Why So Many Different Civilizations Built Pyramids

Have you ever noticed that pyramids are scattered all over the globe? They are found in places like Egypt, Mexico, and beyond. The reasons behind their construction vary, but there are some common threads. In ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs, symbolizing their power and authority. In Central and South America, cultures like the Maya, Aztec, and Inca built pyramids for religious and ceremonial purposes, often within temple complexes dedicated to their deities. In other regions like China and Indonesia, pyramids were constructed as tombs for rulers or religious structures, reflecting similar cultural and spiritual themes.

"Ancient astronauts didn't build the pyramids. Human beings built the pyramids, because they're clever and they work hard." - Gene Roddenberry

[@periisssm9688]

For ur information Zigorat is located in Iran and not Iraq . Check that information

[@manmohanmehta5697]

Because it is simple to put a smaller square on a square with cubes. Everyone can try with dice. 1,4,9,16,25,36 and so on.

[@Yomommahouse6801]

Wasn’t the pyramid the only way the could build a really tall structure? Did they build tall structures that weren’t pyramid shaped?

[@theriveroffaith852]

Could it be that they all originated from the same civilization with a very significant pyramid or tower? And all they can do to remember is to build their own versions of it?

[@dennisharrison8489]

If sudan has more pyramids than Egypt, then why are the pyramids in Egypt more popular 😊

[@samuelsmith25]

Great question. Why do you think that?

[@christian80gabi]

Because Egyptian ones are more massive. Pyramids in Sudan are smaller.

[@Murphys_Law9]

[@Lu_R]
