tombs called pyramids, which were built out in the deserts. These pyramids which can
still be seen today were made of stone. Inside there are secret doors which lead to secret
passages and then to a secret chamber. There the Pharaoh’s body was preserved, so that
it would go on looking the same for thousands of years. These preserved bodies are called
