Egypt, like China, is one of the world's four great ancient civilizations, with long history, splendid civilization, and countless miracles and treasures. Among the miracles and treasures, the pyramids are definitely the pride and symbol of Egypt.

Egyptian pyramids are tombs for kings and queens. The oldest pyramids are stepped pyramids, which are also the embryonic form of Egyptian pyramids. And the biggest pyramid must be the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is 146.5 meters tall and is made by more than 2,300,000 huge bricks, each of which weighs 2.5 tons. It is hard to imagine how the ancient people accomplish such great architecture without the help of modern machines that we, the people today, are depend on. And the great Sphinx is an architecture that is super amazing and fascinating. All in all, we should admit that the wisdom of ancient Egyptians is worthy of admiration.
