Pyramid
Pyramids were four-sided structures that generally tapered to a point at the top. They were built of stone or mud brick to house the remains of the Egyptian king. Small ones sometimes were provided for queens. Pyramids were used by kings in the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Numerous small pyramids were built in Nubia much later.
