 The Pyramids / pirəmid/ of Egypt ['i:dʒipt] are among The

Seven Wonders of the World. These massive stone structures were built

around 4500 years ago. There are 138 (one hundred and thirty-eight)

pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008. The three largest and

best-preserved were built in Giza (['ɡi:zə]) on the outskirts of

Cairo(['kaiərəu]). In the initial days of the kingdom, Egyptians([i:'dʒipʃənz])

built tombs which had flat-roofed structures called Mastabas(['mæstəbə]).

It was only later when the economy flourished and state strengthened, that

they began building the pyramids/ pirəmid/.

It is believed that most of the pyramids were built during the Old Kingdom

and Middle Kingdom period. Pharaohs ['fɛro] ruled Egypt from 3000 BC to 30

['θə:ti] BC. The earliest pyramid discovered is called “Pyramid of Djoser”

in Saqqara, estimated to be built during 2630 BC to 2611 BC. This was built

in the third dynasty of Pharaoh. The pyramids built in the 3rd and 4th

dynasty were large and tall structures. Later the pyramids became small

in structure and were hastily built. This was due to the weakened economic

condition of the kingdom, which was plagued by famine and foreign and

domestic conflicts in its last days.

The ancient Egyptians believed that death on earth was the start of new

life, a new journey into to the next world. They believed that when a

pharaoh died, he became king of the dead. They believed that some parts

of the dead pharaoh’s spirit remain with his body. They believed that

if the dead pharaoh is not given proper care, he would not be able to carry

out his duties as the king of the dead and as result a curse would fall

on Egypt and upon the next living Pharaoh. In order to prevent any such

disaster the dead pharaoh was mummified. Food, stones, gold and furniture

were also placed in the pyramids along with the mummy so that the Pharaoh

was able to perform his duties as king of dead. The largest Egyptian pyramid belongs to the Pharaoh Khufu and is the also

among the only seven ancient wonders of the world still in existence. There

are 2.3 million stone blocks in this pyramid and each block weighs an

average of 2.5 to 15 tons each. The king's chamber is accessed via the

Grand Gallery and the pyramid has three burial chambers. An estimated

20,000 to 30,000 workers built the Pyramids at Giza over 80 years and the

latest research reveals that it could have taken workers between two to

two and a half minutes to set each block.

It is still unclear who built the pyramids, but the research has also

revealed that the pyramids were not built by slaves but by paid labourers,

who had firm faith in the divinity and immortality [,ɪmɔr'tæləti] of their

Pharaohs.

Historians and architects are still struggling to find out how such great

structures were built 4000 years ago in the absence of the latest machinery

and technology available today. Unfortunately, despite efforts to protect

the remains of Kings the pyramids were plundered by robbers long ago.

The food pyramid is a visual representation of how different food

groups contribute to a healthy diet. At the base of the pyramid are

the food groups that should be consumed in the largest quantities,

such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods provide

essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that are important for overall

health. Moving up the pyramid, the next level includes protein

sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, and beans. Proteins are

important for building and repairing tissues in the body. Following

that are the dairy products, which are a good source of calcium for

strong bones and teeth. Lastly, at the top of the pyramid are the fats,

oils, and sweets, which should be consumed in moderation. These

foods provide energy but can also lead to weight gain and other

In the vast landscape of architecture, Ieoh Ming Pei's

Pyramid stands as a beacon of modernity and tradition

merged into a singular masterpiece. The pyramid, a symbol

of ancient Egyptian civilization, is transformed by Pei's

ingenious hands into a contemporary icon, embodying the

essence of both the past and the future.

Born in China and educated in the West, Pei's

architectural philosophy is a harmonious blend of Eastern

and Western aesthetics. His pyramid, a striking feature of

the Louvre Museum in Paris, is a testament to this

philosophy. The structure, while seemingly simple, is

actually a complex interplay of lines, angles, and spaces

that create a dynamic and arresting visual experience.

The pyramid's exterior is composed of glass and steel,

materials that are both modern and durable. The transparent

The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the

Pyramid of Cheops, is one of the most famous and well-known structures in

the world. It is located in Giza, Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile River, and

is thought to have been built around 2550 BC.

The pyramid is part of a larger complex that includes two other large

pyramids, smaller pyramids, and several temples and tombs. It was originally

covered in smooth white limestone, though most of that has been removed

over time, giving the pyramid its current appearance of a rough, stepped

structure.

The Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, who ruled

during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. It is the oldest and largest of

the three pyramids at Giza, standing nearly 147 meters tall (481 feet) and

containing an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks, each weighing an average of
