Pyramids

Walt: write an information report on pyramids.

The pyramids were built for the Egyptian pharaohs. When the pharaoh died he was placed into the tomb. The Egyptians believed in afterlife. Afterlife is when the king dies and the spirit remains with the Egyptians. The Egyptians prayed to the pharaohs as if they were Gods.

The Egyptians would wash the dead body first. After washing the corps the embalmers would take the insides out. The embalmers would stack piles of salt around the dead corps. Afterwards, they would rub the corps with oil and wrap it with bandages. This is a mummy.

It it believed that it took 20 to 30 years to build the pyramids. The Egyptians used a ramp to get the blocks up on the pyramids. The pyramid was 450 feet high and 756 feet long. The Egyptians built the pyramid on the west bank of the Nile River. The Egyptians link the west with death and the east is for rebirth. The west is death because the spirit could start their journey.

The most pyramids were built in Giza. The three pyramids of Giza were Menkaure’s pyramid, Khafre’s pyramid and Khufu’s pyramid. The smallest pyramid out of the three  is Menkaure pyramid. Khufu’s pyramid is about 4500 years old. Khufu’s  pyramid is one of the seven wonders of the world and it is still standing now.
