Information: The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. It is generally agreed that pyramids were burial monuments. The shape of a pyramid is thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly reflective white limestone, in order to give them a brilliant appearance when viewed from a distance.

All Egyptian pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology.
