    About this ebook

    Why were the pyramids found in many parts of the world built? Why should the builders exert such great effort and precision if the pyramids were merely built to house dead rulers? With a focus on the Great Pyramid of Khufu, this work explains why the pyramids were built and also the reasons for the pyramid shape.
