Pyramid at Giza
The Great Pyramid at Giza is an awesome sight, thirty times larger than the Empire State Building(in mass), the Pyramid's features are so large they can be seen from the Moon. The oldest structure in existence, having been started 4,617 years ago, it isthe sole remnant of the Seven Wonders of the World.rld.

King Khufu
commissioned
the building of
the largest
pyramid of all, the Great Pyramid, which is the last
remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the
World. It is thought that in 816 AD Caliph al-Mamun
first ordered workers to blast through the blocked
stone entrance in order to explore within Khufu's
pyramid. But looters, probably from dynastic
Egyptian times, had already absconded with King
Khufu's burial treasures and his body. This is true of
all of the pyramids at Giza, so very little is known
about Khufu or any of his successors who were
buried at Giza. Archaeologists, nonetheless, continue
to look for pieces of this puzzle to further our
understanding of the Pyramid Age and the pharaohs
that ruled Egypt.
