paste it in a sheet of paper. Then, write an essay about how the chosen invention impacted the people
and the society during that time period it was made. See Appendix B.1 for the rubric.

Pyramid
A pyramid is a structure, usually of stone, built in the shape of a pyramid. From ancient to modern times
people in many different parts of the world have built such structures. The word “pyramid” comes from
the Greek word pyramis which meant “wheat cake.” The ancient Egyptian word for them was something
like “Mer”.

Pyramids today stand as a reminder of the ancient Egyptian glorification of life after death,
and in fact, the pyramids were built as monuments to house the tombs of the pharaohs. Death was
seen as merely the beginning of a journey to the other world.

Pyramids were built for religious purposes. The Egyptians were one of the first civilizations
to believe in an afterlife. They believed that a second self called the ka lived within every human being.
When the physical body expired, the ka enjoyed eternal life.

Construction materials evident in the pyramids are still made use of today. For instance,
slow-setting gypsum mortar was used to lubricate, move and set the stones in place. Gypsum mortar,
made from plaster and sand, is still relied on today to create structures in drier parts of the world.
