Week 9 Great structure in the Middle East

 In my mind, the most famous ancient structures in the Middle East are the Pyramids in Egypt. The first thought of the pyramid is old and mysterious. The pyramids are on the west bank of Nile because Egyptians believes the West is to enter another world. Their graves are precisely the junction of two worlds. Built 4,000 years ago, the three great pyramids, in the Egyptian desert remain the greatest buildings ever constructed. The pyramids were built under the orders of the Egyptian leaders. The Egyptians started constructing them after 2700B.C. and were built as tombs for the pharaohs. The most well known and the largest pyramids of Egypt is at Giza which is said to be the largest ever built. It is hard to believe ancient builders can build these massive structures without modern machines. I think this why we can identify the pyramids as an early monument of human greatness.
