Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for royalty, ensuring a place for the deceased in the afterlife and reflecting their religious beliefs. The most notable pyramids were constructed during the Old Kingdom, with the Great Pyramid of Giza serving as a prime example of ancient engineering and cultural significance. These monumental structures illustrate the Egyptian dedication to preserving the body and honoring the divine connection between the pharaohs and the gods.
