The pyramids really serve the following purposes:
First: the pyramids are the tombs of Egyptian kings.
In fact, from the pyramids that have been developed now, we can know that there are many Egyptian monarchs, queens and pharaohs buried inside, all of them are important people in Egypt, and these people are buried inside the pyramids, which shows that the pyramids are the tombs of ancient Egyptian monarchs. Many Egyptian monarchs would start preparing their tombs when they first ascended the throne, because ancient Egypt, like ancient Chinese monarchs, believed in power and status.
Even after their deaths, these kings still wanted to be treated with high honor and have luxurious residences. Because the tomb is very important to the pharaohs and kings of ancient Egypt, and so that they can also leave their tombs for future generations to worship. So in ancient Egypt, the more capable and powerful people were, the greater the height of the pyramid they could own and the larger the scale of the pyramid.
Second: Pyramids were used as places of worship.
Actually, the ancient Egyptians were the same as the Chinese monarchs, all believed in the Mandate of Heaven, in ancient China there are often sacrifices to the heavens and the earth and sacrifices to the ancestors of the ceremony, then in ancient Egypt is the same, these pyramids are used specifically for the place of sacrifice. But not all pyramids all can be used for sacrifice, if in the pyramid has been buried pharaohs or rulers, then it can not be used for sacrifice.
Unless it is the pyramid of an ancient Egyptian ancestor, it can be used for rituals for future generations. On the day of sacrifice, the people of Egypt would appear before the pyramid to kneel sincerely to pray for blessings for their descendants to pray for the blessings of the ancestors, usually on important days can be carried out the activities of the sacrifice.
Third: use as a palace.
In fact, the ancient Egyptian monarchs still reign still need to have a venue to meet the people, and the pyramid is can be used as a palace to use. So the pyramids are actually the equivalent of the Forbidden City in China in Egypt, which is used to face the Holy Land.
