Best Answer

Not all pyramids were made from mud. The earlier pyramids such as the pyramids at Giza were made from stone. Later pyramids were made from mud bricks cased in stone. The stone casing did afford some protection from elements. Many of these pyramids where the casing has been removed or collapsed are often just shapeless heaps of dried mud.

Are the pyramids in Giza triangular based?

The pyramids in Egypt are designed with a square bottom and triangular sides that come together to form... well... pyramids. There are many different styles of pyramids, as we have discovered through observation of each individual monument. The reasons for these changes are still unclear, but we generally have a good idea of why they are shaped the way they are base off of simple observation. For example, the "bent" pyramid is likely the way it is because its base was just too big for the design. Did you know that pyramids are not found only in Egypt? ~Apple Juice
