Ms. Hoffman got to visit Egypt where she saw the Pyramids of Giza. They are near the city of Cairo. They are a amazing! There are many pyramids in Egypt, but some of the best are in Giza. There are 3 of them together. The biggest is the Great Pyramid. It is the tomb of a king, or pharaoh, of ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed that their kings were gods. They also believed that they needed a place for eternal life after death. So, when they died, they were buried in the enormous pyramids to keep them safe in the after life. Here are some pictures of the pyramids of Giza.
In your culture, what happens to people when they die? Are they buried in tombs?
