Pyramids

The Egyptians believed that once that have died they would have an afterlife. Afterlife is a place where the dead could roa forever and forever.A priest touched the mummy’s mouth with a special instrument, so that the dead could eat and speak in the afterlife. But not everyone were mummified and put into a pyramid. It was based on the death on the royal people.

Before putting the dead person into a coffin, there was a process needed. You had to wash the dead body. Next the inside of the body was taken out of them and put into 4 special jars. Then the brain was pulled out through the nose. A pile of salt were set out around the corps. Then the insides were stuffed with rags and herbs. Finally rubbed with oil and wrapped with bandages.  

The pyramid of Giza is believed to have taken 20 to 30 years. It was believed to use about 2,300,000 blocks of stone. Also about 100,000 slaves. It took about 10 years to build a cause connecting the pyramid to a temple and a valley below. It was 480 feet high and 750 feet long each side.

Pyramids are not in one place, they are scattered all around Egypt. Pyramids are distributed to the Upper and Lower parts of Egypt. The pyramid of Giza, one of the seven wonders is still standing. It stands on the outside of Cairo. Also along the Nile river.

The first pyramid was built by a king called sneferu. He became king as a young man. He had many years to live that made him have plenty of time to make not just one but three pyramids in two different places in Egypt. One at Meidum and two at Dashur.

Crystal's report on Pyramids

The Egyptians built the Pyramids because when the Pharaohs died they would place the body into the pyramids. It was the final resting place for the Pharaoh. The Egyptians would also leave precious things for him like gold, jewellery and much more.

The embalmers (people who looked after the dead corps) would wash the body. Then after that the embalmers would take out all the insides and put them into four special jars. Afterwards, the embalmers would put sacks of salt around the corps and dry out the body. Then finally wrapped the mummy with bandages. These mummies were places in the pyramids as the final resting place.

It is believed that it took about 20/30 years for the slaves of Egypt to build the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Great pyramid is located on the Giza plateau. It is roughly, 21 km south west of Cairo and on the west bank of the Nile River.

Devonn's information report on Pyramids

The pyramids were built in ancient Egypt because the Egyptians believed in after life they thought that if they made the pyramids the dead would roam around . The Egyptians would go and see them and put their favourite things next to their tomb so they would remember when they come back and it was the pharaohs last resting place.

The pharaohs was preserved by firstly washing the dead body. Next the embalmers took the body’s insides out. After that the embalmers put salt around the body to dry it out. Then the embalmers stuffed the body with saw dust or rags and sweet smelling herbs. Finally the embalmers rubbed the body with oil and wrapped the body in cloth then they finally put the body into the tomb and then into the pyramid.

The pyramid of Giza took 20 to 30 years to build . It was 450 feet high and 756 feet long. It took 100,000 slaves to make it. The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile. This was because the Egyptians linked the west with death, as this was where the sun set. The site had to be far enough away from the river to avoid flooding, but close to the materials so it could be transported to it.
