Ancient Egyptian Civilization the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians

You have been asked to teach a class on the Egyptian pyramids to a first-year university class.

You have time to present 5 facts about the pyramids. What 5 facts would you choose and why?

Some ideas:

– why were they built? (they are tombs, but what else do they say about pharaoh, about their idea of the afterlife, and/or Egypt/Egyptians)

– how they were built, the engineering and decorative elements, economics, resources and logistics

– the people that built them

– your suggestions?

10 points total

– 2 point each =

– 1 point per fact

– 1 point for a sentence explanation (why you would choose that fact)

I am looking for relevance, accuracy, comprehension, and what interests you personally about the pyramids/ancient Egyptian culture

Please include a bibliography of any sources you consult.
