Archeologists find 4,500-year-old ramp apparently used to build the Giza Pyramids

What we do know is that pyramids in Egypt were built as the burial site for the Pharaohs of this ancient civilization. It’s long been thought that the larger and more grandiose the pyramid, the more influential and powerful the Pharaoh was. In fact, it’s even been suggested that some rulers had more than one pyramid bought for them.

These impressive structures would stand tall in the desert landscape, and the pointed top would allow the gods a direct path to the body within the tomb. Although it’s not known exactly how many of these pyramids were built during Ancient Egypt, there are around 80 pyramids that still stand in the country today. They are all impressive in their own right, but one pyramid stands out above the rest.
