What is the purpose of the Egyptian pyramids?

Answer 1

These pyramids meant a lot to the Egyptians. The pyramids were made for either the king or queens tomb. They wanted them so big and huge to show how great, strong, and powerful they were. The Egyptians did so much for the kings and queens because they believed that in their afterlife they will become one of the great gods or goddesses. That's why in their tomb there is so much gold and riches. The shape of the pyramid shows that it comes to a point at the top which is where the pharaohs sit. The slaves are at the bottom. There is one king/queen that's why there isn't much room on top as bottom. There are more slaves so that's why they are on the bottom and there's more room. Everyone in between are either more or less people. That's what the pyramids mean to the Egyptians.
