One reason for the popularity of ancient Egypt was the famous structures called Pyramids. Pyramids were a representation of monumental tombs for pharaohs (Kings). Pyramids had a specific value in Egyptian religion and were symbolic. Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to have a belief in the afterlife. Pyramids beyond tombs were a reflection of such belief. Thus, the great pyramids were simply great tombs of pharaohs. Egyptian pyramids are connected with certain religious and social beliefs as well as they consist of particular structures and techniques used for building them up with a labor force as well as specialists. The pyramids reflected the honor, pride, and preservation of the pharaoh’s divine status.

Women in pre-colonial Africa often prayed to the gods for power and influence. They had several powers and rights to educate and even choose their life partner.
