In this section, you will find information on the Pyramids and Temples of Egypt, which includes computer-generated reconstructions of what the pyramids and temples might have looked like when they were first built. Furthermore, I have collected a multitude of interactive ground plan maps, photos, paintings, and drawings from my visits to these ancient monuments.
The pyramids and the Great Sphinx have generated countless speculative theories. Some people even believe they were built by aliens from other worlds! All the material evidence proves without a doubt that they were made by the ancient Egyptians as gigantic burial structures.
The temples were the landowners, the centres of administration, and the possessors of all wealth. For 3,000 years, they maintained cultural continuity, upheld the authority of the rulers, and safeguarded the social structure. Additionally, their high priests emerged as formidable political figures, often wielding equal or greater power than the pharaoh.
Temples fell into two principal types: cult temples and funerary or mortuary temples. The cult temples housed images of the gods, while the mortuary temples were created as shrines to dead kings.
