Name of Museum Did you know that the pyramid builders ate coarse bread with sand? The Pyramids at Giza was the burial place for Pharaoh Khufu. The main pyramid out of the ten at Giza had seven rooms and it was made out of two million bricks. The upper part of the pyramid had four hundred eighty one bricks, but after time thirty one bricks fell off. The pyramid was built from 2600 BCE to 2500 BCE which was during the old and middle kingdoms. The pyramid is located in Giza, Egypt outside of modern day Cairo. The pyramid was built for Pharaoh Khufu and it was built by peasants and artisans. The ancient Egyptians were an important and advanced civilization because they used technology to build the pyramids. Introduction Back to Room 1

Name of Museum At least three different pieces of technology proved that Egypt was an advanced and complex civilization. The first piece of technology was the simple tools that the Egyptians used to build The Great Pyramids at Giza. They used lots of tools like the trowel, mallets, plumb rule and level. Another, piece of technology was how they transported the bedrock stones from the quarries. They moved the stones in groups of thirty five people and they dragged the stones on wooden sledges that moved more easily because of the tool the mattock that had leveled the land. The last pieces of technology was how to move the big bedrocks up the pyramid. The workers would drag the bricks up the pyramids on wet wooden slats that would help the rocks move more quickly up the temporary ramps that got knocked of the pyramids at the end of the project. In conclusion, at least three different pieces of technology proved that Egypt was an advanced and complex civilization. Body Paragraph Back to Room 2
