Exposing the Lunacy of the Lunar Effect
1
The sight of a full moon riding high in the sky on a cloudless night brings to mind beauty, the harvest, and poetic thoughts, but it also reminds us of legends of strange things that happen during a full moon. Some people believe that the full moon affects humans and animals. Temporary insanity, violence, car accidents, animal bites, and births all increase when the moon is full… or do they? While belief in the lunar effect is widespread, there is little evidence to suggest it is a real phenomenon.

2
One argument commonly put forth in favor of the lunar effect is that tides are higher when the moon is full. The human body is mostly water. If the moon can affect an entire ocean, surely it affects us too. This line of thinking is problematic for several reasons. First, the water of the ocean is not confined within a small space in the same way that the water inside the human body is. Second, the gravitational pull the moon exerts on any objects here on Earth is actually very weak. Finally, the highest tides occur not only during the full moon, but also the new moon. If the lunar effect is real, then it should logically also be observable during the new moon.

3
The results of some studies have suggested that animals are more aggressive (and more likely to bite) during a full moon, and that the number of births also peaks around this time, but they are the exception. As shown in the table below, many other investigations have failed to find any correlation between these events.

4
It is true that the full moon can interfere with sleep, but this was mainly a problem before artificial lighting. There is no mystery here. People tend to sleep best when it is dark. A full moon makes for a brighter night, so people don’t sleep as well. A streetlight shining into someone’s bedroom window would likely produce exactly the same result. The other beliefs about the lunar effect are largely based on isolated incidents, anecdotes, and fictional films and television programs. Stories about weird and mysterious occurrences during the full moon make for entertaining tales, but the lunar effect is nothing more than a myth.

Which statement BEST describes a connection made between the idea that the moon’s influence on the natural world is connected to its influence on humans in Moonstruck: Evidence for the Lunar Effect?

A
The moon has been affecting people since the beginning of time, so it is natural that the moon continues to do so.

B
Since animals tend to bite more during a full moon, humans end up in the hospital more often.

C
Since the moon has a strong gravitational pull when it is full, it also has the ability to cause an increase in birth rate.

D
The moon makes the oceans change, and since there is water in the human body, the moon must impact it as well.

How Did the Egyptians Build the Pyramids?

The pyramids of Egypt are amazing examples of human imagination. Built over 4,500 years ago, the pyramids served as proof of the power of the men who built them.

The first pyramids started out as rectangular tombs called mastabas. Mastabas were flat-roofed structures with sloped sides. The pyramid of the pharaoh Djoser started off as a mastaba but gradually turned into a 197-foot structure with six “steps” and a three-and-a-half-mile underground labyrinth.

It wasn’t until much later that the kind of smooth-faced pyramids we’re used to seeing were constructed. The Great Pyramid in Giza is an excellent example of this. Today, it is considered one of the “Seven Ancient Wonders of the World.”

Much is known about the pyramids, but one thing remains a mystery. How did ancient people with little understanding of modern engineering and no modern construction machines build them?

PLANNING

The modern way in which the ancient Egyptians organized the construction of pyramids was impressive. High-ranking officials were chosen to plan and manage pyramid-building projects. They were responsible for building the main structure as well as the temples, boat-pits, and other buildings surrounding them.

Undertaking such a massive colossal task required a huge workforce. In this case, as many as 20,000 skilled laborers worked to build the pyramids. Tens of thousands of workers required enormous resources, such as a place to live during the construction. Important officials were often in large homes, but the workers usually slept in simple conditions around the construction site. The workers needed protection from enemies and, possibly, each other, so construction managers also had to build barracks for troops.

Of course, everyone associated with the project needed to eat. Cutting, hauling, and stacking the stones that the pyramids were made from took a lot of strength and energy. Researchers discovered that animals were brought to the construction sites to feed workers around 4,000 pounds of meat a day. This led the researchers to believe that it was likely the workers ate better on the job than they did back at home.

GATHERING MATERIALS

Once the plans were made, the supply chain created, and the workforce assembled, the construction of the pyramids began. Alabaster was usually used to create floors, statues, tiles, and vases. Limestone was used on the outside of the pyramids. Both materials had to be imported to the construction site.

This stage began with quarrying and shipping massive slabs of stone. A team from the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology discovered a unique ramp system for removing stone blocks from an alabaster quarry in the Eastern Desert. The ancient Egyptians put the stone on a sled and attached the sled to wooden posts. To reduce friction, they poured water on the sand. Using these methods, they were able to pull giant rocks up the steep slopes of the quarry.

Stones were gathered from many areas and shipped by boat to a port near the construction site. The ports themselves were their own grand construction achievement. In a harbor near the Great Pyramid, Egyptologist Pierre Tallet discovered a pier that was built around 4,600 years ago. He and his team found over 100 anchors and thirty giant caves built into the mountain that were used for storing Egyptian boats. The existence of these deep caves, called galleries, allowed boats carrying stone and other supplies to be safely docked. Before the pyramids were even built, the Egyptians were performing amazing feats of engineering.

CONSTRUCTION

The actual construction of the pyramids has baffled historians for years. Each stone weighed approximately 2.5 tons. The Great Pyramid weighed approximately 5,750,000 tons. A draft horse can pull four tons on its own and approximately twelve tons when working with another horse. For a more modern comparison, a pickup truck can pull about eight tons on its own.

But the ancient Egyptians didn’t use horses, and they certainly didn’t have pickup trucks.

How did the ancient Egyptians haul over five million tons up hundreds of feet?

Perhaps they used systems of ramps, ropes, and plain, old-fashioned elbow grease, much like the systems they used to remove stones from their quarries. Maybe they used ramps that went straight up the sides or ramps that curved around the walls. There is no consensus. The real method remains a mystery.

According to Kara Cooney, a professor of Egyptian art and architecture, this is exactly what the ancient Egyptians wanted. It increases the sense of awe and wonder, proving the amazing power of the rulers who built them.

Read this excerpt from The Secret Garden.

Her hair was like curly silk and she had a delicate little nose which seemed to be disdaining things, and she had large laughing eyes. All her clothes were thin and floating, and Mary said they were “full of lace.” They looked fuller of lace than ever this morning, but her eyes were not laughing at all. They were large and scared and lifted imploringly to the fair boy officer’s face.

“Is it so very bad? Oh, is it?” Mary heard her say.

“Awfully,” the young man answered in a trembling voice. “Awfully, Mrs. Lennox. You ought to have gone to the hills two weeks ago.”
