Ancient Egyptian pyramid rescue airbags

Specialist engineer company Cintec previously had worked at the White House and Windsor Castle. Now he has been tasked to assist the object, which perfectly without repairing the past 4500 years, reports BBC. With the bags filled with compressed air, the wizard support the roof of the pyramid, located at 60 meter height, and simultaneously engaged in overhaul facilities. Now the first phase of repair work already completed, but managing director Peter James Cintec says it's only a small part of what must be done. The main difficulties faced builders and restorers were, oddly enough, is not the nature of engineering. The thing is that almost simultaneously with the start of work on the rescue of the pyramid of Djoser in Egypt, riots broke out. "The plan we were supposed to start work in January, it was then in Egypt, suddenly began chaos. The next four months we sat on their suitcases. In the news all the time spoke of looting and massacres, which, unfortunately, have not bypassed us. Much of our equipment was stolen, but the pyramid, fortunately, did not suffer ", – said Mr. James. In this case, the engineer said that, despite all the preparations, the employees of his company and could not imagine that an earthquake could damage the vaults of the tomb is so heavily. According to James, as long as the pyramid is not brought to the forest, the builders were not even at the expense of what keeps 60-meter dome structures. Special technology "Airbag", which applies Cintec in Egypt, was invented by Peter James for neutralizing explosive devices during the Afghan war. Bomb surrounded by special bags with the air that might contain the explosion and prevent the spread of the fragments. Initially, engineers planned to use to keep the walls of the pyramid container with water, not air, but eventually abandoned this idea – a tomb were discovered hidden passages, and the staff Cintec afraid that the floor of the chamber simply collapses under the weight of bulk bags. Steps leading to the top of the pyramid, located above the burial chamber of Pharaoh Djoser, War III dynasty, Old Kingdom, 19 years old who ruled Egypt. His mummified remains were found by archaeologists in the 30-ies of XX century. Now the pyramid roof supported by 11 airbags, and 6, a flat, reinforcing pillars, designed to maintain the lower corners of the burial chamber. Technology, previously used during the war, are now used for the preparation of dilapidated ancient monuments to the harsh desert conditions. Another important m specifying for builders will be back as the pyramid crumbling stones over the years, how much does it all possible. They need to be bonded with a solution that was used in the construction of the pyramids thousands of years ago. Save the original appearance of the pyramid – the most complex. If inside the tomb, we can use modern technology, its facade must be a genuine one hundred percent. By searching hundreds of options mixes, we'll have to find a formula that same solution, which was used by ancient Egyptians, "- said Peter James.
