Pyramid

Pyramid is a structure in which all outer surfaces (including base) is triangular and converge at one point. Base of the pyramid can be triangular, quadrilateral, or polygon shape, which means that the pyramid has at least three triangular surfaces (at least four faces, including the base). Square pyramid, with a square base and four triangular outer surface, is the common version.
Pyramids of Egypt is a historical relic site is very impressive and exotic. In 2008 there were 138 pyramids found in Egypt. Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest and the oldest. As we know the pyramids were built as tombs for the Pharaohs and his wife, but also for the treasury. Besides the pyramids in the complex there is also a sphinx is a statue of a lion-headed man. In Egypt alone there are places where tourism is very worth visiting such as the Luxor, Alexandre, Cairo and others. Besides being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, exotic and amazing, these places also have historical value.
Most pyramids are located near Cairo, with only one royal pyramid being located south of Cairo, at the Abydos temple complex. The pyramid at Abydos, Egypt were commissioned by Ahmose I who founded the 18th Dynasty and the New Kingdom.
The building of pyramids began in the 3rd Dynasty with the reign of King Djoser. Early kings such as Snefru built several pyramids, with subsequent kings adding to the number of pyramids until the end of the Middle Kingdom. The last king to build royal pyramids was Ahmose,  with later kings hiding their tombs in the hills, like in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor's West Bank.
In Medinat Habu, or Deir el-Medina, smaller pyramids were built by individuals. Smaller pyramids were also built by the Nubians who ruled Egypt in the Late Period, though their pyramids had steeper sides.
