Scientists have discovered the centuries-old secret of the statue of Abul Haul
The centuries-old pyramids of Egypt have been the center of attention of people and scientists for a long time.
Much is still unknown about the thousands-year-old pyramids of Egypt, and research is ongoing to find out more.
Along with the Great Haram of Giza, the statue of Abu al-Hawle has long been a mystery to scientists, who until now could not understand how such a large statue was built thousands of years ago.
Now the scientists have claimed in this regard that they have learned how the construction of Abu Al Haul was possible 4 and a half thousand years ago.
For decades, experts agreed that the face of the Abu al-Hawl statue was carved with stone tools, but they could not understand how its large body was created.
A possible answer was given in a New York University study.
This was made possible by changes in the rock caused by exposure to strong winds over the centuries in the desert, the study said.
According to the researchers, the laboratory experiments proved that it is possible to form abu-ul-haul-like structures in the rocks due to the strong flow of air.
But he said that this does not mean that this great statue was completely carved by nature, but the changes in the rock were shaped by the ancient Egyptians.
For this research, they prepared limestone-based model rocks and washed them with a strong stream of water.
Soft lime was used for these models, keeping in mind the ingredients present in the sculpture of Abu Al-Hol, and the flow of water began to form a lion-like structure in these models.
According to the researchers, due to the strong winds in the desert, such rocks are naturally shaped like an animal sitting or lying down.
The statue of Abu Alhaul is considered to be very mysterious because the 20 meter tall statue was carved out of a single limestone rock.
In 1981, a geologist, Farooq Al-Baz, suggested that strong winds played an important role in the construction of the Abu Al-Hol Mosque.
Now the results of new research have strengthened this idea.
According to the researchers, the results indicate that structures like Abul Haul can be formed under such conditions.
But he admitted that the question of how much of the sculpture is natural and how much is man-made is still unanswered.
He further said that our research showed that most of the head, neck and paws are carved by nature.
