Today we see the Egyptian pyramids as one of the most magnificent man-made wonders of the world. We have taken such a unique design and used it to build other beautiful monuments like the Louvre. “The most famous Egyptian architect was Imhotep who built the first pyramid” Morley(Morley, Jacqueline. An Egyptian Pyramid. The Salariya Book Co, 19911991). Imhotep is the most well-known architect in ancient Egypt and is remembered as the designer of the pyramid. The pyramid, used as an entrance in the Louvre's courtyard, has the exact same proportions as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Louvre currently is made out of glass panes and used as a museum. Unlike the Louvre, the Egyptian pyramid was used as a tomb for the pharaohs. “Designed by I. M. Pei, the great pyramid was unpopular when it was built. As soon as the project was announced, it was accused of disfiguring the architecture.” Party(Party City Visions,The Louvre Pyramid: history, architecture, and legends. https://www.pariscityvision.com. Accessed 9 April 2019.) Some claim that there are 666 glass panels, which areis the number of the demon. This causes people to think the Louvre is a bad omen. In Ancient Egypt, the pyramid was used as a tomb for pharaohs. Traps and spells were placed inside to keep thieves from robbing the treasures that lay with a pharaohpharaoh's corpse. Grave robbers would, consequently, be cursed.
