The Great World of Ancient Egypt
Egypt is an ancient land of an amazing civilization. Their leaders were called pharaohs and ruled as long as they lived. Rameses the Great ruled around 60 years.
The pharaoh had workers who would work very hard to build a huge triangular shaped pyramid especially for him. It was made of more than two million stones, weighing two and a half tons, piled one upon another. A room is left inside where the pharaoh was buried when he died. How did he come to deciding to make a triangle and why?
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is 481 feet high and took many years to build. Yet, it is perfectly built. All three pyramids of Giza were built from limestone, with granite burial chambers.
The pharaoh was put into a sarcophagus that was shaped like his body. The front was engraved with his face, painted and coated with gold. It was put in a room within the pyramid along with things that he had used while alive.
