Which ones? There are a variety of pyramid-building cultures across the world spanning a large period of time, as pyramids (stepped or sloped) are a convenient way of stacking rocks. If you are talking about the Great Pyramids of Giza... Old Kingdom Egyptians of the Fourth Dynasty. Fun fact: we are closer in time to Queen Cleopatra of the Ptolemaic dynasty than she was to Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty. The Fourth Dynasty is quite old. (edited)

The first usage of the Arabic numerals in Europe!
In this manuscript from 1202 you can see the very first time the Arabic numerals were used in Europe, in a work by Fibonacci. A century later, they had almost completely replaced the roman ones, and 800 years later we still use them every day! #culture #numbers #history #classics #knowledge (edited)
