The design of the ancient Egyptian pyramids represents the sun’s rays. The Egyptians believed a person’s soul had two parts. One part stayed connected to the body. The other part returned to heaven. They built the pyramids for their kings. Kings served as intermediaries between humanity and the gods. The pyramids allowed kings to ascend to heaven and take their rightful place among the gods.
