Pyramids of Egypt

The Pyramids of Egypt are ancient stone structures built as tombs for Pharaohs, the kings of Egypt, around 4,500 years ago. They are masterpieces of engineering, designed to protect the Pharaoh’s body and belongings in the afterlife. The most famous is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was originally 146 meters tall and built with millions of limestone blocks. These pyramids served not only as royal burial sites but also as symbols of the Pharaoh’s divine power and connection to the gods. They remain iconic symbols of ancient Egypt’s advanced civilization and architectural skill.
