I've always had a fascination with the ancient Egyptians. I've seen every documentary I can get my hands on and read tons of information over the years. There are so many theories out there about how their society ran and what the true purpose of the pyramids was. I learned in grade school (as we probably all did) that the pyramids were used as tombs for royalty but that theory doesn't really hold up once you delve further into all the available knowledge we have. I don't think we'll ever really know but that's part of what makes it so fun to study. So much mystery.
