Why are pyramids important to Eygpt

Because It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the AncientWorld, and the only one to remain largely intact.

Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang anda reference to fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu,[1][2]Egyptologists believe that the pyramid wasbuilt as a tomb over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was thetallestman-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones thatformed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlyingcore structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered thestructure can still be seen around the base. There have beenvarying scientific and alternative theories about the GreatPyramid’s construction techniques. Most accepted constructionhypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving hugestones from a quarry and dragging and liftingthem into place.There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. Thelowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid wasbuilt and was unfinished. The so-called[3] Queen’s Chamber and King’s Chamber arehigher up within the pyramid structure. The Great Pyramid of Gizais the only pyramid in Egypt known to contain both ascending anddescending passages. The main part of the Giza complex is a settingof buildings that included two mortuary temples in honour of Khufu (one close tothe pyramid and one near the Nile), three smaller pyramids forKhufu’s wives, an even smaller “satellite” pyramid, a raisedcauseway connecting the two temples, and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles.
