Pyramid Facts
The Egyptian pyramids were built with so much care and precision that even our best modern tools can’t make something like them. It is thought that the Great Pyramid has about 2.3 million stone blocks that, depending on their size, weigh between 2 and 30 pounds each. People say that the base stones weigh about 50 tons. The base of the pyramid is almost 55,000 square meters, and each of its sides is more than 20,000 square meters.
Ka Ba Akh Ancient Egypt
Egyptian Ka, Ba, and Akh represented different facets of the soul’s existence in the afterlife journey. The Ka needed sustenance to continue its existence in the tomb; the Ba was the aspect of the soul that could move freely and interact with the living; and the Akh was the ultimate goal of the soul’s transformation, leading to eternal life among the gods. Proper burial practices and funerary rituals were crucial to ensuring the well-being of these soul aspects and securing a favorable outcome in the afterlife for the deceased.
Ancient Nalanda University
Nalanda University was one of the world’s first residential universities and a prominent center for learning and intellectual pursuits in ancient times. Its origins can be traced back to the Gupta period, around the 5th century CE, although it reached its zenith during the reign of the Palas in the 9th to 12th centuries. Founded by King Kumaragupta of the Gupta dynasty, Nalanda emerged as a renowned seat of learning, attracting scholars, students, and teachers from various parts of the world. It flourished as a Buddhist center of education and played a pivotal role in the development and dissemination of knowledge in fields such as philosophy, theology, logic, medicine, astronomy, and linguistics. The decline of Nalanda University began in the 12th century, with factors such as the Turkish invasions led by Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1193. The invading forces set fire to the university, destroying its magnificent structures and invaluable manuscripts.
