The limestone casing stones of the pyramids originally had a white color. Over time, erosion, pollution, and natural weathering caused the stones to darken and turn brown. Additionally, the removal of the casing stones by humans for use in other structures also contributed to the pyramids losing their white color.
Yes, limestone quarries were used to extract the stones needed to build the pyramids in ancient Egypt. The most famous quarry used for this purpose is the Tura quarry, located near Cairo, which provided the fine white limestone used for the outer casing of the pyramids. Other quarries, such as those at Giza and Aswan, also supplied the necessary stones for construction.
Pyramids in Egypt were covered in polished white limestone to reflect the rays of the sun and shine brightly, symbolizing the Pharaoh's connection to the gods and the afterlife. This smooth casing also symbolized the perfection and eternal nature of the pharaoh's rule in the eyes of ancient Egyptians.
The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids by using a combination of manpower, simple tools like sledges and ramps, and a system of organization and planning. Stones were quarried and transported to the construction site, where they were carefully stacked to form the pyramids of various shapes and sizes. It is believed that the construction process involved thousands of workers, mostly skilled laborers and craftsmen.
The stone that was used to build the pyramids, particularly the Great Pyramid of Giza, was quarried from nearby sources. The limestone came from quarries along the Nile River, mainly on the east bank, while the granite used for certain parts of the pyramids came from Aswan, located further south. Workers would transport the stone using boats and sledges, taking advantage of the river's proximity to the construction sites.
The colors commonly found in globes are blue for water, green/brown for land, and white for snow/ice. These colors represent the natural elements of Earth: blue for oceans and seas, green/brown for landmasses and vegetation, and white for polar regions and high-altitude snow.
Yellowish brown and white will make a lighter yellowish brown color. White lightens colors, but doesn't change the hue. It may make it easier to see the yellow undertones when the color is lighter.

Yes, your hair can change color as you age. Some people's hair turns from blond to brown, some brown to white or grey. As you grow older you yourself will mostlikely notice a change in your hair. == == == ==
Snowshoe hares change color with the season. They turn brown in the summer and white in the winter. The color change helps to camouflage the hare all year round. If it should snow before the rabbit turns white, the brown coat would make them stand out against the white snow.
