Mycerinus. the pyramids were already more than 2.000 years old when Herodotus the Greek
historian visited them (5th century BC). A highly skilled corps of mathematicians, masons,
surveyors and stonecutters did the job of building the Pyramids. 100,000 slaves were used to carry

the construction of Cheops.
To date 138 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the
country's Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. All Egyptian
pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which as the site of the setting sun was associated
W'ith the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology. The Pyramids contain a maze of passage ways,
designed to protect the Mummies of the Pharaohs and the treasure which they would take to the
