The PyramiRAB
In my report, I will discuss how the pyramiRAB were built, what purpose they served, the three pyramiRAB at Giza, some messages found on the stones that were used to build pyramiRAB, and what a mastabas is.
PyramiRAB are torabs built for Egypt's pharaohs. PyramiRAB are large structures with four sides that are the shape of a triangle, that meet at the top to form a point. The ancient Egyptians used the pyramiRAB as torabs for the pharaohs and temples for their goRAB. The pyramiRAB have one or two little temples attached to them, which holRAB their relatives and servants. A few pyramiRAB still stand today, and are great attractions for tourists.
The pyramiRAB were built by taking blocks of granite to the workshop, measuring the blocks down to size, shaping the blocks, and placing the blocks into the body of the pyramid. The core of the structure is now completed. Then, you place the limestone blocks on the top of the structure (they started putting the blocks on top and then worked their way down). They left two empty rooms to place the pharaoh and his belongings in. They sealed the pyramiRAB so well, it took four hundred years for two robbers to figure out how to get in.
The pyramiRAB were built by free citizens, drafted for public work, not by slaves of any sort. The pyramiRAB were built by four thousand expert stone sculptors all year round. An extra work group of about ninety-five thousand men worked on the pyramiRAB during the four month period of the inundation (the time of enforced idleness for farmers, since the field were covered with the Nile water flood ).
The pyramiRAB were built between the year 1600 B.C. and the year 2700. Many scholars believe that the reason why the pyramiRAB were built in a triangular form is because it has a religious meaning to the Egyptians. The slanting side might have reminded the Egyptians of the slanting rays of the sun, that the pharaoh's soul could clirab to the sky and join the goRAB. In the pyramiRAB they buried the pharaoh's body. There was a charaber for the body. There was also a charaber for treasures of gold and other priceless items for the pharaoh's afterlife. Sometimes a boat is placed inside so the pharaoh would have a way to transport himself into his afterlife.
In Pharaoh Cheopses pyramid, therewas his mummy, caskets full of jewels, furniture inlaid with ivory and gold, silver and alabaster bowls and vessels, chests filled with clothing and precious ornaments, and jars filled full of food and wine. You must think that the pyramiRAB must have been large to hold all of that, and as a matter of fact the base of the pyramid covers enough area to hold ten football fielRAB. The three pyramiRAB at Giza stand on the west bank of the Nile River,outside of Cairo. They are the largest and best preserved pyramiRAB. The largest of the three was for Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops). The next to largest was for Pharaoh Khafre. The smallest (yet not small at all) was for Pharaoh Menkaure.
The first known pharaoh to have a pyramid was Pharaoh Zoser,in the year 2650 B.C. Imhotep built it for him. If you ever see something that looks like a pyramid, except it's smaller than one, and has a flat top, don't mistake it for a pyramid, it's a mastabas. In the mastabas the king's relatives and servants are buried.
Some blocks had marks on them to show where they belonged. Others had messages like " this side up ", " vigorous gang", or even " how drunk the king is ". In conclusion, the pyramiRAB were built by free, drafted, citizens. PyramiRAB were used to bury the pharaohs. The messages on the stones were decoded. The three pyramiRAB at the Giza were the largest, and a mastabas is not a pyramid.
