skupina duhovnikov nas čaka na obali. Zadaj čaka tempelj, posebej zgrajen za našega faraona, kjer bo častil kot bog (ali ni božanske narave?). Tu se faraonovo telo primerno pripravi in vstavi v sarkofag. Nato delegacija s pogrebno potjo odpelje do njegovega groba. Že vidimo piramide. Njihova impresivna gmota izstopa nad obzorjem ravnice in nas pusti odprtih ust. Vse to je kamen! Neobičajno težki bloki granita, visoki en meter, tvorijo vrstice tako tesno, da mednje ni mogoče vstaviti noža. Vrstice kamnov so pobarvane, tvorijo pasove različnih barv; Konica je zlata. Vse piramide, popolnoma vse, imajo enako usmerjenost: usmerjene so proti severu z popolno natančnostjo. Stranice piramide imajo impresiven naklon 51 stopinj, ki, ko se približamo, dobimo občutek, da piramida "pade" na nas. V okolici so manjše piramide in (pravokotne zgradbe z nagnjenimi stenami) za visoke uradnike.
