In Egypt, pyramids were built separate from areas of human habitation, atop cliffs or plateaus on the west bank of the [[Nile]]. Although as time went on and dynasties came and went, abandoned pyramids and their surrounding structures became attractive areas for bandits to set up base.

	They were initially built of rough limestone before being faced in fine white limestone that would be polished to give them a flawless appearance. Later pyramids began to use granite in their outer casings at their base. A true pyramid was always topped with a pyramidion upon completion and these were often made of granite or limestone and sometimes inscribed with royal titles and religious texts and in some instances even gilded.
