The Pyramids of Egypt are famous architectural feats known around the world, but they aren't the only pyramids around the Globe. This video will introduce you to the pyramids of Egypt and beyond, to a number of different pyramids around the world.

The most famous pyramid is the Great Pyramid of Egypt, also the only remaining of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World which will be explored, along with the first pyramids of Egypt; the stepped pyramids.
