Why Egyptians built Pyramids ?

To the people of ancient Egypt, death was only the beginning. Egyptian kings(called pharaohs ) were thought to become gods when they passed away.

Believes of Egyptians:

Ordinary Egyptians believed that they would spend eternity(or endless time) with their ancestors in a perfect version of Egypt.

The Egyptians believed the spirits of their deadly departed Kings or pharaohs, wouldn't have happy afterlife without access to their former bodies.

Egyptians believed their pharaohs were living gods who deserved towering tombs as a stepping-stone to the heavens.

So, priests perfected the process of mummification to keep the corpses from rotting away.

That's why these mountains-size monuments were built as tombs for ancient Egypt's kings or pharaohs.

Conclusion

Pyramids were the most structurally sound buildings that could be constructed out of stones—as long as civilizations had sufficient rocks to quarry and the man power to move them, that's why they built that big-sized pyramids.

Pyramids are also a favorite places researchers, because they are mysterious. 

This is a very beautiful and attractive place as well.
