Pyramids

With cement or bricks and then since we have all the technoligy to build them.

It was built by the grandson of Khufu Menkurae

yes the great pyramids are bigger than the empire state building.

The purpose of the Egyptian pyramids was for the pharaohs to have a place where wild animals, grave robbers, and the floods of the Nile didn't have effect on the body. When first built, the pyramids were white, being made out of limestone, reflected light. To the Egyptians this pleased sun god, Ra, so once the pyramid was done being built the pharaoh would " make a connection" with Ra. Once the pharaoh died he/she would be put to rest in that same pyramid for his/her life

Most of the work was done by peasant farmers conscripted during the inundation of the river Nile when work was not possible in the fields. The Pharaoh was able to call upon this pool of labour for months at a time without disrupting the national economy and without having to provide more than basic subsistence. The majority of these men, if not all, would have been naked. This system of temporary forced labour or corvée was little more than slavery, supported by a system of harsh punishments designed to deter anyone from deserting.

No some fundamentalist Christians attribute the great pyramid to Job. It was actually built by Khufu (reigned c.2589-66BC) the first Pharaoh of the 4th dynasty.

The first pyramid built was the Pyramid of Djoser in 2750 BC at the Saqqara necropolis to the northwest of the city of Memphis in Egypt.

The pyramid is predominately made of limestone blocks weighing an average of 2.5 tons. This was quarried locally at the base of the pyramid. The waste material from this quarrying was mixed with Tafla (a type of clay) and used to make the ramps used in the construction of the pyramid. There is some evidence to suggest that some of the quarries were filled in with the material from the dismantled ramps when the pyramid was completed.

The linings for the passageways and the burial chambers were made from Granite brought from Aswan 400 miles upriver from Giza. The pyramid originally had a smooth casing of white stone from Tura on the east bank of the Nile.

The youngest of the Egyptian pyramids in 2578 years old. It was constructed for the Pharaoh Taharqa in 664 B.C. in Nuri.

To determine the surface area of a period (right rectangular), there is a unique formula. It is lw+l to the square root of w/2 squared + h squared + w square root of (l/2) squared + h squared. L=Length, W=Width, H=Height.

The cap stone or pyramidion was usually made from granite. It was either polished and inscribed or covered in a layer of gold.

it is made out of steel

how should we know, you haven't included a picture of the paper pyramid

The foods that are at the top of the pyramid (fats) are the foods that you shouldn't eat so much of (that's why it's so small). The foods at the bottom of the pyramid (carbs) they recommend you eat the most of (that's why it's so big).

They used chisels made from copper. Although softer than iron or steel it can be case-hardened by heating and quenching in water. A chisel treated this way lasted for about a hundred blows. Then it had to be sharpened and rehardened by a smith who worked on site to ensure a constant supply to the quarry workers.

The primary source of stone was located usually close by the pyramid site. The most probable mode of transport was the sledge hauled by slaves pulling ropes made from papyrus reeds or palm fronds. The bigger the stone the more slaves required to haul it.

they are tombs { big graves for imporyant people for the spirits to take }

philology

Pyramids and mastabas are alike in that they were both the final resting places for the royalty and nobility of ancient Egypt. Mastabas were the first step toward the development of pyramids. The first step pyramids were several mastabas stacked on top of each other. Each level was slightly smaller then the first.

I don't think they were built earthquake proof but their sheer bulk of gravity make them so. The Giza pyramids, for example, have withstood a number of earthquakes in their time without significant damage. Some of the later mud brick pyramids have collapsed but I am not sure this is due to earthquakes, erosion or just bad construction.

The great pyramid was built over a period of 10-60 years (depending on the source), by Pharaoh Khufu (and his successors) around 2550 B.C. There is no evidence that this original and biggest Egyptian pyramid, was ever used, or ever intended to be used, as a tomb of any kind.
