Stay out of it Greeks

The Greeks would tell people stories about the great pyramids and the treasures they held. People would go looking for these treasures; there was supposedly, glass that bent but didn’t break and things like that. (Even though this wasn't true.) The problem people ran into while looking for these none existent things was the door into the pyramid. It was set high up on the wall and matched everything so well it was almost impossible to find. Thus people created their own ways into the tomb. Egyptians also learned a lot about anatomy. Scribes kept records about everything that they learned about organs and the body. Their pharaoh was known to the people as a political and religious leader. His body was thought of as a god on earth.
