  1. Pyramids By: Dominique Havas

  2. Parts of a Pyramid

  3. Can it be the biggest structure in the world? • Well, no but when the pyramid was built it was 146 meters tall but time has worn the pyramid down to 138 meters tall. Still can’t it be the biggest thing in the world? It’s just for one person and it’s for keeping one tomb.

  4. The Famous Pyramid Blocks • How many blocks are The Great Pyramid made up of, you asked? • 2 million Blocks of lime stone as heavy as 1 ton! How did they carry it up having one block weigh so heavy?! Well that is what makes it so famous.

  5. Building the Pyramid Alone... • That’s preposterous! You can’t build a pyramid alone! You need many people other wise you’ll die trying to even move one block! There are architectures who plan the pyramid, the carvers carve the blocks so they are the right shape and the slaves that build the pyramid by dragging the lime stones up the pyramid.

  6. Know Any of These Pyramids? • 1. The Great Pyramid Khufu • 2. The Centre Pyramid Khafre • 3. The Smallest Pyramid Menkaura • (all from of the names above are the names of the pyramids of Giza)

  7. Why Would you Want to Build a Pyramid? • You don’t have a choice. As long as you are a slave while they are building a pyramid you will have to work until it is done. The pyramids were built to use as a place to keep tombs. They were built for royalty (kings, queens).
