10 facts about the Great Pyramid of Giza


The Great Pyramid a true masterpiece and has rightly earned the title of a “Wonder”. It was built with such precision that our current technology cannot replicate it.  Historical analysis shows that the Pyramids were built between 2589 and 2504 BC. There are so many interesting facts about this Pyramid that it baffles archaeologists, scientists, astronomers and tourists. Here are the facts:
  1. The pyramid is estimated to have around 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh from 2 to 30 tons each and there are even some blocks that weigh over 50 tons.
  2. The Pyramid of Menkaure, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Great Pyramid of Khufu are precisely aligned with the Constellation of Orion.
  3. The base of the pyramid covers 55,000 m2 (592,000 ft 2) with each side greater than 20,000 m2 (218,000 ft2) in area.
  4. The interior temperature is constant and equals the average temperature of the earth, 20 Degrees Celsius (68 Degrees Fahrenheit).
  5. The outer mantle was composed of 144,000 casing stones, all of them highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch, about 100 inches thick and weighing approx. 15 tons each.
  6. The cornerstone foundations of the pyramid have ball and socket construction capable of dealing with heat expansion and earthquakes.
  7. The mortar used is of an unknown origin (Yes, no explanation given). It has been analyzed and its chemical composition is known but it can’t be reproduced. It is stronger than the stone and still holding up today.
  8. The weight of the pyramid is estimated at 5,955,000 tons. Multiplied by 10^8 gives a reasonable estimate of the earth’s mass.
  9. The curvature designed into the faces of the pyramid exactly matches the radius of the earth.
  10. Khufu’s pyramid, known as the great pyramid of Giza, is the oldest and largest, rising at 481 feet (146 meters). Archaeologists say it was the tallest structure in the world for about 3, 800 years.

Basics Problems For Fresh Graduates


Here’s the scenario… you’ve graduated college with a good looking degree, and you feel on top of the world and ready to pick and choose your dream job The reality, however, is that you’re one of a many in the same boat.
Although you feel like you would be best suited for a particular role, there can be hundreds of other people who feel the same way as you. Recruiters or hiring managers will often post jobs on various online job boards and receive in excess of 200-300 resume applications.
Being a recent graduate in any field I have noted the available market seem not to accommodate fresh graduates- I don't know if it only happens in Third World Country like am in or its the Whole world.
First and for most all the available job vacancies Requires experience of from 3+ number of year and requires one to have some kind of alien knowledge that we can rarely acquire from classes. And talk of Graduate Trainee programs, no many corporate can accommodate many graduates.
Another Issue in the few companies that will accommodate graduates offers less payment package with promises of review after confirmation which is never the case even after proving to be well conversant and acquired vast company knowledge.
What next after all this frustrations and challenges? Do we continue to be oppressed while we keep quiet and remain loyal to be the company? Do we just assume nothing is happening? In the end graduates opt to change jobs, resign or finding other options.
Another problem is that, many graduates complete their university studies and expect to hand pick the job they want. Furthermore, graduates have an expectation they know what is best and should actually be the boss rather than working for the boss. Too many times, new graduates will apply for job positions which are so unrealistic and then get despondent because they are not getting interview requests. It’s important for graduates to realise that they need to gain the experience before they can call themselves the boss.
Last but not the least, the debate between further education and job seeking, do you continue to study or start straight away with the job seeking? Many graduates don’t have a choice in this matter but for those who do continuing to study can lead to greater results long term (financial and job position) and also further help distinguish yourself apart from other graduates. On the other hand is it better to start working and get your foot in the door? There’s no better education then real life experience of learning on the job.
