When were the pyramids built?
Ancient Egypt AnswerThe pyramids in Egypt were built during the reign of various Pharoahs dating from around 2700 BC to 1500 BC. The exact dates are estimates, because records of the time were often incomplete or conflicting.There are more than 138 recorded pyramids that still exist in Egypt. The Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid at Darshur are among the oldest, built by the pharoah Snofru (Sneferu)who ruled from about 2613 BC to 2589 BC.The three best-known pyramids are at Giza (the location of the Sphinx) and were built later. The Great Pyramid (aka the Pyramid of Khufu) was likely completed around 2540 BC.Later pyramids were built of lesser size and durability, and many have been partly or completely lost over time._________________________________________________________Additional AnswerIt actually depends on which pyramids you are referring to. The Egyptians were not the only civilisation to construct vast pyramids and certainly were not the first either. If you are referring to the Ancient Egyptians, the above answer is correct.However ...The Mayans are another great example of pyramid builders. Building a pyramid in the Mayan Empire was so much more difficult than building pyramids in Egypt, because the Mayans had to somehow travel with huge stones through deadly rainforests teeming with obstacles and predators. How they managed to do that is still a mystery to us.The Mayan temples began to appear at the height of the Mayan Empire. The oldest Mayan pyramid according to archaeological carbon dating, dates back to around 3,000BC. Which is older than the Egyptian pyramids.Aztec pyramids, also known as Mesoamerican pyramids, were built around 1100AD. Aztec pyramids were not only built for religious reasons, but they were also built to be the centre of their cities, symbolising the "mountain of the city" which, in Aztec belief, brings wealth and fertility to the citizens.The Ancient Mesopotamians, Ancient Assyrians and Ancient Sumerians also built pyramid-like structures called Ziggurats.Ziggurats were generally religious temples influenced by astronomy.Ziggurats began to appear around 2,200BC.Ancient Babylonians are also known to have built an incredible pyramid called Etemenankia. However this structure has become a victim of time and conflict, being reduced now to just a few columns and the multi-coloured base that the pyramid once stood on. Therefore we do not know much about the Babylonian pyramid or how old it is.The Ancient Chinese also built pyramid mounds above burial chambers of their emperors, full of terracotta armies and treasures. The Ancient Chinese pyramids were mostly made from dirt, therefore carbon dating on the older Chinese pyramids is pretty much useless, since the dirt obviously existed before the pyramids did. Many of the Chinese pyramids were purposefully surrounded by trees and vegetation to camouflage them into their surroundings. Because of this, many hundreds of Chinese pyramids remain hidden today or even completely destroyed by nature itself. The oldest Chinese pyramid was built in around 1,050BC. However, as stated above, carbon dating on these pyramids are very difficult.The Igbo people of Nigeria built pyramids known as Nsude Pyramids, to honour their god, Uto. Carbon dating is too difficult to perform on these pyramids, as they were mostly made of mud and clay.The Ancient Greeks also built pyramids, though most no longer survive.The Greek Pyramid of Hellinikon was built as a tomb for Greek soldiers who died in the legendary battle for the throne of Argos.There was also a pyramid built for Argives, who was killed in a battle around 669BC, but that has been lost.Greek pyramids are believed to have originated around 2,000 BC.Nubian pyramids in Sudan were built as burial grounds for kings and queens. They are steeper than Egyptian pyramids. There are at least 255 pyramids in Sudan (Egypt only has 138). They were believed to have first been built in 2600BC.Ancient Koreans build pyramids to bury their prestigious leaders. Dangun, the founder of Ancient Korea (then known as Gojoseon) is buried in a pyramid. The oldest carbon dating on Korean pyramids seems to point to 668 BC.The Ancient Romans are known to have built pyramid-structures, such as the Pyramid of Cestius, which is a tomb for Gaius Cestius. Most Roman pyramids have now been destroyed, but we believe they were used to bury important people. They originated around the end of the 1st century BC.The Chola Empire, which is now Southern India, built granite pyramids for religious worship. They are still in use today by modern Indians. They were built around the 3rd century BC onwards.Ancient inhabitants of Indonesia built step-pyramids structures. They were built because of the native belief that mountains and high places are abodes for the spirits of their ancestors. They were built around the 8th century.Around 3000-2500 BCalong time ago in 2650BC the step pyramid of king Djoser at saqarraBetween 2600BC and 2480BC
How many pyramids have been built?
AnswerWe certainly know that the Pyramids existed because they're still with us. Rising out of the desert sands, the Pyramids of Egypt stand as a monument to the skill and determination of the Egyptian pharaohs and their ability to get thousands of people to do hard labor for generations. Huge blocks of rock were cut from places many miles away and taken by boat to Giza and other places where pyramids were being built. The slaves used a series of logs rolling on the ground to move the giant stones. Then, they put them in place as parts of a pyramid.The first pyramids were called "Step Pyramids" because they looked like giant steps. The pyramids we most recognize today, the smooth ones, were built later.The Pyramids were built over a period of many years. The first great pyramid was ordered built by King Khufu (or Cheops), about 2600 B.C. This is the Great Pyramid, near Giza. It is 481 feet tall and 755 feet wide at each base. Historians believe that about 100,000 workers slaved away for more than 20 years to build this one pyramid.Other pyramids followed, ordered built by other pharaohs. Historians still don't know how many pyramids were built in all because they are always finding remains of others beneath the constantly blowing sands of the Sahara Desert.See pyramids-1for lots more useful information.AnswerAll of Egypt's pyramids are sited on the west bank of the Nile and most are grouped together in a number of pyramid fields.The German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-84) produced the first modern list of pyramids in 1842. He identified 67. A great many more have since been discovered, in November 2008 118 pyramids had been identified. The location of Pyramid 29 for example, the so-called "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands subsequent to Lepsius' survey. It was only rediscovered again during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008.Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation or buried by desert sands. If visible at all they may appear as little more than mounds of rubble. As archaeological techniques improve Egyptologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures.The most recent pyramid to be discovered is that of Queen Sesheshet, mother of 6th Dynasty Pharaoh Teti, located at Saqqara. The discovery was announced by the Egyptian Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.There are of course hundreds of other pyramids around the world, outside of Egypt. Sudan alone has 220 existing pyramids, and there are hundreds more in the Middle East and Central and South America. In fact, the world's largest pyramid is actually in Mexico. Then of course, there is no time limit so it is not limited to Ancient times.

How were Egyptian pyramids historically built?
Nobody knows for sure how they were built. Theories concerning their construction include: Herodotus (c.450 B.C.) a Greek travel writer (perhaps the first) and historian who was told by his native guide that it took 100,000 slaves 20 years to build. According to the guide machines using planks and ropes were used to raise the blocks. The slave theory has persisted to the present day although the machines was replaced by slaves pulling sledges up a ramp. Numbers range from over 300,000 to 10,000. The identity of the slaves vary from black Nubian slaves (Nubia is located where Sudan is today) to the Israelites of Exodus. The Israelite theory can be dismissed as the date of the Exodus (if it actually took place) was over a 1000 years since the Giza pyramids were built and 300 years after the last Pharaoh was buried in a pyramid. Since WWII slaves were replaced by peasant farmers recruited during the inundation, about three months when the fields are flooded and no work is possible on the land. A body of skilled workers were retained all year long preparing for the big push during the flood season. Atlanteans or aliens using some advanced and lost technology built the Giza pyramids long before the ancient Egyptian civilisation got started. The later pyramids are just poor copies made by the Egyptians. It must be admitted the post-Giza pyramids are inferior in size and standard of construction. This does not imply that the Giza complex was built by some superior technological civilisation. War, famine, economics, political upheaval and changes in religious practices are rather more mundane and likely causes. There are also earlier pyramids such as the step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara (c.2650BC); and the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dashur which show the evolution of pyramid construction.
How many pyramids did slaves build?
It is estimated that slaves built many pyramids in ancient Egypt, with the exact number varying depending on the time period and location. The most famous pyramids, such as those at Giza, were built during the Old Kingdom period mainly by skilled workers rather than slaves.
Did the egyptians invent pyrimads?
It is generally agreed that ancient Egyptians did in fact build the pyramids, but there are some alternate theories. One of the most popular is that when the city of (legendary) Atlantis was flooded that the escapees ran and settled in Egypt before it was civilized. The theory says that the Atlantians built the pyramids as a remembrance for their lost city and those lost with it.
