Why were pyramids mainly built in Egypt?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: As tombs of kings
The pyramids of ancient Egypt were monumental tombs built mainly for pharaohs and, in some cases, other members of the royal family. Egyptians believed in an afterlife and placed the dead ruler’s body, goods and religious equipment in or near the burial complex. Their huge scale also displayed royal authority and organized labour. They were not designed as parliaments, markets or schools, so option A is correct.
