Bible Background
Why is it that the Bible does not mention the Egyptian piramids as an historical background?
A cooworker of mine asked me this question and I was not able to answer it, so I come to all the faithfull to give me an inside of why such buldings are not mention. Thank you ahead of times.
I don't like to quote anything from the Bible or the Quran, because some people take it as if I was preaching, and I am not any religion. I am just answering your question. and there it goes.
The Bible mentioned how the Jewish people were the one who built, guess what! the Pyramid, and how they were treated unfairly, and how they had to leave everything to find their new home led by Moses. That is in the Bible.
"In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt." Isaiah 19:19, 20
The Pit - “Chamber of the Ordeal”* (G)
Its sides and ceiling are finished, but its floor is unfinished and extremely uneven. Thus it is “bottomless.” Job 33:24; Acts 24:15
Horizontal Passage (H)
6/7 of its length is cramped and low, and the last 1/7 has room for a man to walk upright. Isa. 26:9, 35:1-10
One remarkable prophetic sign that is confirmed by Scripture is found in our Isaiah 19 theme text pointing to the Great Pyramid in Egypt. It is one of the most dramatic signs given in Scripture, yet it is overlooked by most students of the Bible because of preconceived ideas as to the Pyramid’s purpose, origin and meaning.
hope that helped. There are more, but for now that would be enough. You can answer your friend with these. If you wish! 
You are wellcome.
