Herodotus, the father of history, once said, “Ancient Egypt was the gift of the Nile”. The “gift” of the ancient Egyptians to the Nile was a pyramid, what does that mean? Why do you say that?

The pyramid is a symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization and a symbol of the four major civilizations. It is this pyramid that makes the world remember the Nile. It is this pyramid that makes people from all over the world come to visit the Nile River. It is this pyramid that makes ancient Egypt, an ancient civilization, remembered by the world. Therefore, the pyramid is a gift from the ancient Egyptians to their mother river, the Nile, and it is also a reward.

It is because of this meandering river that the ancient Egyptian civilization exists, because ancient Egypt is 95% desert. Without the Nile River, there would be no prosperous ancient Egyptian kingdom, let alone the pyramid civilization that rose in this context. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians had a very deep feeling for this mother river, just like we do with our own mother river, the Yellow River. Facing your own mother river, what can you do? Use? Love? Respect? The ancient Egyptians gave the answer, leaving behind a dazzling civilization – the pyramids, which attracted the attention of the world and made the world fall for it, just like our Great Wall of Miles.

Of course, this is also the idea of the pharaohs at that time to build a grand mausoleum for themselves. This is very different from our monarchs. We are willing to build underground, but they are on the ground! Our monarchs are willing to sleep in underground palaces, but they are above the ground, and there is no door to enter or exit! This is very strange!

Why do you think the pyramids have no doors? Why are they built on the ground?
