  1. PYRAMIDS Most pyramids are in Egypt . Inside pyramids there are traps. Priests studied the stars to chose a pyramid’s site. They made sure the ground was level. Workers dragged stones to the site from nearby quarries using sledges and ropes . They chipped the stones into shapes with copper tools. The stone was brought from far away by sailing boats to the site during the inundation . Then the builders build the pyramids layer by layer . They added false doors , corridors and hidden rooms to keep the pyramids safe from robbers . Earth paths wound up the sides of the pyramids as it was built higher so the builders always had a leveled plat form. By Rachel Joje- lima & C-era Pierce ShuterJane. Builders and CraftsMen.
