Egyptian Pyramids



The Pyramids were constructed around the year 2630-2611 BC. To build these huge structures they used to have thousands of slaves working on it due that every block of it used to weigh around 2.5 to 15 tonnes. The pyramid was used to be built for the Pharaoh, because he was considered a leader amongst them and that after his death he would return to the Gods from whence he came.  That’s why the people use to structure the pyramids to be built as high as they can to the sky so that it would help the Pharaoh to make his way, sometimes the size of the pyramid depended on how wealthy and powerful the Pharaoh of that time was.  The three largest and still preserved pyramids are located in Giza.





 The world largest museum is the Louvre which is located in Paris. It is an inspiration taken from the pyramids; a four sided triangle. Its design is exactly the same but it is made from metal and glass and a geometrical design. Inside the museum there is the most famous painting every human being ever heard of.
