Many believe that pharaohs stooped building pyramids because of the extreme labor it took to build them but no one is completely certain.
Pyramids were built as a resting place for deceased pharaohs. The ancient Egyptians believed that the dead would eventually come back to life which is why they left them with prized possessions. Workers prepared the bodies before leaving them to rest and took out the brain because they believed it had no real importance :-)
The pyramids are huge and wonderful sight to see, they are one of the seven wonders of the world, but it had chambers for the burial of the dead pharaohs.
