Welcome to my wikispace for my senior seminar project about the Egyptian pyramids. Although I did not walk into the class expecting to spend four months thinking about farmers hauling limestone bricks up ramps, I enjoyed learning about these marvels of human strength and engineering. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world, and after reading much about the men who built it, I can understand why. The pyramids were more than just tombs; they were a way of life (well, death) and a political and relgious tool. But all the specfics can be seen on the other pages. Enjoy!
