The entire kingdom was suffering from severedraughts.
Once in a year there used to be floods in the Nile valley
and the land on either side of the valley depended onit. They believed milk way galaxy as celestial Nile. They saw Orien constellation resembling CYRUS,
The messenger of God and thought that he wasblessing them through continuous rainfalls.
On comparing the positions of these three pyramidsand the position of Orion constellation we can come toknow that the egyptians were trying to build the imageof their god cyrus on the earth.

The body of the dead Pharoh was wrappedwith white cloth and placed inside the coffin.
The face of the dead Pharoh was covered by
the mask of King CYRUS.

their body and organs .

Mastaba tombs were low rectangular brick or stone structures. Like thepyramids, they were built on the west side of the Nile (symbol of death,where the sun falls into the underworld).
In the mastabas, lavish tombs with all necessary possessions would beprepared for the Phaorahs
The pyramids evolved from the mastabas.

A major problem facing the builders of the AncientEgyptian Pyramids, was that of getting the Large stoneblocks to the height they required.
The method shown above, is the only one proven to have
been used. The ramps were built on inclined planes of mud brick and
rubble.
It is likely that for the construction of each pyramid, several
ramps were probably used.

The arrangement of the ramps used for building isin much dispute. Assuming that the step pyramidwas built before the outer structure, and then the
packing blocks were laid on top, the ramps couldhave run from one step to another.

The internal construction of most true pyramids consists ofa series of buttress walls surrounding a central core. Thewalls decrease in height from the center outwards. The
internal arrangement added stability to the structure. Packing blocks filled the "steps" formed by the faces of the
outermost buttress walls and casting blocks (oftenLimestone) completed the structure of the true pyramid.

Some of the pyramids indicate an accurateunderstanding of Pi, but the mathematicalknowledge of the Egyptians did not include the
ability to arrive at this by calculation. It ispossible that this could have been arrived at"accidentally" through a means such ascounting the revolutions of a drum.
