The Pyramids of Giza built
The Pyramids of Giza were designed to last forever, and they have. The massive tombs, which date back to the Old Kingdom of Egypt, were built about 4,500 years ago.
The pharaohs of Egypt believed that they would live forever as gods. They built temples to the gods and enormous pyramid tombs for themselves as preparations for the afterlife, each containing everything a monarch would require to govern and survive in the afterlife.
Even today, scientists are unsure of how the pyramids were constructed since the ancient technical achievements at Giza were so astounding. However, they have gained a lot of knowledge about the people who created them and the political influence required to make it happen.
The builders resided in a makeshift city nearby and were talented, well-fed Egyptian laborers. Archaeological excavations at the interesting site have uncovered a well organized community with plenty of resources, which was likely supported by a powerful central government. It's possible that towns all throughout Egypt provided labor, food, and other necessities for what in some ways developed into a national effort to showcase the might and wealth of the ancient pharaohs.
