Why did the Egyptians make pyramids not houses?

Answer 1

because the Egyptian gods were buried inside them - this is wrong

The Pharohs were buried in the pyramids. The Pyramids were like a memorial to the dead Pharoh. Also, it was so the gods would find the pyramid so theycould carry then pharohs soul to the afterlife for judgement

Answer 2

the ancient Egyptians believed that it was important to be buried properly. A proper burial would allow them to live again in the afterlife. Thus, most people who could afford to, spent a lot of time and effort making sure that they would be buried well. Most ordinary ancient Egyptians were probably buried in the desert. Their relatives would wrap their body in a simple cloth and bury it with some everyday objects and food. Those with more wealth would be able to afford a better burial. The graves of some craftsmen and workers have been found containing a mummified body as well as bread, fruit, amulets and furniture for the afterlife. the pharaohs were the richest and most respected of all classes.therefore pyramids were built as a mark of respect.these pyramids had innumerable chambers and tunnels to trick tomb raiders.though bodies were mummified and buried in magnificent tombs,pyramids were built around them.

Answer 3

The Egyptians began using hidden tombs instead of pyramids because pyramids were super easy to see and thus being more likely to get raided of jewels. So, the Egyptians used hidden tombs so the treasures inside tombs wouldn't likely be raided.

Answer 4

The egyptians started to build tombs instead of pyramids, because there were many people who would steal the riches in the pyramids. With the king in the tomb, the riches would be safe.

Answer 5

The Egyptians did have houses - the pyramids were built as tombs for their dead pharoahs, and were supposed to inspire awe in all who glanced upon them.
