Pyramid complex
A pyramid complex is a large architectural site built by ancient civilizations, most famously in Egypt, to serve as tombs for pharaohs and elite figures. It includes the pyramid itself—massive, triangular structures designed to protect the deceased and symbolize divine power—along with surrounding temples, causeways, and courtyards used for religious rituals. These complexes were carefully planned to honor the dead, facilitate their journey to the afterlife, and demonstrate the ruler’s authority and connection to the divine. They reflect advanced engineering and religious beliefs, representing a sophisticated blend of architecture, spirituality, and governance.
