power to build pyramids- massive monumental tombs to house their dead bodies
• Built primarily by skilled craftspeople and farmers during the flooding season
MATH! Figured out key principles of geometry for accurately calculating angles and areas
• Could calculate the area of a circle and the volume of a pyramid or cylinder
• Used decimals and fractions in their calculations
The first pyramid: c.2650 BC• Designed by King Djoser’s
vizier Imhotep• 200 foot high tomb made of
giant steps• Contained a maze of
chambers- filled with stuff for the afterlife
• Surrounded by a complex of
buildings and temples• Created a palace for the king’s

The Great Pyramid of Khufu• In Giza near Cairo• Huge! Covered 571,158 square feet, 481 feet high • Two addition large pyramids for his successors Menkaure and Khafre• The Great Sphinx carved out of limestone next to them (body of a lion with
Khafre’s head.)
Stopped building Pyramids because they were too difficult to defend from raiders
