PYRAMIDS

A pyramid is a structure with a square base and four sloping triangular sides that meet at one point. Pyramids were royal tombs and considered the place of ascent for the spirit of the pharaoh. Transporting stones for build a pyramid were very difficult. Sciences discovered that they made the sand wet and, then, they transported the stones, because this made the sand harder and so, they only had to use a half of strength. There aren’t many documents and we know almost nothing about the constructive methods used in the pyramids.

Truly, there aren’t a lot of traps in a pyramid. Some of them consist on camouflage passages and chambers. They didn't want to defend the chambers. They wanted to protect them.
One of the chambers inside a pyramid was the chamber of the pharaoh. In this chamber we can find the mummified body of the pharaoh inside a sarcophagus. In other chamber there were paintings in the walls and goods like gold, jewelers, figures of gods, objects that were important for the pharaoh... There were more chambers like the chamber where we can found the woman of the pharaoh…
One of the most famous pyramids is the pyramid of Guiza where we can find the chamber of the pharaoh Keops.
