Giza Necropolis

Giza Necropolis

The Giza pyramids and others are thought to have been constructed to house the remains of the decreased Pharaohs who ruled over the great civilized ancient Egypt. Most construction theories are based on the idea that the pyramids were built by moving huge stones/mud-brick from a quarry and transporting those stones so that they could be lifted and placed into place. The pyramids are made out of mud-brick however was developed and made with stone in later stages. It was constructed so that it has an underground floor to store the tombs and treasure of the Pharaohs to show respect to them. It took 400,000 men 20 years to build.
