Visiting Egypt without seeing the pyramids in Egypt is a strict no for all those going on a tour to Egypt. Known as 'The Land of Pyramids', Egypt has more than 90 royal pyramids that were built by the ancient Egyptians between 2630 B.C and 1530 B.C. Egyptians built these pyramids in order to place the mummies of Egyptian Kings.
Counted among the 'Seven Wonders of the World', Pyramid at Giza was built over 80 years and the credit goes to the 20, 000 to 30, 000 workers who built it. Every care was taken of by the architects who in order to achieve the accurate pyramid shape used to run ropes from the outer corners up to the planned summit, to make sure the stones were positioned correctly. Much of the construction of the pyramids in Egypt probably happened while the River Nile was flooded.

Talking about the Pyramid Shape, many scholars believe that it was an important religious statement for the Egyptians, perhaps symbolizing the slanting rays of the sun. On the other hand some think that the sloping sides were intended to help the soul of the king climb to the sky and join the gods.
