Pyramids of Egypt
Who built the Pyramids? Egyptians who lived in villages actually built the pyramids. 20,000 to 30,000 workers built the pyramids at Giza. It is believed that much of their work was done while the Nile river was flooded. Why were the pyramids built? They were built to keep the pharaohs soul sheltered. The first pyramid was an above ground burial chamber. The Cheops pyramid is the largest pyramid ever built. This pyramid has 2.3 million stones. This pyramid has 3 burial chambers. One is underground, the second is above ground and the third was the King's chamber. Pyramids are true history that you have to see for yourself!

I've always had mixed emotions with the pyramids. On the one hand, they are stunning and an amazing transport back into ancient history. On the other, it was built by the suffering of an enitre people. There's a mystery that surrounds the pyramids and I would love to see them for myself one day.
