Pyramids were monuments to house the tombs of the pharaohs. Ancient Egyptians believed the pharaohs were gods, and that death released their spirit on a journey to the other world. They built the pyramids to protect the pharaoh's body and possessions, and serve as a place for their spirit to dwell.
