Pyramids were tombs, royal tombs, where the ancient Egyptians buried their kings. Pyramids were huge. They had rooms inside like store rooms, bedrooms.

Pyramids took many years to build. Cities grew up around the base of a pyramid that was under construction. The pyramids were built as burial places and monuments to the Pharaohs.

As part of their religion, the Egyptians believed that the Pharaoh needed certain things to succeed in the afterlife. Deep inside the pyramid the Pharaoh would be buried with all sorts of items and treasure that he may need to survive in the afterlife.

The walls were often covered with carvings and

paintings.

Near the Pharaoh's chamber would be other rooms where family members and servants were buried.
