Mystery of the Pyramids

From the moment the man had utilized science and incorporated it in their way of living, ancient civilizations have successfully integrated technology into their culture, architecture, and religion. Ancient Egypt was among the most successful and powerful societies in the world. They regarded their Kings as people chosen by the gods to rule over them, and not even death can stop their sovereignty. On earth, Pharaohs are both descendants and the manifestation of the god Horus, the falcon-god protector of the sun god Ra. When they die, people would believe they would transcend into the level of Osiris, the god of the dead. For that reason, ancient Egyptians built several necropoleis for them to continue their splendor even after death. These dwelling places consist of large and small structures that would host the Pharaoh and his relatives in the afterlife. Egypt is known for its massive man-made pyramids that reflect the status of Pharaohs in the past and the reverence Egyptians had for them. Originally built for their dead ruler thousands of years ago, these pyramids managed to withstand the tests of time and have become a present-day glimpse into the country’s glorious past.This series features specific significant times in US history that have shaped the nation in one way or another.
