The Egyptians invented one of the first written languages, called Hieroglyphics.  Hieroglyphics uses pictures instead of words in order to communicate through writing. It was invented around 3100 B.C.

No one could read hieroglyphics until some of Napoleons troops found the Rosetta stone in 1779. The Rosetta Stone has a decree from King Ptolemy V. The message was written three times. Once in Hieroglyphics, then Greek, and then Demotic. This was a very big step in understanding Hieroglyphics.

The purpose of the Pyramids were for tombs for Pharaohs and rich Egyptians. The most famous Pyramid is the Giza Pyramid. It originally contained 2,300,000 separate blocks of stone. Each weighing 2.5 tons. When it was built the pyramid rose 481 feet. Many people do not believe that the Egyptians built the pyramids with the tools they had at there disposal. Some people think that aliens from a different planet or dimension built them. Today many people disagree if we could build a pyramid today, even with all of our advanced technology.

I find it quite incomprehensible that even today, scientists cannot understand how Ancient Egyptians accomplished the amazing things that they did.
