The Pyramids of Egypt, among the largest constructions ever built, constitute one of the most potent and enduring symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization. It is generally accepted by most archaeologists that they were constructed as burial monuments associated with royal solar and stellar cults, and most were built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. The number of pyramid structures in Egypt today is reported by most sources as being between 80 and 110, with a majority favouring the higher number.
