The Great Pyramid use to be covered with a coating of limestone tile. Most of this has been removed to make walls and buildings for later structures. This is the noticeable cap left on the pyramid, the remains of the last of the limestone tile.

What was a major purpose for making pyramids?

There are many different theories about the purpose of the Great Pyramid. Along with not being able to conclude absolutely who built the Great Pyramid, mankind also does not understand why it was built. Many believe that Pharaoh Cheops (or Khufu) built the Great Pyramid for his tomb around 3350 BC, because many of the other pyramids in the area have been found to be burial chambers for the various kings of Egypt. Now, there are some that believe the Great Pyramid monument was a time capsule left by an advanced civilization. There may have been some leaders of this civilization wanted to leave a message to future civilizations. Others think it was some civil service project.
