Tarih ve Efsane<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Menkaure, babas\u0131 Khafre’den (Kefren) sonra tahta ge\u00e7en ve Giza Platosu’ndaki \u00fc\u00e7\u00fcnc\u00fc ve en k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck piramidi in\u015fa ettiren firavundur. Yunanca Mikerinos<\/strong> (Mycerinus) olarak bilinir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onun piramidinin atalar\u0131nkine (Khufu ve Khafre) g\u00f6re \u00e7ok daha k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck olmas\u0131 (hacimce Khufu’nun 1\/10’u), tarih\u00e7iler taraf\u0131ndan uzun s\u00fcre “ekonomik \u00e7\u00f6k\u00fc\u015f” veya “g\u00fc\u00e7 kayb\u0131” olarak yorumlanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Ancak modern M\u0131s\u0131rbilim, bunun bilin\u00e7li bir teolojik ve estetik tercih<\/strong> oldu\u011funu savunur. Menkaure, devasa kire\u00e7ta\u015f\u0131 bloklar yerine, i\u015flenmesi \u00e7ok daha zor ve de\u011ferli olan Asvan Graniti<\/strong>‘ni kullanarak “kaliteye” odaklanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menkaure, Khafre’nin o\u011fludur. Annesi muhtemelen Krali\u00e7e Khamerernebty I<\/strong>‘dir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E\u015fleri:<\/strong> Ba\u015f e\u015fi (ve k\u0131z karde\u015fi) Khamerernebty II<\/strong>‘dir. Boston G\u00fczel Sanatlar M\u00fczesi’ndeki \u00fcnl\u00fc “Menkaure ve Krali\u00e7esi” heykeli (Dyad), firavun ile e\u015finin samimiyetini ve krali\u00e7enin g\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fc g\u00f6steren en zarif eserlerden biridir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karakteri:<\/strong> Tarih\u00e7i Herodot, Menkaure’yi atalar\u0131 Khufu ve Khafre’nin aksine; tap\u0131naklar\u0131 a\u00e7an, halka adalet da\u011f\u0131tan, merhametli ve dindar bir kral olarak anlat\u0131r. Efsaneye g\u00f6re, “k\u0131sa \u00f6m\u00fcrl\u00fc olaca\u011f\u0131” kehanetine kar\u015f\u0131, geceyi g\u00fcnd\u00fcze katarak (s\u00fcrekli kandil yakarak) ya\u015fam s\u00fcresini ikiye katlamaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015fm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menkaure’nin Giza’daki piramidi, di\u011fer ikisinin yan\u0131nda “k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck karde\u015f” gibi dursa da, detaylar\u0131nda e\u015fsizdir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piramit (G3):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y\u00fckseklik:<\/em> Orijinal y\u00fcksekli\u011fi 65.5 metredir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malzeme Devrimi:<\/em> Piramidin alt k\u0131sm\u0131ndaki ilk 16 s\u0131ra, Tura kire\u00e7ta\u015f\u0131 yerine, y\u00fczlerce kilometre g\u00fcneyden (Asvan) getirilen sert k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 granit<\/strong> ile kaplanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Bu, o d\u00f6nem i\u00e7in inan\u0131lmaz bir lojistik ve i\u015f\u00e7ilik maliyetidir. Menkaure, piramidinin tamam\u0131n\u0131 granitle kaplamay\u0131 hedeflemi\u015f, ancak \u00f6mr\u00fc yetmeyince \u00fcst k\u0131s\u0131mlar kire\u00e7ta\u015f\u0131yla tamamlanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albay Vyse ve Beatrice Gemisi:<\/strong> 1837’de \u0130ngiliz Albay Howard Vyse, piramidin mezar odas\u0131na girdi\u011finde muhte\u015fem i\u015flemeli, bazalttan yap\u0131lm\u0131\u015f bir lahit<\/strong> buldu.
