The pyramids of Giza

The pyramids of Giza 

 The pyramids of Giza located in Egypt are the most famous pyramids in the world. To this day, Egyptologists aren't quite sure about how the Great Pyramids of Giza were built. Theses great structures consisted of 3 pyramids built in the year 2560 BC. The name of the 3 pyramids is the great pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The great pyramid was the tallest man-made structure for nearly 4000 years. These structures were built over 4500 years ago. The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs as the belief in life after death. Mummified bodies of the pharaohs would be placed in tombs as the pharaohs were expected to become gods in the afterlife. The construction of pyramids is so impressive that today humankind can't be sure on how the pyramids were built.  It was first thought that the builders were slaves, but it is now actually believed to be built by very skilled Egyptians who lived in the area. There is proof of villages and tempory cities where people believed the workers lived, it seems to be there for a few years. The ancient Egyptians created techniques and different form of technology to build these pyramids. Thanks to the ancient Egyptians we now have math. The pyramids are built out of huge blocks of limestone, the limestone blocks were quarried at Giza and possibly other sites. The Egyptians were really limited on tools. Iron tools were not available, so they used various tools such as pounders, chisels, hammers, and pickaxes made from granite.  The Egyptians used limestone in many different ways. Fine, white limestone was used to decorate the outsides of the temples and the tombs of the pyramid, whereas the not so fine limestone was used more for the core of the pyramids. The difference of teclogly the Egyptian develope over time has really the world we live in and how we adapt.
