The document analyzes ancient Egyptian architecture, specifically the pyramids of Giza. It discusses how the pyramids were some of the largest tombs and funeral edifices built, and how their distinctive triangular shape symbolized power for the pharaoh. The pyramids were carefully engineered structures that distributed weight evenly and included passageways, chambers, and false passages to deter grave robbers. While no hieroglyphs were found inside the pyramids initially, some red painted numbers were later discovered. Archaeologists believe the pyramids' design and passages conveyed the Egyptian beliefs about transporting the pharaoh to the afterlife.

1. ANALYSIS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN
ARCHITECTURE

2. BRIEF INTRODUCTION
• World's biggest funeral
edifice or tombs
• Arguably the most famous
form of late Prehistoric art.
• Lasting emblems of Egyptian
art in general and Egyptian
architecture in particular

3. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
• What is the message being conveyed by the design elements and
symbols in the structure? (Historical basis)
• What is the purpose of the image embedded together with the design?
(Architectural basis)
• How is the message being conveyed by the images or the architectural
design itself? (Based on your own interpretation and analysis)

4. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
• Rectangular base and four
sloping triangular sides
that meet at the peak, as is
typical of a 'real pyramid'
form.
• The shape of a pyramid
allows weight to be
distributed evenly
throughout the structure.

5. • Despite the abundant use of
hieroglyphs to different
structures in ancient Egypt,
there is no hieroglyphs ever
been found in any of the three
pyramids in Giza until the
discovery of mysterious
hieroglyphs written in red paint
was found in a hidden chamber
but it turns out that it is only
numbers according to a
mathematical analysis.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

6. • The pyramids of Giza are
mostly solid masses of
stone with very little to be
found inside. The design
elements of pyramids were
intended as edifices for
kings/monarchs.
• The passageways underneath
the pyramid is believed by the
archeologists as a passage to the
underworld.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

7. • The pyramids themselves have
elaborate internal plans with
false passageways and corridors
to thwart potential grave
robbers.
• Pyramids were built for
religious purposes. The
Egyptians were one of the first
civilizations to believe in an
afterlife. Pyramids greatly
symbolizes power and wealth of
the pharaoh and the Egypt itself.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

8. • A study to what does
pyramids of Giza really
is built for was
explained by an
archaeologist, it is
about the great
pyramids function as a
source of light.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

9. FINAL INSIGHTS
• The construction of pyramid of
Giza took the architectural
forms in ancient Egypt to the
next level.
• The message of the pyramid’s
construction is being conveyed
by the architecture design,
elements and the beliefs of the
Egyptians themselves.

10. FINAL INSIGHTS
• The symbolisms of power and
wealth is greatly shown by the
height, width and length of the
pyramid along with the shape
and form of triangle which
signifies power and by the
materials used.
