The Pyramids of Egypt
The Pyramids of Egypt are so massive they confound the imagination. They are even more amazing when we consider that they were built nearly 4600 years ago. The great pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20 year period. The site was first prepared, and blocks of stone were transported and placed.
Pharaoh Khufu's structure is the oldest, biggest and most famous of the great Pyramids of Egypt. It was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu (2589 to 2566 BC) and is the only true surviving member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World.
