The pointed shape of the pyramids allowed them to serve as a symbol of the connection between the earthly realm and the heavens in ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. This shape was also believed to help the pharaohs reach the afterlife and ascend to the sky.
Yes, pyramids do cast shadows. The shadow length and orientation depend on the position of the sun and the dimensions of the pyramid. The shadow cast by a pyramid can change throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky.
Satellite TV dishes in the Northern Hemisphere are typically pointed south because the satellites that provide the TV signals are positioned over the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dishes are pointed north for the same reason, as the satellites are still positioned over the equator but appear to be in the northern part of the sky from that perspective.
There are no pyramids on the moon. That is a silly question you f*** b***.
The Big Dipper points towards the North Star, also known as Polaris. This makes it a useful tool for locating the direction of true north in the night sky.
The northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun during the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st. At this time, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky for observers in the northern hemisphere, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year. This positioning leads to colder temperatures and winter conditions in that region.
The pyramids were built as a tomb for the pharaoh and his/her family. The pyramids were shaped as a pyramid because it pointed to the sky and to Aryans belt (the three Star's three kings)). The sky was where the afterlife was so the pyramid pointed to it also the pyramid also mirrored the stars because they believed that the stars were gods from the heavens above. The pyramids was a place for the pharaoh to travel to the afterlife.
Because if they didn't come to a point they wouldn't be a pyramid.

They would topple over otherwise!
Pyramids are tombs. The egyptians wanted the pharaoh to have a good after life. That's why the four walls point to the sky.
Aztec pyramids typically had a flat top where temples were located, while Egyptian pyramids had pointed tops. Additionally, Aztec pyramids were often constructed using adobe bricks and stones, while Egyptian pyramids were built with limestone blocks. The purpose of Aztec pyramids was mainly for religious ceremonies, while Egyptian pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs.
Yes! Three times as many as ancient Egypt - but the pyramids in ancient Kush were not as tall, are steeper and have flat tops rather than pointed
I think No. The pyramids pointed to a star and they belived that the sprit of the dead will go there.
No, infact a pyramid is inside its own group! There are square based pyramids with four sides and triangular based pyramids with 3 sides, each leading to a pointed top.
No one "discovered" it, just like no-one "discovered" the sky. Anyone who has the faintest idea where "Giza" is already knows about the pyramids.
the eygptians builded pyramids because they thought that when people die they need to build pyramids so they can reach the sky and go to heavan. awnsered by tammy and nur grade 5.
