Revealed the mystery of building the greatest pyramids of Egypt
Release date: 2017/9/24 8:44 • 837 times read
{International:
Euphrates News} The Mail On Sunday newspaper published a report on the discovery
of archaeologists of the secrets of the construction of the Great Pyramid in
Giza, one of the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world that are still
before us.
The report says scientists have
found clear evidence showing how the ancient pharaohs transported large stones
about one and a half tons of limestone and flint from places about 500 miles
from the tomb of pharaoh Khufu in 2600 BC.
The author of the report, Claudia Joseph, says the discovery of an ancient papyrus revealed much about how to build the 481-foot-tall pyramid, the largest of the pyramids, which until the Middle Ages remained the largest man-made structure on Earth.
The papyrus reveals the infrastructure used by the builders of the pyramids using a network of water channels that flowed from the Nile to the site of the pyramid, where there are private boats to transport the stones.
The author of the report says that the detailed archaeological material shows us that thousands of trained workers transported 170 thousand tons of limestone through the Nile by wooden boats linked to each other by ropes, and then went on a network of channels reached the base of the pyramid.
Archaeologist Mark Lehner, one of the most prominent experts in the field, found evidence of a watercourse under the Giza plateau. "We have identified the main canal basin, which we believe was the primary delivery area on the Giza plateau," she said.
According to the report, the papyrus discovered in Wadi al-Jarf includes a diary written by one of the supervisors of a team of some 40 professional workers involved in building the pyramid and tells how the stones were moved from the area of Tora to Giza.
The diary describes how the team participated in the construction of huge dams to divert the Nile water channel towards the channel that was cut to the construction site of the pyramid.
The report notes that it was long known that the flint stones used in the internal construction of the pyramid were brought from Aswan 533 miles away from Giza and limestone from the area of Tora, 8 miles away, but archaeologists were still disagreeing on how to transfer them.
The report shows that the footage was filmed in a documentary film on Sunday in the fourth British television channel

his hurricane deductible of nearly $6,000 . His car insurer initially denied his

Chronicles
Well, another Saturday night is upon us… is it coming and going? At this point we don't know.
There was no Church Bank call tonight because we were asked not to go on the air.
There is no advanced intel tonight because we were asked to put any out. Especially about Trump, Mueller, North Korea, Israel or Kurdistan.
There is however USN replacing USD… that we can assure everyone happened as of 12:01am EDT. Hallelujah!
As such, we're waiting to release the website until we know when the RV release will be forthcoming.
We're just not sure how or when they're going to roll it out today, Sunday.
The RV could come literally at any second Sunday. Anytime.
That is the problem, we have several windows to choose from. Who knows which one is accurate.
And since we're in truth a post RV website at heart, it only makes sense for us to wait a little longer and aspire to release the Human Angel Services post RV… www.humanangelservices.com.
We currently have 55,000 sign ups and will be over 60,000 at this rate before October 1, 2017. Again, thank you for your overwhelming support in rounding up all the Human Angels. It's truly been a humbling experience for Showme and I to watch all of you Human Angels answer the Clarion Call.
Amazing.
We thought we have another week just to put everything we wanted into the site, but the dates keep getting moved up, and up given all the good news that's been coming in from everywhere. So we are playing a wait n'see game until something breaks on Sunday.
And if there's nothing solid by the end of the day, Sunday, we will release the site pre-RV. Not our first choice FYI.
The USN's worldwide must start trading on Sunday… must… or else the USA and a hundred other nations won't have any liquidity come September 30, 2017. Literally, there will be no funds because the USD is now dead, dead, dead. And they need a week on currency trading platforms staring Sunday night in Asia to generate US 2018 fiscal year gold backed cash (USN)… as technically there is none until we RV.
So…
That said if there is an official release, we'll just send out a Tetelestai alert and perhaps maybe even take another week to release come October 1st because it'll take a week just to pull everyone's head out of the clouds and get back to the business of "healing the soul of the world."
I would pay to see Martha do a back flip and stick the landing.
These are all good problems to have by the way. Nonetheless… we are going to wait it out one more day due to wonderful circumstances.
So hang in their currency world. The rates are climbing and the reality of this nightmare is finally ending.
Believe, don't believe… blah, blah, blah…
God is with us.
Well, another Saturday night is upon us… is it coming and going? At this point we don't know.
There was no Church Bank call tonight because we were asked not to go on the air.
There is no advanced intel tonight because we were asked to put any out. Especially about Trump, Mueller, North Korea, Israel or Kurdistan.
There is however USN replacing USD… that we can assure everyone happened as of 12:01am EDT. Hallelujah!
As such, we're waiting to release the website until we know when the RV release will be forthcoming.
We're just not sure how or when they're going to roll it out today, Sunday.
The RV could come literally at any second Sunday. Anytime.
That is the problem, we have several windows to choose from. Who knows which one is accurate.
And since we're in truth a post RV website at heart, it only makes sense for us to wait a little longer and aspire to release the Human Angel Services post RV… www.humanangelservices.com.
We currently have 55,000 sign ups and will be over 60,000 at this rate before October 1, 2017. Again, thank you for your overwhelming support in rounding up all the Human Angels. It's truly been a humbling experience for Showme and I to watch all of you Human Angels answer the Clarion Call.
Amazing.
We thought we have another week just to put everything we wanted into the site, but the dates keep getting moved up, and up given all the good news that's been coming in from everywhere. So we are playing a wait n'see game until something breaks on Sunday.
And if there's nothing solid by the end of the day, Sunday, we will release the site pre-RV. Not our first choice FYI.
The USN's worldwide must start trading on Sunday… must… or else the USA and a hundred other nations won't have any liquidity come September 30, 2017. Literally, there will be no funds because the USD is now dead, dead, dead. And they need a week on currency trading platforms staring Sunday night in Asia to generate US 2018 fiscal year gold backed cash (USN)… as technically there is none until we RV.
So…
That said if there is an official release, we'll just send out a Tetelestai alert and perhaps maybe even take another week to release come October 1st because it'll take a week just to pull everyone's head out of the clouds and get back to the business of "healing the soul of the world."
I would pay to see Martha do a back flip and stick the landing.
These are all good problems to have by the way. Nonetheless… we are going to wait it out one more day due to wonderful circumstances.
So hang in their currency world. The rates are climbing and the reality of this nightmare is finally ending.
Believe, don't believe… blah, blah, blah…
God is with us.

The text of the speech of the Prime Minister Dr. Haider Abadi
to the Iraqi people
24 September 2017
In the name of of Allah the Merciful
O sons of our Iraqi people
From north to south and from east to west
And from its ease to the mountains and its rivers and plateau
and deserts ..
Peace be upon you .. wherever you are
In these moments when the Sons of Iraq spare their lives and
their pure blood in defense of Mesopotamia and the unity of the
country.
In the days of the intensification of the war on terrorism and
with the approach of the final victory on the grounds
In western Anbar, Hawija, western Kirkuk and everywhere, the
map of Iraq is being exposed to an attempt to divide the country from the
division of Iraq, separating the people of one nation on a national and ethnic
basis, and endangering all of them.
At a time when we unite the people and the fighters to repel
the criminal gang, we are surprised by the calls for discrimination and a return
to the era of darkness, domination and dictatorship.
Tikrit, Anbar and Mosul have removed the danger from Erbil and
the cities of the beloved north. This is a duty we owe and we will defend in
every inch of the precious land of Iraq.
Today, we confirm that we will not abandon our Kurdish
citizens. We have rejected and rejected the sectarian state and the racist
state. Iraq will remain for all Iraqis and we will not allow it to be the
property of this and it acts in it as it pleases and without counting the
consequences.
The duty of leaders is to take care of citizens' affairs and
to protect them from the dangers that surround them, not to endanger them and to
bring them into conflict.
What did the Iraqis gain from the conflicts that the tyrant
Saddam inflicted on them internally and externally?
Nothing but destruction and saturation of arrogance and
domination and recklessness that led Iraq to loss and underdevelopment and loss
of security and stability.
The regime of tyrant Saddam has oppressed all Iraqis by Arabs,
Kurds, Turkmen and other components because he saw in all honorable Iraqis a
threat to him and his tyrannical rule. The majority of Iraqis rejected this
oppression and domination, but there was a misguided eagle of all nationalities
aligned with the tyrant of the Arabs, Kurds and other nationalities. It was also
supported by Arab Baathists, Ba'athists and Kurds, as well as Arab and Kurdish
Baathists, injustice and racism. After reminding us of these facts, all the
Arabs were accused of accusing the people of Baghdad of injustice while the
worst injustice was inflicted on them by a repressive regime. Of different
nationalities.
What should be explained to our dear Kurdish
people is that most of the problems of the region are internal and not with
Baghdad and therefore they will be consistent with the calls for separation, and
the economic and financial difficulties in the region are the result of
corruption and mismanagement.
My words to the Kurdish people in particular: Ask the
officials in the region where the money goes oil and they seized about 900
thousand barrels of oil per day, equivalent to a quarter of oil produced in the
rest of Iraq .. Why pay the salaries of employees in the region, although
reduced to the minimum levels with them On the quantities of oil much higher
than the proportion of the population in the province compared to the rest of
the cities of Iraq, while we are here in the center and despite the great
economic difficulties and the cost of the high war did not lower salaries and
did not stop.
Ask the region's officials: Why do not oil imports enter a
clear and public account that citizens know, as we do here in the central
government, and why they do not allow financial control of public
funds.
These questions about the fate of the oil money of the region
and the non-payment of salaries have been offered to the officials of the region
several times, and directed the financial control bodies to do its duty, but, on
the pretext of independence of the region, they reject the work of the oversight
and integrity and consider it interference, while the real goal is to cover
corruption and mismanagement. "These facts, although we have previously
announced to the public several times, but we were not focused on the media and
did not want to enter the media war in order to obtain fair and equitable
solutions that preserve public funds and citizens' rights and within the
constitutional and legal frameworks of the relationship between the government
And the eleventh region.
Public funds shall not be the property of persons and parties
and shall pay salaries and donations to supporters and leave the rest of the
citizens.
Another proof that the problems of the province is the
internal freeze of the work of parliament for twenty-two months and the
continuation of the provincial government without legal cover because of the
policies of officials in the region. And these internal problems within the
region will also be exacerbated, and there will be no support from either the
international community or the neighbors because of the hostile positions of the
regional officials against all their neighbors and against the international
community, which are contrary to the interests of our citizens in the
region.
We can not continue to impose the status quo by force, and
this logic will fail as the failure of the Baathist Baathist to impose on the
Iraqis with brutality and the power of arms.
The uniqueness of the decision affects the unity and security
of Iraq and affects all its citizens and the security of the region through the
referendum on the unilateral separation is a decision contrary to the
Constitution and peaceful coexistence between citizens and will not be dealt
with nor its results and we will have steps later to preserve the unity of the
country and the interests of all citizens.
One victorious Iraq lived
And will remain for all his sons ..
Peace, mercy and blessings of God .

Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Dr.
Haider Al-Abadi heads a meeting of the Ministerial Council for National
Security
24 September 2017
Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Dr.
Haider Al-Abadi, presided over a meeting of the Ministerial Council for National
Security.
The Council saluted the victories achieved by our heroine
forces in the first phase of the liberation operations of Hawija, where more
than 100 villages were liberated in the eastern areas of Lashkarot and areas
north of the Lower Zab River and move on the second phase to liberate the
western areas of Kirkuk province
During the meeting, the referendum was discussed in the
Kurdistan region. The council affirmed that the referendum is an
unconstitutional practice that jeopardizes the security and stability of the
country. It is a unilateral measure that does not express any sense of
responsibility towards the partners. It moves the situation towards the crisis
and cuts the way for all the attempts of positive national construction. After
pleading that the referendum is unconstitutional and therefore does not result
in the consequences of any real impact, but leads to significant negative
repercussions on the region in particular.
It was also stressed that the resolution of disputes can not
be achieved by imposing a de facto policy by force, and the importance of not
jumping over the constitution and bypassing the interests and rights of the
other partners in the country. This mechanism is surpassed by democratic Iraq,
which respects all identities and recognizes its rights.
The council noted that unfortunately, some kind of
mobilization was observed for this non-constitutional practice based on racist
concepts, accusations, inciting negative emotions or accusing others of what is
contrary to reality.
The Council pointed out that the economic problem and the
issue of salaries and the disruption of parliament and the expulsion of
ministers and the political and security monopoly of certain parties are
internal problems in the Kurdistan region and others are not responsible for
them, including the policy of non-transparent and Alldasturip in dealing with
national wealth and the wealth of all the Iraqi people.
"The government considers itself responsible for all matters
related to the interests, security and welfare of citizens and to improve their
situation in every inch of Iraq, including the interests and aspirations of
Kurdish citizens in Iraq," the council said.
The Council said that the government is committed to
performing all the constitutional duties entrusted to it, especially defending
the unity and sovereignty of Iraq and the security and stability of its people
by all means and mechanisms enshrined in the constitution.
The Council pointed out that the Iraqi government confirms
that it will not discuss or discuss the subject of the referendum and its
unconstitutional results and call on everyone to return to the right and
responsibility for the direction of Iraq in general and our people in Kurdistan
in particular.
The Council said that it is impossible to deny that corruption
is the serious scourge that has harmed the interests of the Iraqi people,
including the interests of our people in Kurdistan. Therefore, the fight against
corruption by everyone, especially the federal government, is a duty to
implement its direct reflection on the interests of the public.
And the fact that the border ports are the ports of the
federal government as well as oil is a wealth for all the Iraqi people according
to the Iraqi constitution, the Iraqi government directed the Kurdistan region to
hand over all border crossings, including airports to the federal government
authority and requests neighboring countries and countries of the world deal
with the Iraqi federal government exclusively in the file Ports and oil so that
the Iraqi federal authorities at the ports regulate and facilitate the flow of
goods and people to and from the region.
The Council also considered the measures to be taken by the
concerned authorities, including the Iraqi money recovery team, to follow up the
accounts of the Kurdistan region and the accounts of officials in the region who
deposit the export money in their accounts.
As well as the call of the prosecution to prosecute all
employees of the state within the region who implement the referendum procedures
contrary to the decisions of the Federal Court.
The Ministerial Council for National Security said that in a
permanent meeting to follow up and address the repercussions of holding a
referendum in the region.

to decide his fate
Arbil, Iraq - September 24: President of the Kurdistan Region
Massoud Barzani, on Sunday, a letter to neighboring countries on the eve of the
referendum on independence, as between the nature of dialogues to be held with
Baghdad after the referendum, while stressing the continued coordination between
the Iraqi army and Peshmerga forces , Called on the Kurdish people to go to the
referendum funds on Monday to determine his fate.
Barzani told a press conference in Erbil that "Kurdistan does
not pose a threat to neighboring countries, and we have proved for 25 years that
we are a factor of stability in the region."
"The Kurds want to establish the best relations with the
neighboring countries," he said. "We extend their hand to friendship and hope
that they will reciprocate in the same direction." "We will proceed with the
referendum decision at any price, rather than waiting for an unknown future," he
said.
He pointed out that "the international community was not
rejecting the principle of holding the referendum, but requested a
postponement," stressing the holding of the referendum in the region and
disputed areas. On the political process, Barzani said: "After the overthrow of
the previous regime in 2003 and the start of a new phase, we hoped to be based
on respect for the rights of all, and then vote in 2005 on the
Constitution."
"After a short time, we came to the conviction that the
majority of politicians in Baghdad changed their faces only, but the mentality
that believed in the Anfal and the genocide of Kurds is the same."
He pointed out that "the Iraqi government's violation of the
Constitution, and the implementation of Article 140 of it," noting that
politicians in Baghdad, "they told us that the article ended after 2007,
although it was not implemented."
He added that "Baghdad continued its constitutional violations
by refusing to send the salaries of the Peshmerga forces and arming and then cut
the financial budget for the region."
"We were hoping for a democratic civil state, not a sectarian
state in Iraq now," he said. "We tried very hard to settle differences through
dialogue with Baghdad and the international community, but Baghdad did not
accept us and we were forced to march towards a referendum and independence,"
Barzani said.
He pointed out that the partnership ended in Iraq, calling
Baghdad to "dialogue to be good neighbors." Barzani identified the natural
dialogues to be held between Arbil and Baghdad after the referendum to be held
on Monday.
"Our dialogue with Baghdad after the referendum will focus on
how we will be a good neighbor and we will not return to that failed experience
again," Barzani told the press conference.
"We emphasize the continued coordination between the
international coalition and the Iraqi army and we will maintain this success
that we have achieved and we will continue on this approach if Baghdad is ready
for it."
Barzani called the people of Kurdistan tomorrow to go to the
ballot boxes and self-determination. Finished
