Who built the pyramids? and why?

The ancient aztecs/ mayans built pyramid like structures for sacrificial purposes

Answer 2

They used to think slaves, but now they think it was mostly farmers and citizens of ancient egypt as a way to honor their Pharaoh, who they thought was god.  

Answer 3

I did, then I made everyone confused when I decided to live in a normal house.

Answer 4

Isrealite slaves built the Egyptian pyramids under the command of Egyptian slavemasters.  I don't know who designed them, though.  The pyramids were partly meant to house the corpses and treasures of Pharoahs.  The ancient Egyptian religion, as well as some history, was written on the catacomb walls inside the pyramids in hieroglyphics.  The pyramids in Mesoamerica were built as altars to different gods from the Egyptian gods, and sacrifices would be made atop them.  I would guess that the Aztecs and/or Mayans built the pyramids in Mesoamerica.

Answer 5

the egyptians, to store mummies.

    Seriously

The Egyptians built the pyramids as a burial tomb for their Pharaohs... The built them in that design because it was suppose to be harder to break into them by grave robbers...........

The Egyptians because after the Pharaohs,Queens and mostly royalty died, they request to be buried in there with their treasures because they believed in the after life and those treasures would travel with them.

Answer 11

it is told that the Egyptians built them to honor the Pharaoh and then some people say it was aliens who helped them.

So no one knows who really built them.

I think the reason why is to get shot to heaven. I think that why they are the pyramid shape so the point at the end could be where the get shot out at. their spirits of course.
