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

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.

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.
