What is the process of building pyramid?
Answer to: 'What is the process of building a pyramid?'
-
They chose a site to make the pyramid on the western side of Egypt where they believed was the dead side where the sun set.
-They then, after choosing the site, built a low wall around it. That site was then flooded with water to loosen the hard ground for making the foundation. The foundation was hard rock chiseled out flat.
-The next thing they did was to cut the blocks they were going to use. They measured them using a string attached to two sticks, to make sure they were all the same size. The blocks were them marked and chiseled out straight and smooth.
-They were then stacked in staggered rows to make a point at the top. Sometimes they left them like that, other times, they took more time to cut out triangular shaped rocks, with a smooth flat edge, and put them onto the staggered blocks, making a smooth flat pyramid

What is the purpose of pyramids being triangle?
Firstly, the pyramids are not shaped like a triangle, they are in the form of the "pyramid shape" because they are 3-dimensional.
Secondly, the shape of Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The shape is also thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly reflective white limestone, in order to give them a brilliant appearance when viewed from a distance. The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens. One of the narrow shafts that extends from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky. This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the deceased pharaoh's soul directly into the abode of the gods.
