Pyramids
The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the world's most amazing landmarks. Rising high above the Sahara
Desert in the Giza region of northern Egypt, the Great Pyramid stands some 450 feet into the burning
desert sky and occupies of an area of 13 acres. The rough climate of the Sahara has actually caused
the pyramid to shrink 30 feet from its original height. The pyramid was such an amazing feat of
engineering, that it remained the tallest structure in the world for over 3800 years! The entire pyramid
was originally faced with polished limestone to make it shine brilliantly in the sun.
Most Egyptologists, scientists who study ancient Egypt, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around
2560 BC, a little more than 4,500 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers twenty years to build.
The pyramid contains over two million stone blocks. Although most of the blocks weigh two or three tons,
some
weigh
up
to
80
tons!
The Great Pyramid of Giza was ordered built by the Pharaoh Khufu as a magnificent tomb. His vizier
(advisor) Hemon is credited with being the pyramid's architect. Khufu's pyramid is actually part of a
complex of pyramids that includes the Pyramid of Khafre, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, a variety of
smaller pyramids and structures, and the Great Sphinx. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the last remaining
of the Seven Wonders of the World.
