There are ten pyramids at Giza,
including three of the largest and best preserved (保护,保存)
of all Egyptian
pyramids. Each pyramid was built to protect the body of Egyptian
king.
The Egyptians believed that the person's body had to be preserved and
protected so the soul could live for ever. For this reason, they
mummified (使成木乃伊)
their dead, meaning they embalmed (涂香油于(尸体))
and dried them, and hid
mummies in large tombs.
From about 2700 to 1700 BC. the bodies
of Egyptian kings were buried inside or beneath (在...之下)
the pyramids in a secret
chamber (寝室,房间)
that was filled with treasures and gold and precious
(贵重的)
subjects.
The
pyramids at Giza were built for kings
from about 2600 to 2500 BC. The largest was built for King Khufu,
the second was built for King Khafre, and the third for King Menkure.
