pyramids reveal the skill of these ancient builders. The Egyptians
believed that a king's soul continued to live after his death. To
ensure that they would continue to enjoy the blessings of the gods,
they preserved the pharaoh's body through the mummification
process. They built the pyramids to protect the pharaoh's body, the
pyramid was a symbol of hope, because it would ensure the
pharaoh's union with the gods.
The largest pyramid is 481 feet high, by 775 feet long at each of its
