We walked in the big city and saw amazing Egyptian architecture. It probably took Egyptians a really long time to build it, especially since we don’t have magical equipment that got it done in 2 minutes instead of 2 decades. Anyways, we learned that they were called pyramids, and that’s where they kept the bodies of past pharaohs.
The Egyptian architects built the pyramids out of limestone concrete. They were so sturdy I’m sure they would last 4,000 years! They are completely man-made, and the smooth, angled sides of the pyramid symbolized the rays of the sun and were designed to help the pharos ascend into heaven. Also the pyramids were huge! Some were as big as 181 feet. We later found out that we were walking around the the Great Pyramids of Giza!!
