As I studied the pyramids I was most surprised when I learned that it took about 20 years to build a single pyramid.
That is a long time!
What suprised me the most was the pyramids didt have many rooms though they are big.
Sabrina
The thing that surprised me the most about that pyramids was that they had to move one block every few minutes. I would never be able to do that.
chris
It suprised me that farmers instead of slaves built the pyrmaids.
anthony When I was researching pyramids the thing that the mud bricks weigh the same as a car.
i didn't know that they used water to move the rock .
Payton
I was really surprised that those blocks way a ton each.
What most surprised me was that there was only three pyramids and not millions. And the other thing is that theres pasages.
Tanner
The thing that surprised me was how creative the Egyptians were.
The thing that surprised me the most was that they could come up with a way to carry those humongous rocks all the way up the pyramid. It’s Crazy!
What I think was surprising about the pyramid was that the only way to make it to the top of the plane was an incline plane to hall all of the bricks up.
Colton
I was surprised that it was made of so many stones and each one weighed up to two tons.
Cooper ;)
I can’t believe that it took so many people to make a pyramid. Each brick weighs a ton and then some.
What surprised me the most was that it took over26, 000 men to build the Great Pyramid of Giza.
I was surprised that there wasn’t many hieroglyphics on the wall. There was more graffiti than hieroglyphics. That kind of disappointed me a little bit because some person would come and graffiti the walls of the pyramids.
The thing I surprise me the most is it took 23 years to build the pyramid of geza and they rolled the heavy blocks up the pyramid.
Angel
What surprised me most about the pyramids is that each brick of the pyramids weighs more than an average car. I wouldn’t like building a real pyramid.
I was surprised that they used sleds to pull the brick rocks up to the top. I was also surprised that the tunnels on the inside of the pyramids look like jails.
the thing that suprised me most about the pyramids were the old graffiti.also how the egyptians made the pyrimids

The thing that surprised me the most was that they were able to figure out how to move the blocks that weighed 2.5 tons. They moved it by rolling the stone. It was AWESOME!!
I was surprised how they built the pyramid. I was also surprised how long it took to build them. They also used knives to smooth them.
The thing that most surprised me about the pyramids is that there are very few rooms in the pyramids. I had always figured pyramids were filled with lots of rooms.
What I thought was interesting is that the pyramids rocks weighed over 2 tons! I also thought that it was interesting how the Egyptians made it.
What Surprised Me Most Is That Inside The Pyramids It Kinda Looks Like Cave And It Just Make Me Want Explore It More...
It surprised me how strong and how much time it must of took those pyramid builders to build those pyramids. If I was doing that I would probably not even be able to push it an inch.
What interested me is how big they are and that you can go in it without it collapsing.
Olivia
What surprised me most was each brick they used for the pyramid weighed at least the weight of a car!!!!
Chandler I like the height
I was surprised to learn that slaves did not build the pyramids. The slaves only did the most dirty or dangerous work.
I was surprised by… nothing I have watched a video about building the great pyramid of Giza about a month ago.
They used elephants to move the big blockes
What I was surprised most about the pyramids is that they built giant ramps that they could of used for the pyramid for blocks . and the blocks were more than a ton so I didn’t even think they could move them.
The thing that surprised me the most about the pyramids of Giza was how they moved the big gigantic stones. Over two thousend pounds is a lot of weight to drag as long as a mile.
What surprised me the most about the pyramids was that the blocks weigh as much as a car and the pyramids are 4,000 something ft. high.
The most surprising thing about the pyramids is that each block is 2 ½ tons, about the size of a car!!!!
The thing that surprised me the most is how big the great pyramid of Kufu height and all.
There was a HUGE block that was so cool,it was white. The thing that surprised me is how big the rock was and that they were stiring somthing.
The thing that surprised me is what’s inside them. I never pictured the inside of the pyramids. And the other thing that surprised me is that the weight of a block is about 2 tons that’s about one car weight.
Lane,
What surprised me about the pyramids was they used simple machines to move the stone to the pyramid and that they had a secret spot to get the pharaoh in side!
It was interesting how they built the pyramids and how high it is. It is also cool how long they have lasted.
