Are pyramids supposed to be flat?

How were Pyramids built?

Pyramids are giant triangular shaped buildings that were tombs for special Egyptian kings called Pharaohs.

Pharaohs planned these pyramids for when they die as a burial place. They ordered giant workforces of around 11,000 workers to build at least one pyramid. They started with pyramids with steps on them, but later on they gained the knowledge to mould limestone to make smooth, angled shapes to form pyramids. The workers worked for days, weeks, months and even years to make the pyramids.

Finally, when they were done, their Pharaoh ordered it as his own burial ground for himself. If not, his other family members. They mostly bury gold weapons and tools with them because they think they need it in the afterlife.

Pyramids lasts for thousands of years and some lay undiscovered, waiting for explorers to find the treasure within them and learn about the life of the Egyptians.
