The Great Pyramids were the final resting place of the bodies of high ranking eqyptians before they past to the afterlife. In the pyramids there would be everything the deceased would need to enjoy the afterlife. These things would often consit of food, clothes, slaves! and their fourtune.

use your general knowledge for that one Finti!
how do you think they were built?
lots and lots of slaves were used to move the blocks of limestone/granite.

Yerss, its Giza and give me a chance to check that one, what I ment was ask me about most general things about Anicent Eqypt.
you know, religion, hieroglyphs etc.
Well this is debatable cause new research doubt the fact of slaves building the pyramids, and there were no Hebrew slaves either. (just to question some bible stories )
I saw something on Discovery on this subject but I cant remeber exactly what was said, but they had a theory besides the slaves building the pyramids. Something more like it was common egyptians building them.
Actually dating of the Pyramids is fairly accurate, give or take 200 years. We know for a FACT(!!!!) that the Great Pyramid was built for Kofu (also known by the GReek name Cheops). And yes, it was built as a burial monument. And yes it was completely empty. Grave robbers probably emptied the place.
Trust me, there's not SO much mystery about the pyramids as illustrious researchers as Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and George West are trying to make us believe.
How they built it? Well, probably by a lot of WORKMEN (NOT slaves!!!!! - this has been proven by the workman's villages that have been discovered near the pyramids) and huge ramps. The one I like and seems most probable is that they built a ramp of sand circling around the pyramid as they got higher and higher. Once they were at the top, they worked their way down again as they applied the smooth white plaster casing stones, that made the pyramid shine like the sun. This plaster may even have featured hieroglyphs but there's no much concrete evidence to support that. So for everyone who's new to this: the pyramids were once entirely white. What a sight that must have been.
