Did early Jews make the pyramids for the Egyptian Pharaohs?
"This bit of accepted wisdom, that "...the Pyramids [were] built by slaves who were Jews.." (as stated in your message of 1 September), is a canard that does not deserve repetition. First, it is anachronistic and illogical. The "Pyramids" -- presumably the three great pyramids of Gizah and perhaps the earlier pyramids to the south, including the Step Pyramid of Sakkara -- were built in the Third and Fourth Dynasties, 2650-2575 BC and 2575-2467 BC. The Jews did not exist at that time. The ancestors of the Jews, the Hebrews or "Children of Israel" -- Bene Yisra'el -- did not enter Egypt until centuries later. If one looks at the biblical narrative, Joseph, son of Jacob aka Israel, who brought the people of Israel into Egypt to settle in the land of Goshen, was driven in a chariot just behind Pharaoh's. The Egyptians did not have the wheel when the great pyramids were built. By the time the Egyptians had wheels, and horses and chariots, the great pyramids were ancient. Even if one were to determine that the migration of the Sumerian/Chaldean Abraham from the Sumerian city of Ur to the land of the Canaanites took place around the predynastic or early dynastic periods of ancient Egypt, there would still have been no Jews in Egypt at the time -- or anywhere else for that matter. Second, recent scholarship on ancient Egypt has suggested -- concluded, perhaps -- that the pyramids were built by corvees of native Egyptians conscripted into temporary service on the pyramids, probably during the flood season when their labor on the farm could be spared. Managing these labor gangs were professional craftsmen whose villages near the pyramids have been under excavation and study".Ronald Hilton - 9/6/01The pulling of large rocks in ancient Egypt was done by oxen.
Why did many early Americans civilizations build pyraminds?
The theory is the Egyptians built the Pyramids as Tombs and 'machines' designed to transport the soul of the Pharaoh into the Heavens, Sirius the Dog Star, to begin his 'Eternal Life'. Another theory indicates the Egyptians used the Pyramids were used for ritual, not burial, as the Pyramid Texts (Book of the Dead) are not painted on any surface of the Pyramid. Without those spells you cannot enter the Halls of the Gods to be judged.
Why did the Egyptians create mummies and pyramids?
The ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife. they also believed that to get to the afterlife your body must remain on Earth intact. therefore they preserved the body to retain the soul in their Gods heaven. They created mummies because they believed in after life. They knew that the body of their dead people would decay and therefore, the person would go to the after life with either a very ugly appearance or skeleton. By mummifying these dead bodies they made sure that no bacteria is left in the body and it can't decade; so, the person would enter the afterlife with all its beauty.

While my knowledge of ancient Egypt is not perfect I do know that the body had to be pretty much complete in the burial to go into the afterlife, so someone half eaten by a crocodile for example couldn't. That's my understanding.

Who were the pharaohs and what role did they play?
The pharaoh was the high priest of all temples, the head of law and administration, and the commander of the army. The Egyptians believed pharaohs were great people that were half-man and half-god. Since only the pharaoh and priests were allowed to enter temples, Ancient Egyptians had to ask the pharaoh to speak to the gods for them. This made the pharaoh very powerful in the minds of regular Egyptians!
