The three pyramids of Giza were ordered built by Pharaoh Khufu as his tomb. It was to protect his body and possessions. The pyramids represent Egypt's wealth and power. Today, the pyramids represent the rich history and culture of Egypt.

Who built the Pyramid at Giza?

The Great Pyramids at Giza were built for three 4th dynasty pharaohs: khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. The best known is the pyramid of Khufu (reigned 2589-66BC) as it is biggest (480ft high and 750 ft each side at the base). Not that they did any of the works themselves. This was done by his architects, surveyors, scribes, craftsmen (masons, carpenters, ropemakers, smiths and quarrymen) and thousands of (most likely naked) slave labourers.

Who made the pyrimids?

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:
