The great pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt in Africa, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is believed to have been built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu(Cheops) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC.[1] . The tallest structure in the world for over 3,800 years, it is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu.[

@ALfan5256 Congratulations! I am sure you are going to have an amazing time.

[ANDYYEEE]

wow i never realised it was that massive

[juril001]

I guess I didn't either. You usually see pictures and videos from a distance getting all three pyramids in the shot. When you stand at the base you are blown away by the mass. Thank you for watching

Thanks for watching!

[barthoedemaker]

wind and sand have eroded them alot allready over the decades. Imagine it as a perfect sharp blok pyramide as it once was.

[juril001]

They do take people inside a couple of the pyramids but Chill wouldn't be the word I would use. It is really hot and stuffy inside and a bit crowded.

Thanks for watching

Where did they get so much rock from. I mean 2000000 2.5tonnes,by primitive man,lifted up a 500foot pyramid. The most amazing human achievement ever.

[Roundline]

The size and work that went in to it. 2000000 2,5 tons blocks in 20 years unreal, 20 years to complete, a block was placed down every 5 minutes, and had to at the same angle, even a 1mm out would make it be out by feet at the top. To haul those stones up an internal ramp 500 foot to the top, is frightening to say the least. Amazing.

lol at the music

[TheRealArchAngel]

Impressive

Be more impressive if it had it's colorful Plaster coating and golden sheathed top

Be really impressive if it was still a shake and bake gold maker (Philosipher's stone) and hadn't been gutted to be used as a tomb..lol
