Pyramids in Africa

The pyramid is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian king. These rulers are known as “pharaohs” in history. The devout belief in God among ancient Egyptians led to a deep-rooted belief in the afterlife. They even believed that “life is just a brief residence, and after death it is a permanent enjoyment.”. Therefore, the Egyptians regarded the underworld as a continuation of earthly life. Under the influence of this “afterlife concept,” ancient Egyptians, while alive, sincerely and confidently prepared for the afterlife. Every wealthy Egyptian was busy preparing their own graves and decorating them with various items in order to attain eternal life after death. In terms of pharaohs or nobles, he would spend several years, even decades, to build tombs, and even order craftsmen to continue sailing, hunting, feasting activities with tomb murals and wooden models, as well as the work that servants should do, etc., so that he could live comfortably and contentedly just like before his death. The function of Egyptian pyramids is not only to serve as tombs, but also to serve as ceremonial buildings during the lifetime of rulers. Initially, a small palace was built in front of the unfinished pyramid, and rulers celebrated the pharaoh’s birthday there for 33 years and every 3 years thereafter. During the celebration, the pharaoh must prove to his courtiers that he is a wise monarch and a brave soldier
