Great PYRAMID of Giza (Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Cheops) in Egypt - the great pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, what to see, full tour. Let's travel to Egypt and let's visit the Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) which is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. The Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
Egyptologists believe that the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops was built as a tomb over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. 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. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by 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. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ► http://shorturl.at/etK26 #Egypt #Pyramids #VicStefanu |
