Introduction
Each block that was used to build the Great Pyramid at Giza weighed
about two and a half adult elephants. A pyramid is a large structure with a square
base. A pyramid has four smooth, triangular-shaped sides that come to a point at the
top. The pyramids at Giza is one of the seven wonders of the world. The largest
pyramid at Giza covers about 13 acres and originally was 481 feet tall. The great
pyramids at Giza were built in the 4th dynasty and the largest pyramid, built for
Pharaoh Khufu, was built from 2600 B.C.E. to about 2500 B.C.E., that was about
4,500 years ago. The pyramids were built at Giza, near Cairo, in Ancient Egypt. The
pyramids were built for burial tombs for Pharaoh Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. In the
largest pyramid, built for King Khufu, there was a Queen’s chamber, originally made
for Khufu’s tomb area, but Khufu decided that he wanted his tomb rooms to be more
fabulous and more great. Last, there is a grand gallery that is connected to the King’s
chamber and was a corridor 153 feet long, and 28 feet high. The ancient Egyptians
were an important and advanced civilization, because they used amazing technology
to build the Great Pyramids at Giza.

Body Paragraph
The pyramids at Giza was built with advanced technology in three
main ways. First, building the ramps to bring the stones to the correct
position. The ramps were built of earth and mud bricks, plus they
put wooden logs in the ramps to help support the weight of the stones,
and also the ramps had to be lengthened to the height of the place where
the next stones needed to be placed. Second, cutting the stones was an
important step in building the pyramids at Giza.The Egyptians only used
copper tools to cut the stones, there was many jobs to do like splitting the
stones, levering the rocks, and smoothing the rough stone. Lastly, moving
and raising the stones had to be done to build the pyramids at Giza. It was
hard to raise the stones because the stones had to be levered into the
perfect position. Clearly, the Pyramids at Giza was built with advanced
technology in three main ways.
