The great pyramid story
The Great Pyramids are considered one of the original Seven Wonders of the World, and they are the only one still standing today. Did you know there are other pyramids besides the Pyramids of Giza? In ancient Egypt, kings were believed to be chosen by gods to serve as their mediators on Earth and become gods themselves in the afterlife. The pyramid complex was built to ensure the king had everything they needed in the afterlife, including a pyramid, palace, and temples. The tomb in the pyramid was filled with furniture, food, and gold. How fascinating!Did you know that the first pyramid was built 80 years before the first Pyramid of Giza? In total, there were around a hundred pyramids, although some were left unfinished due to the long construction time. The biggest Pyramid of Giza is as tall as a 40-story building - impressive, right?
