How are pyramids built!

Pyramids are large triangular shaped structures that can be seen in Egypt.

The people who planned to make the pyramids are called, 'Pharaohs'. Pharaohs  made pyramids so that they can be buried in it. First, the workers build the steps of the pyramids. They use limestone blocks which weigh about 6.5 to 10 tons and the smaller limestone blocks for the top of the pyramid weighed about 1.3 tons. They knew how to change the shape of the limestone blocks in order to form a pyramid. The workers worked very hard everyday.

Once the pyramid was built, the Pharaoh would claim the pyramid. Sometimes the Pharaoh's family is buried inside the pyramid as well. The Pharaoh also bury his weapons and tools because he thought of using it later on.

Pyramids last for a very long time and some pyramids haven't been discovered. Explorers try to find the artefacts inside the pyramids so they learn more about the life of the Egyptians.
