pyramids

 Did you know pyramids were built by thousand of men without any iron tools? Egypt is the only place that has pyramids. Pyramids are amazing structures that were built long ago for a good reason.

Pyramids have a square base. Pyramids have four triangular side meeting together at the tip. This is what pyramids means-wheat cake, they use wheat cake because it reminds them of pointy wheat cake.

There are three main pyramids in Egypt, their names are Khufu, Kafhremen, and Kaurt. Each pyramid is a tomb for a different king of Egypt. Slaves of kings and the king's sons built all three pyramids during the third and fourth dynasties.

It took about 20 years to build pyramids and it took hundreds of men to work building them. Because of Egypt's, hot dry weather. It was easier to build pyramids. There are about eighty pyramids known today from ancient Egypt there are only a few famous ones.

Pyramids were made because they were built their tombs on the east symbolizes life, west symbolizes death. Built by faith/love of their phaons built without the aid of horses, wheels or iron tools built by baid laborers.

Pyramids were made by shining metal placed on top of the pyramids blocks of white limestone from quarrier across the nile were used to cover the pyramids. The blocks were trimmed to make the outside of the pyramids smooth.

The size of khuf’s pyramids is a man-made mountain. It stands nearly 500 feet high and each side is over 750 feet long at ground level. The great pyramid is the largest tomb ever built and the largest structure of any kind to build before modern time.

In conclusion, pyramids are really neat triangular buildings that Egyptian people used to put mummies in, because they thought that the Egyptian people or royalty might come back to life. Therefor, many people worked hard to built the royal tombs to respect their beliefs.
