Ancient Pyramids

By: Eric Trejo

Have you ever wondered what’s inside a pyramid? Pyramids were great monuments for pharaohs because of their accomplishments they had made while they ruled. These pyramids were during the old kingdom, middle kingdom, and new kingdom. In this report I will focus on how the pyramids were made, tombs, and lastly what they were used for.        

Have you ever wondered how they made pyramids? Pyramids were built by heavy blocks of stone. Also they were made out of blocks of limestone. Since the blocks were dragged by sand it made the blocks look shinier like they do today. But there were only specific people to build the pyramids. They weren’t slaves that built the pyramids, they were built by free workers and farmers. Once the pharaoh died they started building the pyramid to bury the great pharaoh inside. On the other hand, other types of pyramids or tombs were built in a different way. For example, the mastabas was built with mud rock, and it was during the old kingdom. Also they were built by special employees of the pharaoh. And it took about 20 years to build one single pyramid. Finally these are the different ways pyramids were built and the free workers, farmers, and special employees made the pyramids, and they were built by them.

Have you ever wondered what the pyramids were used for? Well pyramids were big and great monuments for pharaohs. Also the pharaohs had pyramids to live in and for their families to live in. Before pyramids were built there were mastabas that had a coffin for the pharaoh. Therefore, when the pharaoh died they wrapped them up and the did ritual. Then they would put them inside the pyramids or mastabas. Finally pyramids were for pharaohs to bury them inside when they died. Therefore, pyramids were built for the pharaoh to live in and to be buried in once they died.

                                                  

           Have you ever seen a tomb before? Well I’ll tell you what a tomb is. A tomb is like a pyramid. Also the greatest testaments and shelter for a pharaoh in the afterlife are pyramids, and other tombs. However, the pharaohs had pyramids and other tombs, as their accomplishments they had done while they ruled. Finally one tomb called the mastabas was the earliest and simplest tomb structure because it was built with mud rock. As a result, these are other types of tombs that existed before pyramids.

In conclusion, this is the history of pyramids that were built, used, and before they existed. Also for me it’s great learning the history of pyramids and thank you for reading.
