This is why their dead bodies were buried (埋葬) on the west bank of the Nile.
The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They did not build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then a temple(庙宇) on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as

Scientists think it took 10,000men more than ten years to build it. On the top they built a temple of the sun. The temple is no longer there but people still call it the Pyramid of the Sun. Near it is another huge pyramid, the Pyramid of the Moon.
