The Great Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, is the largest of the three pyramids at Giza and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built around 2560 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, it was constructed as his tomb. The pyramid originally stood at 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall, although it now measures about 138.8 meters (455 feet) due to the loss of its outer casing stones. It was built with over 2 million limestone blocks, showcasing incredible engineering skills. The Great Pyramid remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Today, it continues to fascinate visitors, offering a glimpse into the ancient Egyptians' mastery of construction and their religious beliefs surrounding the afterlife.

The Pyramid of Khafre, also known as the Pyramid of Chephren, is the second-largest pyramid at Giza. Built for Pharaoh Khafre, who ruled during the Old Kingdom around 2520 BC, it stands at 136.4 meters (448 feet) tall. While slightly shorter than the Great Pyramid of Khufu, it appears taller due to its elevated position on the Giza plateau. The pyramid is famous for its original smooth limestone casing at the top, which still remains, offering a glimpse into how the pyramids originally looked. Nearby, the Great Sphinx, believed to represent Khafre, guards the pyramid. The Pyramid of Khafre was an architectural marvel, showcasing the Egyptians' expertise in construction and their deep religious beliefs in the afterlife.

Pyramid of Menkaure
The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three pyramids at Giza, built for Pharaoh Menkaure, who reigned during the 4th Dynasty around 2490 BC. It originally stood at 65 meters (213 feet) tall, significantly shorter than the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Khafre. Despite its size, the pyramid is still an impressive feat of ancient engineering, constructed with massive limestone and granite blocks. Menkaure’s pyramid is distinguished by its complex mortuary temple and the remains of three smaller queen's pyramids beside it. The pyramid's original casing stones have largely eroded, but it remains a key part of the Giza pyramid complex. The structure continues to offer insight into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture and royal tombs.

The Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt, stands guard near the Pyramid of Khafre. This massive limestone statue, with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh, is believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre himself. Measuring 73 meters (240 feet) in length and 20 meters (66 feet) in height, the Sphinx was carved from a single piece of limestone and is thought to have been built around 2500 BC. Nearby, the Mummification Temple of King Khafre is an essential part of the pyramid complex. This temple was used for the embalming process of the Pharaoh’s body before burial. Its ruins reveal impressive architectural features, including large pillars and sections of the original temple, giving insight into ancient Egyptian rituals and their belief in the afterlife. Together, the Sphinx and Mummification Temple add to the historical and spiritual significance of the Giza Plateau.
