Process: The Pyramids

The pyramids are one of the wonders of the world which their history returns back to around 3500 BCE. They are located in Egypt precisely in the city of Cairo. The pyramids were built by slaves serving a merciless pharaoh. The reason of building the pyramids are as tombs for the Egyptian kings.

In this essay, I will describe how the pyramids were built:

The first stage the pyramid is built from a large blocks of a raw material was called limestone. Then, the stone blocks are cut by copper chisels and mallets. After that, the workers are drove wooden wedges into the holes to split the stone. Next, the stones are moved by wooden sleds. Once on land, the stone blocks are placed on sledges. Furthermore, Slaves are hauled the sledges over wooden rollers by pulling on towropes made of papyrus which was made from riverside reeds. The water is poured in front of the rollers as a lubricant. The stones are towed on the sledges up the sides of the pyramid on ramps of sand. Then the blocks are levered into place. In the final stage workers dug away the sand.

In the conclusion, they were one of the biggest building projects ever to have been completed in history. Although people still searching of how are been built at that time of age.
