Aren’t pyramids just tombs? Why build a tomb? Its origin is
Pyramids are distributed in Egypt and America. Pyramids are the tombs of ancient Egyptian kings. These rulers are known historically as "Pharaohs." The ancient Egyptians' devout belief in gods led them to form a deep-rooted "concept of the afterlife" very early. They even believed that "life is just a short stay, and after death is permanent enjoyment." Therefore, the Egyptians regarded the underworld as a continuation of earthly life. Influenced by this "concept of the afterlife", the ancient Egyptians prepared for their afterlife with sincerity and confidence while they were alive. Every wealthy Egyptian was busy preparing tombs for themselves and decorating them with various items in order to obtain eternal life after death. As for a pharaoh or a noble, he would spend several years, or even decades, building tombs. He also ordered the craftsmen to continue their activities of sailing, hunting, and feasting with tomb murals and wooden models, as well as what servants should do. work, etc., so that he can live as comfortably and contentedly after death as he did before death.
The Egyptian Pharaoh built tombs for himself on a large scale during his lifetime, and since then a trend of building pyramids has been set off in ancient Egypt. Since the pyramids originated during the Old Kingdom and the largest pyramid was built during this period, Egypt's Old Kingdom is also called the Pyramid Age. Why did the pharaohs of ancient Egypt build their tombs into pyramids, that is, into the golden shape in Chinese characters?
It turns out that in the earliest times, the Egyptian pharaohs planned to use Mastaba as their permanent residence after death. Later, around the time of the Second to Third Dynasties, the ancient Egyptians developed the concept that the king would become a god after his death and his soul would ascend to heaven.
