Pyramids

Today in Social Studies we learnt about pyramids so we built pyramids out of lego.

Pyramids were used for burial places and monuments. They also put treasure inside of them so to keep out robbers they would put traps inside. There are over 138 pyramids and the tallest is 480 feet tall, called The Great Pyramid of Giza or Khufu. They were made step like but gradually got flatter. The base of the pyramid was always made a square. They would build pyramids on the west side of the River Nile because the Northside was the land of the dead.
