About the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Structure......?

Question

Me and my parents have been wondering....

When the Ancient Egyptians built the Pyramids, was it just a big stone triangle with corridors in it, or was there an outline of stone with sand in it?

Like the Pyramid would be hollow, except they put sand or dirt in it?

Answer 1

The first Egyptian Pyramids were built in the Early Dynastic Period in the 3rd Dynasty-Djoser 2649-2575bc. In this period the step pyramid was built.My favorite Pyramid is the Giza Pyramids,the Great Pyramid (King Khufu) is more than 45 centuries ago, it measures about 756 feet. The difference between the longest and the shortest sides is only 7.9 inches. Not very bad for a man-made mountain of some 2,300,000 stones averaging about 5,000 pounds each, soaring to the height of 481 feet, and the pyramid was built without modern tools. The Pyramid took 23 years of construction with tens of thousands of laborers. The Pyramid mounds represents creation, the Sun was the beacon calling kings to the Eternal Life in a higher world. The Egyptians amended their belief that the spirit of their king climbing to the heavens on the symbolic steps and the royal mode of ascent became sunbeams. The pyramids were huge funerary complexs, every element of which was designed to serve each king in his second like. Each pyramid have their own dark depts and alot of tunnels and alot of extra passageways and chambers. The Great Pyramid the kings chamber has 5 separate compartments they are stackes above the chamber,4 with flat stone roofs, the top compartment with a pointed roof all ingeniously designed to distribute the enormous weight of the stones above the burial chamber and keep the sarcophagus frombeing crushed. In the Pyramids their are upper chamers and chambers that are under the pyramids { ETERNAL HOMES}

Answer 2

No, the pyramids are solid, with corridors and rooms built in.

If you go to Egypt, you can actually climb up one of the access corridors to a burial chamber inside it. It's a long-hunched over climb, and the air is awful and smells like pee, but it's very interesting once you get inside.

Answer 3
