I. Introduction
A. Attention Getter
1. You all have heard of the Great Pyramids of Giza correct…Did you know that those pyramids were built with such precision that our current technology, as advanced as it is, cannot replicate it. There are so many mysteries and facts about these pyramids that it baffles archaeologists, scientists, astronomers, and even tourists.
B. Revealed Object and speaker credibility
1. *Reveal pyramid statue*
2. I’m Egyptian
C. Thesis
1. By learning more about the pyramids, you’ll broaden your facts about the structure of the pyramids and of the Egyptian people, both ancient and modern day Egyptians. The pyramids may never reveal the secrets of their origins, but they do tell us a lot about the culture of the Egyptian people, both ancient and modern-day Egyptians.
D. Preview of the main points
1. First off, I will discuss the history of the pyramids and what they mean to the Egyptians people as a whole. Then I will go on to discuss what the pyramids mean to me and how I identify with them on a personal level.
II. Body
A. Culture Object Represents
1. Built during a time when Egypt was one of the richest and most powerful civilizations in the world, the pyramids are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history. Their massive scale reflects the unique role that the pharaoh played in ancient Egyptian society. These Pyramids were built by Pharaohs Khufu (tallest), Khafre (background), Menkaure (front), as tombs for themselves and their queens.
2. The pyramids are a monumental part of Egyptian culture. It’s a huge symbol of pride thing for them.
B. Why I identify with this culture
1. As a kid, I always grew up hearing a lot about the pyramids along with the other artifacts that we built. I’ve visited the pyramids many times and with each time I get more amazed and prouder.
2. The pyramids are a big pride symbol for me as well
