During the Old Kingdom, Egyptians primarily buried their pharaohs in elaborate tombs known as pyramids, with the most famous being the Great Pyramid of Giza. These massive structures were designed to protect the pharaoh's body and possessions in the afterlife, reflecting their belief in immortality. The pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile River, symbolizing the land of the dead. Alongside the pyramids, additional burial sites, such as mastabas, were used for nobles and officials.
The ancient Egyptians built over 130 pyramids, primarily as tombs for their pharaohs and significant figures. The most famous of these is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Pyramids were constructed over several dynasties, with the majority built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
