The Pyramids.
Two principal theorists have been
advanenrl fnr the erection of the pyrite
mids of Egypt. One is that each
king on ascending the throne began
to build a pyramid as a tomb and
nwnurusht to himself. This was
usually laid out upon a comparative-
ly email scale, .o that if the builder
had but a short reign hie tomb might
he nompiete. As time paaeed eneees-
Sive layers were added, and the sire
of the monument was thus propor-
tioned to the length of the leiMiter's
reign. This theory IN combated by
