Question #498b5
1 Answer
If I remember correctly they were intended as resting places for the bodies (together with tools, weapons, food and jewels) of the kings; there inside they were preserved until the day they would come back from the dead.
Explanation:
The pyramids were tombs but not conventional because they were a kind of deposit or provisional resting place where the god-like pharaohs were laid after their death to wait for the day they were supposed to come back from the dead and rule again and were supposed to protect their millennial sleep.
The pyramids were similar to fortresses full of booby traps and blind passages to conceal and protect the inside chambers where the body (embalmed) of the pharaoh was laid inside a sarcophagus together with his weapons and supply for the moment he would wake up and need to eat or fight.
