   Extractions: Deep within the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala and extending into the limestone shelf of the Yucatan peninsula lie the mysterious temples and pyramids of the Maya. While Europe was still in the midst of the Dark Ages, these amazing people had mapped the heavens, evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were masters of mathematics. They invented the calendars we use today. Without metal tools, beasts of burden or even the wheel they were able to construct vast cities across a huge jungle landscape with an amazing degree of architectural perfection and variety. Their legacy in stone, which has survived in a spectacular fashion at places such as Palenque, Tikal, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Copan and Uxmal, lives on as do the seven million descendants of the classic Maya civilization. The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatan around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples.

Beginning with the step pyramids of the 3rd Dynasty , and continuing for centuries, the pyramid is a marvel of construction, and is considered one of the "Seven wonders of the world." The pyramids are the only of these seven that remain standing and intact. The Step Pyramid

Most date from the Old Kingdom (c.2686-2181 BC) and are found on the west bank of the Nile, in a region approximately 100 km long and situated south of the delta, between Hawara and Abu Ruwaysh. Pyramids developed from the "mastaba", a low, rectangular stone structure erected over a tomb. HOW TO NAVIGATE: Step Pyramid Medum Bent Pyramid Red Pyramid ... Khafre The oldest pyramid known, the Step Pyramid of King Zoser at Saqqara (c.2650 BC), has a large mastaba (tomb) as its nucleus and consists of six terraces of diminishing sizes, one built upon the other. It was surrounded by an elaborate complex of buildings, now partially restored, whose function related to the cult of the dead.

   Extractions: in the Souk of the great and ancient city of Alexandria, in one of the less-visited parts, away from the dealers in valuable carpets and finest spices, is the little shop of the trader Ali Wassaf. Ali is a poor trader - he does not bargain properly and he does not know how to buy effectively. To the right, just inside the shabby entrance to his shop, is a tray with a mound of little pyramids. Manufactured of thin plastic, they tend to split along the seam. They are hollow and do not even have a base. It is necessary to step outside the shop with one of these and, using the magnifying glass that all visiting archaeologists will carry, turn the little pyramid upside down. Inside, barely distinguishable from the other blemishes on the inside of the plastic, is a message. Once deciphered, it reads "made in Taiwan".

   Extractions: Pyramids T he spectacular pyramids that have made Egypt so famous are truly one of the world's greatest architectural wonders. One of the oldest mysteries surrounding ancient Egypt concerns the building of the pyramids. How did humans move such massive blocks of stone using only Stone Age tools? The Egyptians left thousands of illustrations depicting daily life in the Old Kingdom. Curiously enough, none of them show how pyramids were built. A pyramid is a tomb, a four-sided stone structure that symbolizes the sacred mountain, humanity’s universal striving to reach the heavens. The ancient belief in raising the human spirit towards the gods is the quintessential purpose behind the construction of pyramids. Even today, pyramids are metaphors for humanity’s search for higher consciousness. T he IMAX film Mysteries of Egypt features the pyramids at Giza , just west of Cairo. They are surrounded by smaller pyramids

    Extractions: ANCIENT GREEK PYRAMIDS Introduction List of Other Pyramids INTRODUCTION T he existence of pyramids in Greece was unknown to most people until recently, and even today not much is known about them. For example, the Pyramid of Hellenikon , near Argos , is older than the Pyramids of Egypt. In fact, Pausanias (in Graeciae Descriptio) claims that this pyramid was a memorial in remembrance of the first battle fought by soldiers bearing shields Pyramids in Greece are usually smaller than the ones found in Egypt (exceptions are a few sculpted pyramids ) and they are in a rather poor state There is no clear evidence as to the use of pyramids in antiquity. Archeologists believe that they are memorials or observation-communication towers (phryctoriums). Only for the pyramid at Helenikon there is a reference by Pausanias for its probable purpose Most Greek pyramids have not been studied yet, with the exception of the pyramids at Hellenikon and Ligourion which were dated and studied by Dr I. Lyritzis of the Academy of Athens In this section we also present some sculpted pyramids about which there is some controversy as to whether they are man made or natural occurrences . We think that this matter should be further investigated because, for example, visitors at the
