61. Ben - one word explanation

Thu Nov 5, 2015, 06:28 PM

Nov 2015

For the reason the pyramids are so,big - pharaoh. See Ben, the ancient Egyptians were ruled by a king called a Pharaoh. It literally means Great House and refers to the,palace. Sort of like our use of White House to fill in for the President. Pharaohs were gods on earth and in the afterlife as well, so,they wanted really big, grand tombs. Hence the pyramids.
