The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids to make sure their kings could live forever. They thought that if they made a big, strong tomb for the king, he would become a god in the afterlife. To build it, they used a lot of big stones and moved them with ramps or levers, kind of like how you move a heavy box from one room to another.
Examples
- Moving a big stone up a long ramp using logs
