Towering above the desert, near the banks of of the River Nile, stand the famous pyramids of Egypt. Built by the Ancient Egyptians nearly 5,000 years ago, they are the oldest of the ancient wonders of the world and the only one that has remained standing to the present day.
The pyramids were built as tombs for the kings of Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death, so to make sure that their kings had everything the might need in their next life, they buried many personal treasures alongside them.
