Pyramid Construction

In 3C, we have been learning all about Ancient Egypt. This week we looked more closely at the pyramids, these were built during the time of the Old Kingdom. Pyramids were tombs where kings were buried. They had rooms inside and took many years to build.  A large number of people were employed to help build them. They were most often paid in food, shelter and clothing. 

On Monday, we studied the structure of pyramids and found out as much as we could about them before embarking on the enormous task of constructing them ourselves. The only difference was that instead of using granite bricks which weighed over a ton, we chose sugar cubes!

Well done you lot, it took you at least 20 years less than it took the Ancient Egyptians!
