HISTORY OF EGYPT
 how the pyramids were created?
• Researchers at the
University of Amsterdam
have discovered that the
ancient Egyptians used a
cunning trick that helped
them build the pyramids:
they moistened the sand

dragged wooden sleds
loaded with blocks,

 How and for what were the pyramids built?
• The pyramids were funerary
monuments, that is, tombs in
which pharaohs were buried to
facilitate their journey to heaven
in the form of stars and to allow
their essence to last forever in
the form of these monumental
constructions.
• The pyramids arose in Egypt
because that shape is very
distinctive of the solar religion
of the pharaohs, in which Ra -
god of the Sun - was the father
of all pharaohs and had created
himself from a pyramid-shaped
mound in the earth.
