Towering above the desert, near the banks of the River Nile, stands the famous Pyramids of Egypt. Built by the Ancient Egyptians nearly 5,000 years ago, they are the oldest of the seven ancient wonders of the world and the only one that has remained standing to the present day. The pyramids were built as tombs for the kings of Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death, so to make sure that their kings and everything might need in their next life, they buried many personal treasures alongside them. In the burial chambers of pyramids archaeologists have found jewelries, foods, furnitures, musical instruments and hunting equipments.
