We've Covered the different pyramids of Egypt in our Monuments section under the Antiquities page; however, this area is dedicated to the construction and architecture of the pyramids, how they were built, and the evolution in design from the step pyramid to the true pyramid. Beginning with the step pyramids of the 3rd Dynasty, and continuing for centuries, the pyramid is a marvel of construction, and is considered one of the "Seven wonders of the world." The pyramids are the only of these seven that remain standing and intact.
Construction Techniques
The construction techniques that the Egyptians used on the pyramids are,
for the most part, a
mystery; however, this region of the site is dedicated to informing you
of the major ways that scientists theorize the Egyptians could have moved
the large stone blocks used in the formation
of these giants.
