Why Pyramids?

Pyramids. Just love the mystery. They are everywhere around the world. Yet the "Bible" doesn't mention them. Oops

Pyramids are not mentioned as such in the canonical Scriptures. However, the Apocrypha (approved as canonical by Catholics and Coptics) does mention pyramids in 1 Maccabees 13:28-38 in connection with seven pyramids built by Simon Maccabeus as monuments to his parents.

They were the easiest structure to create at the time. They had experience building single level structures..a pyramidal structure was the next logical step..as evidenced by the Step Pyramid in Egypt.
