2 Pyramids A pyramid is a large building pointing up in the air. It is four triangles going into one point. The biggest pyramid in the world is called The Great Pyramid Of Khufu. Over 2 million blocks of stone were made to construct the pyramid. In a pyramid there is a tomb and in that tomb lays a coffin with their dead Egyptian pharaohs(kings). Their pharaohs get put in the coffin with all of their precious possessions.

5 Toothpaste The Egyptians invented there own form of toothpaste. The Egyptians had a lot of trouble with their teeth because their bread had grit and sand in it . While they didn't have dentistry, they did make some effort to keep their teeth clean.

They also invented the first toothbrushes, which were ends of wooden twigs.
