Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza, built around 2580–2560 BCE, is the largest of the three pyramids on the Giza plateau in Egypt. As a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu, it originally stood at about 481 feet tall and was made from approximately 2.3 million stone blocks. It showcases the ancient Egyptians' advanced engineering skills and is aligned with great precision to the cardinal points. This pyramid is the only surviving structure of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remains a symbol of ancient Egypt's power and architectural ingenuity.
