Nope. They're VERY different. Egyptian pyramids were made as tombs for royalty, while Mayan pyramids were made as religious temples. The above answer does not relate to the question.
I think it's because they almost exactly line up
about 2.5 tonnes although some of the largest blocks used on the Great Pyramid of king Khufu weighed up to 70 tonnes
The Egyptians buried there dead in small sand dunes inside the desert. They still did this after pyramids for pyramids were only made for the wealthy. Also the pyramids were only made around the early ancient Egypt, and they switched over to chambers underneath the ground because of grave robbers. Most grave robbers still found a way into these but mysteriously King Tuts tomb was found, not by grave robbers, but by 20th century Egyptologists. I know this is more than you asked but it never hurts to know a little more! Resources: I've been searching up this for a little over a month.
yes..There was a lot of unskilled hard back-breaking work such as quarrying, dragging the stones up the ramp and putting them in place which was done by slaves.
They were hauled up ramps, using papyrus twine.
The Egyptian pyramids are constructed from limestone.
they thought it would bring the pharaoh up to heaven
Hieroglyphs were used as words in the time of the Egyptian Pyramids
Ziggurats are terraced pyramids with successively receding sides, while the Egyptian pyramids (the later ones anyway) have smooth sides going up to a paint. Also Ziggurats are temples while the pyramids are burial grounds.
people heaved bricks up with ropes to make a pyramid shape

great pyramids are the largest cemetry of the egyptian kings or queens which are made up by several methods,,,,,,,,their hieght is nearly above100ft,,,,,,,,,
They used scaffolding to keep it up while being built and when it was finished the scaffolding was taken down and the inside was decorated.
Simple reason being, the Pyramids was build in a period of time with technology as you see today. Also no one knows how Egyptians build the pyramids. Maybe you have to see your self to believe how amazing the pyramids are. I am Egyptian btw(:
