Why did the Egyptians build great pyramid for their kings?
Jrocklaworldgp1197
Egyptians believed that the body and soul were connected and that if the body was destroyed, so was the soul. In that same school of thought, they built pyramids as lavish tombs, placing great treasures within for the king to take with him to the afterlife.
