According to ancient Egyptians, the pyramid shape represents the human body arising and ascending to the light. This could explain why Egyptians placed their Pharaohs in pyramid tombs.
When protégées pursued the Divine within, spiritual initiations were held in the great pyramids. Within the sacred walls, seekers would experience the process of attaining enlightenment. Many secrets of realization were lost in time and only scant evidence of the Egyptian’s spiritual practices survived.
