The first pyramid in Egypt was built as the burial place of King Djoser in 2630 B.C. It is called the Step Pyramid because it rises in steps. It was designed as a giant stairway for Djoser to climb to the sun-god in the sky.
King Sneferu developed the Great Pyramid with sloping sides. It was meant to represent the mound that emerged out of the water at the beginning of time. The sun-god was said to have stood on this mound and created the other gods and goddesses.
The largest Pyramid is the Great Pyramid at Giza, which was built for King Khufu in 2528 B.C. It is made up of 2.3 million limestones. It is taller than The Statue of Liberty in New York.
The pharaohs stopped building pyramids in 2150 B.C. Instead they were buried in tombs in the cliffs of the Valley of the Kings. The tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered almost completely untouched by robbers in 1922. Inside were weapons, clothes, jewellery, musical instruments, model boats and the king’s famous gold coffins and his mask.
