** Hieroglyphics **
 * This is my paper about hieroglyphics. **

** · Hieroglyphics are the writing system in Ancient Egypt. Only scribes can write this. The scribes had to study very hard to learn this language and writing. There were not a lot of scribes. **
===** · There are up to 700 symbols in the writing of Hieroglyphics. The scribes had to memorize all these symbols. It was hard for them to learn all of them because they didn’t know how to read the language in the first place. They had to learn how to read before they could learn how to write these Hieroglyphics. **=== ===** · With the Hieroglyphics scribes wrote about history witch help the archeologist learn about Ancient Egypt. They also wrote about the different gods and goddesses they had in Ancient Egypt. Also Egyptian people wrote diaries and jernouls about their lives in Ancient Egypt. **===  · ** They were developed for Egyptians to communicate. One problem was all people could not read this writing. Only people who study, and study, and study, very hard for a very long time could read this writing. Of course the gods and goddesses could read this writing. **

Pyramids

· A pyramid is a quadrilateral with smooth sides that are used as tombs. In Egypt there are 138 pyramids that are discovered. Most were built as tombs for the country’s Pharaoh and their queens. The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara. · The grandest Egyptian pyramids are mostly at Giza, off of Cairo. The Giza pyramids are the largest structures ever built. The pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the biggest Egyptian pyramid. It is one of the Ancient structures that still in existence. · For thousands of years, the biggest structures on Earth were pyramids. Khufu’s pyramid, the largest pyramid, is built entirely of limestone. It contains about 1,300,000 blocks of limestone. One block of limestone weighs from 2.5 tons to 15 tons. It covers 13 acres. · A pyramid is where Egyptians buried a dead person. Inside the pyramid is where the did mummification. Mummification is when they go through a process of making a mummy. They only buried pharaohs and their queens in the pyramids. · ** The people who built the pyramids are not slaves. They were Egyptians that lived in villages that were overseen by the pharaoh. These village people got reworded with bread. Even women made pyramids. Of course it took lots of people, and many years. ** ** This is the pyramid I made. **
