Pyramid form

In the history the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for King Khufu. In this enigmatic structure, there are some things that just don’t add up to fit the traditional tomb belief. The Egyptians believed that the world was created on an island known as the mound of creation, and they may have thought that the tall pyramid rising out of the flat desert looked a bit like this island.According to research, the build of pyramid contains a basic unit of sacred measurement, astronomical knowledge, scientific constants, mathematics, and even a chronograph depicting prophecy.As the form of pyramid some of Egypt's earliest graves are marked by a low mound of earth-a small-scale copy of the mound of creation-and it may be that the pyramid is a more developed form of this mound. They might have thought that a ramp or stair-like building would help the spirit of the dead king to travel to the sky, and they may even have thought that the straight sides of the pyramid looked a bit like the sun's rays.Finally, the pyramid, with its wide flat base, was probably the easiest architectural shape to build. But not all pharaohs built pyramids. as example of The kings of the New Kingdom, including Tutankhamen, were buried in secrecy in rock-cut tombs.
