In ancient Egypt, the Egyptians built pyramids. These pyramids were triangular shaped buildings made with large blocks of dried sand. It is believed that the leaders at the time forced slaves to carry these stones to the appropriate places for the pyramids. Building these pyramids from beginning to end took years to do. These pyramids were created by these leaders because they were tombs for the kings or leaders.
They wanted to be wrapped in cloth called mummies and they were stored in the pyramids. One famous leader was King Tut. He was very young when he became the leader of ancient Egypt and then young when he died. It was only recently that his tomb was opened. Cleopatra was also Egyptian.
