Answer 1

Small note on top of what everyone added: Because pyramids are the easiest way for a bronze era civilization to build high and sturdy, we see pyramids all over the ancient world not just Egypt. They’re not all built out of stone, though most Central/South American ones are. After enough trial and error, a pyramid is what primitive civilizations will end up using just because it’s so easy and efficient.
