With the engineering they had available, that was the shape that let them build the biggest and tallest stuff.
people heaved bricks up with ropes to make a pyramid shape
It is an understanding of geometry because when the Egyptian slaves and/or laborers were building the pyramids they needed to make sure that all of the sides were the exact same size and that would require math or geometry to make a 3D figure like a pyramid.
It is in the shape of a pyramid to show at the bottom it is big which gives 10% and then it gives off smaller and then smaller amounts of energy to make the point at the top.
There are many ways to do this :)You could:Make a pyramid out of paperMake a pyramid out of icy-pole sticksGlue together pieces of stones in a pyramid shape
The construction of the Egyptian pyramids varied in duration, depending on the size and complexity of the pyramid. Larger pyramids such as the Great Pyramid of Giza could take around 20 years to build, while smaller pyramids could be completed in a few years.
If this is your homework, than you should do it yourself, but i think you put two together on the ground, and then balance the other one on top. That's if you are talking about a 3d Egyptian shape pyramid, if you are talking about something else- i don't know
Did slaves really make pyramids? The answer is surprisingly, no. Because if slaves did make pyramids, they wouldn't have a grave that was dug. There's also some Egyptian pictograph in the grave that shows some people making bread, making food and most importantly, making the pyramid.
Assuming you mean slide down a pyramid: You could, but not most as they were originally built with rough sides. Egyptiian classical pyramids were covered n smooth hard stone, which the idiot and very culturally primitive Napoleon took from the pyramids to use as a foundation for a causeway he built for his troops (1797?). The earlier Egyptian pyramids were known a step pyramids (mastaba) and did not have smooth sides. Other pyramids built in other countries were also not smooth sided. The Egyptian pyramids were not only therefore impressive in size and shape, but originally shown in the sun with much brilliance due to their polished stone sides. If you mean can you slide a pyramid the answer is yes if you can get enough water under it and freeze it thus making it much easier to slide (problem, such pressure from heavy pyramids would make keeping the water under such weight/pressure very difficult.)
They were built by the pharaohs as their tombs - The Pyramid of Khufu. The Pyramid of Khafre. The Pyramid of Menkaure.
Im sure, if it was an Egyptian, there probably was a crew to assist.
The pyramids were mostly created as a protection for the body in a tomb. The shape provided protection because they were very steep, and the pyramid itself was filled with a maze of pathways and traps to protect the body and tomb.
They stopped making mummies right after they made the biggest pyramid of all. Each king died, the workers had to make a pyramid for each one of time. Some pyramids are hidden in the sand.
