Pyramids have four triangular sides and are built from stone bricks. Each brick weighs up to 2.5 tons.
The pyramids were built for the pharaohs. Inside the tombs were secret passages and burial chambers. The pyramids were designed to keep the pharaohs body and soul safe for the afterlife.
The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids by hand. Experts think thousands of ordinary people built the pyramids during the rainy season while they couldn't farm. Building the pyramids brought the people of Egypt together knowing they were contributing to the glory of Egypt.
