This 15-year-old Italian-Canadian eatery in Gloucester has won over regulars who like hefty, heavy-on-the-toppings pies such as the Tangerine special, came fully loaded with pepperoni, green olives, mushrooms and crisp bacon. The mom-and-pop operation also grows some vegetables that feature in its food, and its vegetable and bean soup was surprisingly good.
But perhaps it is this element of mystery and intrigue that adds to their timeless appeal and makes them one of the greatest wonders of the world. The Role of Pyramids in Ancient Egypt The pyramids of Egypt have long captivated the imaginations of people all over the world. These monumental structures were not just tombs for the pharaohs, but they also served as a symbol of power, wealth, and unity for the ancient Egyptians. During the Old and Middle Kingdom periods, pyramids were built as part of a larger funerary complex that included temples, causeways, and smaller tombs for the pharaoh's family members. The sheer size and grandeur of these structures were a testament to the wealth and power of the rulers who commissioned them. But the significance of pyramids went beyond just being extravagant tombs.

The early pyramids were built differently
from the later ones. The monumental pyramids of the Old Kingdom, for instance,
were built out of stone blocks, while those of the later Middle Kingdom
were smaller and were typically made out of mud brick cased in limestone.
The early structures usually had a core of local limestone, cased in an
outer layer of better quality limestone, or occasionally granite. Granite
was also traditionally used for the royal chambers insided the pyramid.
Up to million limestone blocks and 50,000 granite blocks might be
used to construct a single pyramid. The average weight might be anything
up to tons per block, with some very large megaliths
weighing up to 200 tons. The capstone at the top of the structure usually
consisted of basalt or granite, and if plated with gold, silver or electrum
(a mixture of both), would dazzle observers with its reflection of the
sun. Based upon the excavation of a series of workers' cemeteries discovered
during the early 1990s, archeologists now think that the pyramids were
built by tens of thousands of salaried workers and craftsmen, who were
lodged in huge encampments nearby.
In the early days, dead nobles were often interned with their living slaves and animals. Because this practice eventually proved too costly, artists instead depicted scenes of human activity on the inside walls. Some pyramids were even equipped with a rest room for the pharaoh.
