Egypt - Pyramids

Although they do not hold the record for having the most pyramids globally, Egypt has many.  There are some conflicting reports as to how many pyramids there are.  Some say there are eighty, while others say one hundred and thirty-eight as of 2008. 
One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World or Seven Wonders of the World is the Great Pyramid of Giza, and it is in Egypt.  This is the only remaining Seven Wonders.  The others have been destroyed in various ways.  Most pyramids were built as tombs for pharaohs and their queens.
