Pyramids

The only one from the ancient seven marvels of world that survive today, the Pyramids are the oldest see-sight in the earth. Apart from their age of (roughly 4.000 years) eminently they are also their mysteries. How they built them? Who was their aim?
We know that they were enormous graves where are built with order of Pharaoh from teams of tens of thousands of workers. Recently were discovered the settlements of builders that contain spaces of mass production of food and medical installations. The excavations in the Giza provide always more elements that lead to the conclusion that the workers were not slaves but well organised workforce from Egyptian farmers.
Each year the season of flood, when the Nile covers the fields and made impossible the agricultural work, is believed that the well organised bureaucracy attended in order that the farmers are transferred in order to they work in the grave of king.
The Pyramids could constitute a ancient program of creation of places of work. Moreover the Nile that flooded made easier the transport of Stone for the building. The ancient Egyptians were building so much amazing mausolea no because they had fury with the death or because him they fearred but because they believed in the eternal life and wished it is with sy'mpan.
The Pharaoh as son of gods was also their mediator and his role was it leads the force of gods to his population.
They honoured him as long as it lived also they worshipped him afterwards his death, while they placed him between the ground and the sky in order to it links the mortal with divine world.
A Pyramid was the grave that he deserved.
