Description:
Have you ever noticed that pyramids are scattered all over the globe? They are found in places like Egypt, Mexico, and beyond. The reasons behind their construction vary, but there are some common threads. In ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs, symbolizing their power and authority. In Central and South America, cultures like the Maya, Aztec, and Inca built pyramids for religious and ceremonial purposes, often within temple complexes dedicated to their deities. In other regions like China and Indonesia, pyramids were constructed as tombs for rulers or religious structures, reflecting similar cultural and spiritual themes.<br/>Credit: <br/>CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/: <br/>Meroe at sun rise: Valerian Guillot - https://flic.kr/p/DJbkrt, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Meroe_at_sun_rise,_Sudan.jpg <br/>Inside Meroe Pyramid: Laurent de Walick, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inside_Meroe_Pyramid.jpg <br/>Snefru hed-seb festival: Juan R.
