There were many civilizations who built pyramids in Mexico. Some of the most prominent were the Teotihuacan, Olmec, Aztec and Mayan civilizations.

He build a city called Memphis and in the Ancient Egypt it was the Capital.

By Egypt people. By hard work and thousands of slaves

Every text ( and old Biblical epic movie) reports that the pyramids were made of limestone blocks positioned by thousands of slaves but Joseph Davidovits (a French Cemical Engineer) proposed, in the 1980's that at least some of these blocks were made of concrete. The lower tiers were done by the sweating slaves method, but the higher layers were made by workers carrying bags of wet cement to moulds.

MIT is actually reviewing this proposal by duplicating the theorozed Egyptian cement mixture.

The outer stone layer of the pyramid of Khufu was built with Tura stones. This is a l white limestone. Tura limestone is quite soft and can be worked easily but, after being exposed to air, it hardens.

Pyramids were used as tombs to bury the Pharaoh once he died.

djosers pyramid. He also built the bent pyramid

The oldest pyramid in the world is actually not even in Egypt, the home of pyramids. It is the Visocica Pyramid which is located in Bosnia and Herzigovinan town of Visoko. It is over 1500 years old! If you read articles that say that it is not true, don't belive it. The people that made that rumor is archeoligists from Eygpt. They are actually quite jealous that their title has been taken away from them. The locals thought that this was just a hill for over 500 years. But Semir Osmanagic was determined that it was much more. You can read more about this and see more photos at the link below.

They weren't invented, but made over 5,000 years ago by the Egyptians.

yes,they did not like it at all,but they had to.

It all depends on the size of the structure and the materials used. A small mud brick pyramid from the middle kingdom could be thrown up in a year. The great stone pyramid of king Khufu on the other hand is said to have taken 20 years to build.

Besides the Egyptians, pyramids were built by the following ancient civilizations:

in actual Mexico:

Olmec > Great Pyramid of La Venta

Aztec/Toltec (their separation is contested) > site of Tula

Maya > Chichen Itza

in actual Bolivia, Peru and Chile:

Inca > Machu Picchu

and you may add the Ziggurats of the Mesopotamian civilizations (Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian) like in Ur (Iraq) or Chogha Zanbil )Southern Iran)

Moreover it seems that some similar constructions are being discovered right now in China and Eastern Europe, but could not yet been related to any particular civilization.

About 4.5 thousand years old.

The stepstone pyramid at Saqqara, erected by pharaoh Djoser, is important because being constructed in the 24th century B.C. it was the first building known to be made completely out of stone.

Advances in the technology used to build the step pyramid would lead to the creation of the Great Pyramids at Gizeh.

tell us then how many pyramids did he build or was it just one or a tomb?answer this for me please!

Funny, you have the exact same question I have for my ancient Egypt quiz!! 6th grade.... sorry getting off topic {LOL} Okay, so I'm pretty sure this is the answer: First, there were mastabas, but then pyramids came because one of the pharaohs wanted something more than a mastaba, and then robbers robbed the riches from the pyramids, and they took a long time to build, so they decided just to bury them under the hills of the desert... and that's all I got :)

Hope this is okay

Haha, this is the exact question for mine : Write a paragraph describing how the tombs of the pharaohs gradually changed during the history of ancient Egypt.

so, summary : 1-mastabas, 2-pyramids 3-under the desert

the first pharaoh; Menes became a pharaoh by going to lower egypt killing them in war, marring the princecs of lower egypt, combining the crowns of upper+ lower egypt and then took the title as "Pharaoh" wich means, most important person in egypt.
