The Great Pyramid of Giza


I wake up and I walk out my door, and head down the sandy street to the construction site of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It is still in the beginning stages of construction we believe that the pyramid will reach the height of 481.4 feet. We are not 100% sure how long the original height will last due to the eroding of the wind on the blocks. The base took the longest because it is 755.75 feet. We all hope that it will be the largest pyramid ever built in Egypt. This pyramid is a symbol of wealth, and riches of the kingdom. Pyramids are built to bury the riches of the Pharoh's. This pyramid is to honor the Pharoh Khufu. Khufu oversees the whole construction site. Pharoh's are individually picked by the gods to rule on Earth. We Egyptians believe in the Sun God. The pyramid is intentionally being built in a certain way to have angled sides on the base. The angled side help the Pharaoh Khufu soul ascend to heaven and join the Sun God Ra. Pyramids are so big to carry everything are Khufu will need in the afterlife. We are building room to store Khufu ship, and his sarcophagus. Pyramids are not only for the king, but also Persist, and the Pharaohs relatives. If I have done my calculations correctly the pyramid will need exactly 2.3 million blocks of stone. That is a lot of weight because each block weighs 2.5 tons each. The crew, and I have dropped a couple of items. We chipped a fragment of the boat getting it in. I have witnessed someone drop a copper hook, and a rumor is someone dropped a dolerite ball. There is rumor that the pyramid will have hieroglyphics, but most likely after construction.
