Travel to the heart of the Great Pyramid of Giza - the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World.
Built over four and a half thousand years ago, the pyramid is the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu. You can pass through the solid stone blocks that make up the Pyramid’s core to explore its hidden passages and chambers.
The Great Pyramid’s architects and builders worked with great precision: the access corridors and chambers align almost perfectly on a north-south axis.

The largest of them is the Great Pyramid, built for the pharaoh Khufu about 4,500 years ago. It was the tallest manmade structure on earth for almost 4,000 years! Come learn about the pyramids, ancient Egypt, and the Sphinx in this fun and educational video!

EGYPT: Pyramids & Sphinx - Giza (near Cairo)
The Giza Plateau in Egypt includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers' village. The pyramids of Giza and others are thought to have been constructed to house the remains of the deceased Pharaohs who ruled over Ancient Egypt. The people of Ancient Egypt believed that death on Earth was the start of a journey to the next world. The Plateau is located in Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, and is elevated approximately 60 meters above sea-level.
Impression of the original Giza Plateau:
_______________________________
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years until Lincoln Cathedral was finished in 1311 AD.
Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base.
Today tourists enter the Great Pyramid via the Robbers' Tunnel, a tunnel purportedly created around AD 820 by Caliph al-Ma'mun's workmen using a battering ram. The tunnel is cut straight through the masonry of the pyramid for approximately 27 metres (89 ft), then turns sharply left to encounter the blocking stones in the Ascending Passage. Unable to remove these stones the workmen tunnelled up beside them through the softer limestone of the Pyramid until they reached the Ascending Passage. It is possible to enter the Descending Passage from this point, but access is usually forbidden.
Khufu’s pyramid complex has three smaller queen's pyramids and five boat pits. The boat pits contained a ship, and the 2 pits on the south side of the pyramid still contained intact full-size ships. One of these ships has been restored and is on display at the foot of the pyramide in the Giza Solar boat museum. Like other buried Ancient Egyptian ships, it was apparently part of the extensive grave goods intended for use in the afterlife, and contained no bodies, unlike northern European ship burials.

Pyramids in 360° (CNN):
_______________________________
The Pyramid of Khafre or Chephren is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled from c.2558 to 2532 BC. It rises up to a height of 136.4 metres (448 ft). Khafre's pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu's pyramid, which makes it appear to be taller.
_______________________________
The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main Pyramids of Giza, with an original height of 65.5 meters (215 feet). It now stands at 61 m (204 ft) tall. It is thought to have been built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure. The pyramid's date of construction is unknown, because Menkaure's reign has not been accurately defined, but it was probably completed in the 26th century BC.
_______________________________
The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or just the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Cut from the bedrock, the original shape of the Sphinx has been restored with layers of blocks. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt. It is impossible to identify what name the creators called their statue, as the Great Sphinx does not appear in any known inscription of the Old Kingdom and there are no inscriptions anywhere describing its construction or its original purpose.
_______________________________
The new Grand Egyptian Museum is located on 50 hectares at Giza, two kilometres from the Grand Pyramids. Part of the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo will be moved to the new museum, set to open in 2020. It will house Tutankhamun's complete collection. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo will remain open.

How Were the Pyramids Built?
Key aspects of pyramid construction from quarry to completion.

Live show in Alabama:
The most common misconception about the pyramids is that they were built by slaves. Recent archeological evidence suggests they were instead constructed by paid workers. Some may have performed this work as a form of tax payment for several months of the year. Skilled engineers would have planned and orchestrated the building. An estimated 10,000-20,000 people would have been working on a pyramid at any one point in time. They were well fed and provided with shelter near the pyramids. Plus their burial sites close by indicate they were respected and were not slaves.
Much of the limestone was quarried from the Giza plateau itself, meaning the stones did not need to be transported far. The granite casing of Menkaure's pyramid, on the other hand, was transported from Aswan, around 600 miles, or 1000 km up the Nile.
