         The Great Pyramid was very well constructed


While the Ancient Egyptians built many pyramids, not all have survived intact to the current day. However, examples like the Great Pyramid and the other pyramids at Giza have. Why?



One reason is that the Egyptians got better at building pyramids over time. Some researchers think that the Egyptians hadn’t been able to cut the stones accurately enough to make the joints of earlier pyramids really tight. Over time, moisture got into the joints, and this expanded and contracted as the weather changed - pushing the stones apart, ultimately leading to erosion over time. 

The Great Pyramid was also built using granite, which tends not to soak up water. Craftsman also learned how to make tight joints in the casing covering the pyramid, meaning the pyramid could shed water instead of absorbing it, ultimately preserving it.

The 1920s were the wild years. The time of restless youth. The catchy and popular jazz music was controversial. In the US, it was associated with the ‘lost generation’ – young people who grew up in the aftermath of the First World War. Above all, it was a symbol of multicultural society, which had many gloomy critics. “Negro music” was the racist epithet that jazz received. The Norwegian economy professor Knud A. Wieth-Knudsen called it “one of the many future degenerations”. Jazz testified that man was on his way back to the animal stage of evolution, he said.
