Brief introduction of Egypt

Located in the northeast of Africa, the transportation hub of Europe, Asia and Africa is a shortcut to the sea route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It borders Sudan in the south, Libya in the west, Palestine and Israel in the east, Europe across the Mediterranean Sea in the north and Jordan and Saudi Arabia in the southeast. The official language of Egypt is Arabic.

Egypt is the most populous country in the Middle East and the second largest country in Africa, and has long been in the leading position in Africa in the fields of economy, science and technology. It is also the third largest economy on the African continent. Its important industries, such as tourism, agriculture, industry and service industry, have almost the same development ratio. Egypt is also considered as a medium power, especially in North Africa, the Middle East and Islamic regions.

The pyramids of Egypt are symbolic cultural relics of ancient Egypt. Their sides are connected by a number of triangular or trapezoidal faces, and the top area is very small, even in the shape of a spire, like a gold character. Moreover, pyramids are basically pyramid-shaped objects, and they are generally quadrangular pyramids.

Most ancient pyramids are made of stones, and the center of mass is close to the base. The higher the grade, the less materials are used, which can effectively resist natural disasters. No matter how sharp the knife is, it is difficult to insert, up to 40 layers. This shows the wisdom of the Egyptian people.

The function of the Egyptian pyramid is not only as a tomb, but also as a ceremonial building when the ruler is alive. At first, a small palace was built in front of the unfinished pyramid, where the ruler celebrated the Pharaoh's birthday for 33 years, and then every three years.
