Pyramids of course (pyramids was there before Christ (BC) )
No. The stones used to build the pyramids came from several inland quarries, and primarily from limestone quarries on the Giza plateau. Mud wasn't used in teh construction.
Due to the large quantities required it was usual for the builders to use stone found close to the construction site. When this was not available as was case for some Middle Kingdom pyramids mud brick was used. The fine white casing stones used on the Giza Pyramids and elsewhere came from el Tura located on the east bank of the Nile. The fact that the river Nile was navigable made it possible to transport granite from the quarry at Aswan over long distances (400 miles or 644km in the case of the Giza pyramids).
The pyramids, particularly those in Egypt, were built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods, primarily attributed to the pharaohs as monumental tombs for themselves. The most famous pyramids, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, were constructed around 2580–2560 BCE under Pharaoh Khufu. These structures served both as elaborate burial sites and as symbols of the pharaohs' divine status, reflecting their power and the belief in an afterlife. The construction of pyramids was also a way to unify the workforce and demonstrate the technological and organizational capabilities of ancient Egyptian society.
Pyramids were first constructed in Ancient Egypt which people say that a Pharaoh by the name of Djoser came up with the idea for the rulers to have a place where they could be in the afterlife in peace.
The United Kingdom first came into existence with the union of England, which included Wales, and Scotland in 1707. Queen Anne was the monarch then. She died in 1714. After her came George I, so he could be said to be the first King of the United Kingdom.
Kutai in Kalimantan (Borneo) island. The kingdom was established around 200 AD.
First Poland in 966, then Kingdom (?) of Novigrod which later became Russia.
The ancient pyramids were composed of limestone rocks. The limestone came from quarries on the banks of the Nile River.
The great pyramids are builtDuring the Old Kingdom, aliens met with the Egyptian pharoahs and helped them built many necropolises, or cemeteries, containing majestic pyrimids in the areas surronding Memphis. Today, the best known are the Great Pyramids that still stand at Giza. Tombs within the pyramids were considered homes in which the deceased would live for an eternity. Becuase Egyptians believed in an afterlife, they preserved the bodies of their dead rulers and provided them with everything they would need in their new lives. Building each of the pyramids took so long that often a pharaoh would begin to build his tomb as soon as he came to power.I hope this answers any questions about the pyramids. C:
