As early as 3500 BC, some small slave states had begun to appear on both sides of the Nile, and after about four hundred years, they were unified, forming the first ancient Egyptian state, and the king of the country was revered as pharaoh.
The pharaohs of ancient Egypt believed that "life is only temporary, death is eternal", so in the lifetime, they will prepare for life after death, specifically to build a huge mausoleum, build a place to enjoy after death in the mausoleum, and place some utensils on display, extremely luxurious and luxurious.
Originally, the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were called mastaba, a rectangular mausoleum made of mud, until the Third Dynasty, about 2686 BC, when a famous minister named Imhotep appeared, who designed a "pyramid" shape mausoleum for the pharaohs.
The construction method of these pyramids is very simple, that is, first build a large square mausoleum at the bottom, and then add five layers of gradually decreasing square buildings on it, and wrap them in huge rocks on the outside, which looks extremely majestic and solemn, so it soon spread, and later generations of pharaohs have followed suit, so the pyramids of ancient Egypt have emerged endlessly.
Until the Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, because the authority of the pharaohs gradually declined, and the pyramids were too eye-catching, so a lot of professional tomb robbers were born, and many of the pharaohs' mummies were stolen, so the later pharaohs of ancient Egypt gradually stopped building pyramids, but changed to the mountains to build their own tombs, and the pyramids in ancient Egypt were mainly the third dynasty to the sixth dynasty, that is, the period from 2686 BC to 2181 BC.
So what were the Chinese doing during the period when the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids? Speaking out will subvert your traditional perceptions. Ancient China began with the legendary Three Emperors era, which was still 12000 BC - about 3077 BC, which was still in the primitive society of the Neolithic Age, and the subsequent Five Emperors period was 3076 BC - about 2029 BC.
That is to say, when the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, China was in the middle and late stages of the Five Emperors period, the Yellow Emperor had already defeated Xuan You, Shao Hao and Emperor Xuan had abdicated, this time was basically the "Yao Shun Yu Period", Di Yao formulated the calendar; Di Shun formulated the proverb of "virtue first, re-education", becoming the originator of Chinese moral culture; Di Yu cured the great flood of the chaotic world, and produced nine mouths of Dading to suppress, becoming the founding king of the Xia Dynasty.
That is to say, when the ancient Egyptians built such magnificent buildings as the pyramids, the Chinese at that time were struggling with the flood and were in the transition from primitive society to slave society.
