What are the different types of pyramids?
There are about three types of pyramids in Ancient Egypt: "True" pyramid- The typical pyramid, with smooth sides and hard edges(the pyramids you would imagine) Bent pyramid- Very smooth and has curved sides(obviously looks bent!) Stepped Pyramid- Has many steps to the top(it's a STEP pyramid!)
How many men did it take to built a pyramid?
Depends on the size of the pyramid but it always involved thousands. The ancient Greek historian and traveller Herodotus (c.450BC) was told by his guide that it took 100,000 slaves to build the Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu.
Which Egyptian built a temple of Anubis?
There were, in ancient Egypt many temples to Anubis, his chief cult cities were Cynopolis and Lycopolis (called so by the ancient Greeks).
Why did they need so many people to build a pyramid?
First, many, many people had to cut into the rock formations, and cut huge perfect stones to pile up for the pyramids. Second, each of thousands of stones had to be moved from the rock quarry all the way to the pyramid location. It took many people to build the wood structures needed to start building the halls and rooms that would be deep inside the pyramid. If getting the stones to the pyramid took many people, then raising the stones and piling them atop each other was major. The stones were so terribly heavy that it took a bunch of manpower to raise them and position them. So it would not take many decades to finish the pyramid, many work parties were formed to haul, raise, and lay the stones. To get the pyramid finished before the Pharoah died and would be buried in the pyramid, many, many thousands of people had to work together.
