The ancient Greek historian Herodotus is often credited with starting a false rumor about the builders of the pyramids. He claimed that the pyramids were constructed using slave labor, specifically asserting that the workforce consisted of thousands of slaves. Modern archaeology and historical research have since debunked this notion, indicating that the pyramids were likely built by skilled laborers who were well-fed and respected for their work.
The trend of building pyramids in ancient Egypt is generally attributed to Pharaoh Djoser, who reigned during the Third Dynasty around 2670 BCE. He commissioned the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, which is considered the first large-scale stone structure and marked a significant architectural advancement. Djoser's pyramid laid the foundation for later, more refined pyramids, including those at Giza. This innovation reflected the evolving beliefs in the afterlife and the divine status of the pharaoh.
We know the Ancient Egyptians did it and it probably started long before that.

No, they started around the time of the ancient Egyptian Pyramids.
2550 b.c.
Since the Ancient Egyptians no longer wanted to make pyramids because it took so long, they started to make tombs instead. As you may or may not know, the pyramids took as long as 20 years to make.Hopefully this helped you out :)
It is not known how they started. The ancient historian, Nicholas of Damascus Livy said that the legislators were of Etruscan origin. The ancient Roman historian Livy said that the first held in 310 BC by the Campanians Who lived on the plain near Naples in celebration of their victory over the Samnites who lived on the nearby mountains. Recent evidence suggest that they originated from Campania.
The Great Pyramid in Egypt is listed as one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Construction started on the pyramid in 2540 B.C.
They did not they just found a location and started to build
Egyptian was the culture that first started the pyramids so that is the answer.
The modern era
Funny, you have the exact same question I have for my ancient Egypt quiz!! 6th grade.... sorry getting off topic {LOL} Okay, so I'm pretty sure this is the answer: First, there were mastabas, but then pyramids came because one of the pharaohs wanted something more than a mastaba, and then robbers robbed the riches from the pyramids, and they took a long time to build, so they decided just to bury them under the hills of the desert... and that's all I got :) Hope this is okay Haha, this is the exact question for mine : Write a paragraph describing how the tombs of the pharaohs gradually changed during the history of ancient Egypt. so, summary : 1-mastabas, 2-pyramids 3-under the desert
