There’s point of view also has some truth. They give some evidence from ancient paint that were in pyramids wall. It is only story. Until now they cannot prove it. Then we can ignore it. Then how they built that massive construction which have 2.3 million stone that weighing about one tone. Lest look as a points.
Exactly what are those pyramid and why they built?

Searching facts about Cleopatra and pyramids once was one of my great obsession. It is amazing how a civilization was lasted and a this kind of miracle was built in the middle of a dessert.
That knowledge is still a mystery I guess.

Hi @sankamadhushanka, Welcome to the community!
I must say that this is a great article written by you as a first post here on this community.
This topic is always my favorite one since my childhood. As I remember, I knew about it from a cartoon, name 'Nayil Nadie Kumari. You may know about it. I was so curious about Egypt and its pyramids. Actually, they are great creations. I can't even believe how they build those. However, we must appreciate those ancients in Egypt. A great article btw.

Sigiriya rock fortress is one of the most important ancient historical sites in our country, where we have no pyramids situated in our motherland. I, personally haven’t visited any of the pyramids around the world, but your article; has given me a good knowledge of the structural background and the importance of pyramids. Thereby, you’ve done a great job!
