Pyramids in ancient Egypt were used as tombs for pharaohs, with hieroglyphs and spells from the Book of the Dead inscribed inside to guide the deceased through the afterlife. Ziggurats, on the other hand, were stepped structures in Mesopotamia used as temples for worship and rituals, not for inscribing prayers like the pyramids.
