Step into the Ancient Past with Pyramid Checks

By Alan Plastin


Are you enchanted by the spectacular site of the ancient pyramids? Do the Mayans and the Egyptians hold intrigue for you? If they do, you can now step back into the ancient past when you use pyramid themed personal checks.

In Egypt alone, there are nearly 140 pyramids. Many of them were built as tombs for the Pharaohs. The Pyramid of Djoser was built between 2630 BCE-2611 BCE and is the oldest of these. Of course, the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the biggest. It's also the only Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that is still around. It's estimated that as many as 100,000 people worked on the construction of the pyramids, although their construction still remains a mystery.

Who was really responsible for the construction of the pyramids? How long did it take? Are they really connected to outer space? It's probable that these mysteries will never really be solved and this just makes the pyramids even more amazing.

The Egyptians weren't the only ones to build these powerful structures, of course. In Mesoamerica, other groups were also busy with these towering triangular constructions.

Archeological confirmation shows that they Mayans started building their pyramids around 3,000 years ago. While some of these were straightforward burial monuments, others were massive pyramids that had a stair-step design on their sides. In contrast to the Egyptian pyramids, though, some contained little buildings at the top, instead of coming to a point. However, like the Egyptian pyramids, they also worked as burials grounds for the rulers of the time.

The La Danta temple in El Mirador is the biggest of these pyramids. It is more than 250 ft. high and has a volume of 2,800,000 cubic meters. Incidentally, it's also one of the world's biggest pyramids.

If you are enthralled by the world's pyramids then you'll be sure to love the pyramid themed personal check series. With different series that contain either the Mayan or the Egyptian pyramids, you'll be certain to find something you like. The majority of the series have rotating images, too, so each check you write will be different from the last one.

To complete your pyramid check designs collection, you might also be interested in purchasing coordinating accessories to go along with your new checks. These matching checkbook covers and address labels not only look good but are practical, too, which can make ordering them even more enticing.

If you thought that traveling to your local bank in the past was problematic then you'll love ordering your checks from home. Not only is it more convenient, but you can save money in the process. When you purchase your checks from a highly regarded website you can save as much as 50% off the price of your new checks.

Plus, you'll have tons of designs to choose from. You won't have to worry about settling for personal checks that you're not even interested in. Aren't you ready to make your checks more interesting?
