1 Cole Bridges and Abby Senger

2  The step pyramids were the very first pyramids to ever be created in Egypt.  The Pharaoh Djoser was the first to ever be entombed in a Pyramid.

3  The Khufu Pyramid stands to a height of 45 stories.  There are over 2,300,000 blocks of limestone making up the largest pyramid.

4  Most of the interiors of pyramids have begun to crumble and slowly fade from their former glory.

5  The workers on the pyramids were not in fact slaves, as many believed, but were workers still containing their own authority.  Large graves were built, even to the men who had a lower status.  Archeologists have found damage marks on the men's’ spines, indicating that they worked VERY hard.

6  All pyramids in Giza were along the west of the Nile.  There are more than 80 pyramids in Egypt.  Inscriptions of spells were made to help the Pharaoh in the afterlife.  Each block on the Great Pyramids was estimated to weigh between 2 and 30 tons.
