The ancient Egyptian Pyramids have always acted as the official motto of Egypt throughout the millennia. The ancient Egyptian pyramids are considered to be the aftermath of deep meditation by the Egyptians in the concepts of death, afterlife, and resurrection which led to the construction of the ultimate example of architecture brilliance the great ancient Egyptian pyramids. Everything surrounding ancient Egyptian pyramids facts always leads to state amazement, wonder, and speechlessness. The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul is divided into two parts, one remains connected to the body while the second part returns to heaven as the design of the pyramid shows in symbolizing the rays of the sun. They built the ancient pyramids for the pharaohs who were viewed as intermediaries between them and the gods, so the kings of ancient Egypt can ascend to heaven and join their rightful place with the gods. All the pyramids were constructed between Egypt old kingdom (2575-2150 BC) and Egypt middle kingdom (2030-1650 BC) but most of the pyramids of the old kingdoms like The Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara takes all the glory.
