Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are pyramids. Pyramids stand huge and silent and in modem days people look at them and wonder: Who built them? Why? When? What is inside? How did they do it?
Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built pyramids. They used to build them as their tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. Scale pyramids were for queens. But they were less interesting because they are not as big. The oldest pyramid that we know today is the pyramid near Sahara in Egypt. It is about 5,000 years old. There are many pyramids dong the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of two million three hundred thousand huge stones, most of them higher than a person. It is about 144 meters high. Inside the pyramid are the burial rooms for the king and queen and long passage ways to these rooms. The rest d the pyramid is solid stone. Workers usually built the pyramids when they could not work on their farms. To build the pyramid of Khufu, 1130,000 men worked for 20 years. We know there were wonderful treasures in the pyramids. Robbers went into the pyramids and took many of these treasures. Today some of the treasures are in museums though.
The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They did not build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build the pyramid and then build a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt, but they are big. Each pyramid has wide stairways that go firm the bottom to the top. There’s nothing inside the pyramid only dirt 6r more stones.
How did the people of ancient days build the pyramids? How did they carry and lift the huge stones? Each stone fits so well and they didn’t have our modem machines. The ancient artwork of Egypt and Mexico gives us some ideas. Scientists hale studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how they did it. Some day ff you can, you ought to go to see the pyramids. You will never forget them.
