It is known as Egyptian pyramids to one of the most perfect and impressive architectural works that human beings have managed to build, throughout history. It should also be noted that they are considered the only wonders of the ancient world that still stand to date, this is due to the perfection with which they were built, their magnificent size and their impressive shape.
These structures were a characteristic type of monument in ancient Egypt, and were built for strictly religious purposes. The pyramids were built so that the pharaohs could be kept in the chambers that were located inside them while waiting for the day of the final judgment to be received in the world of spirits.
Experts say that its construction was carried out by slaves and was based mainly on a simple appeal of stone blocks, however, this theory has now been questioned. Since there is the hypothesis that there were many sectors of Egyptian society that collaborated for the construction of these buildings. On the other hand, in terms of infrastructure, it required much more than a simple stacking, since otherwise it would not have survived.
Inside the pyramids there are generally routes through very narrow and small tunnels which lead to the main chamber, which is located in the center of it. On the internal walls you can see incredible hieroglyphs engraved on the stone which had a religious meaning. It is probable that the pyramids had this shape since it allowed human beings to be a little closer to the gods and the spiritual plane.
The pyramids have been characteristic constructions of many cultures apart from the Egyptian. The most renowned are the pyramids of Giza, located in Egypt, those of Teotihuacán, in Mexico, the Chichen Itzá also located in Mexico, the Inca pyramids in Peru and many like those many others.
