The complex is located on the edge of the Western Desert, about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 kilometers (8 miles) southwest of downtown Cairo. The site (along with the neighboring city of Memphis) was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are among the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they were historically popular as symbols of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. They became famous in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was included by the Greek poet Antipater as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. They are by far the oldest and only surviving ancient wonders of the world.
And the pyramids, according to one of the hypotheses, are royal tombs, each of which bears the name of the king who built it and was buried in it. Then it developed to take the form of a step pyramid by the engineer Imhotep, the minister of the pharaoh and King Djoser in the Third Dynasty. This was followed by two attempts by King Senefru, founder of the Fourth Dynasty, to build a complete hierarchical form. However, the backs of the two pyramids are not correct in shape, and they are located in Dahshur. One of them has a flattened base, and the other has a smaller shape, about half the size of the first. The engineer, Hemayuno, the architect of King Khufu, was able to achieve the ideal pyramidal shape, and he built the pyramid of Khufu in Giza on an area of 13 acres, and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure followed.
it was the most amazing moment when we saw the Giza Pyramids, they are so beautiful and great
Must see, walking among historical features dating thousands of years.
Egyptian pyramids are famous, tourists here seem to return to ancient civilizations, the mighty and mysterious pyramid of Khufu is full of scary colors. Ancient civilizations are always brilliant in the long river of history.
great seeing it in real life. very majestic and huge! many people so come early in the morning
The people of the pyramid countries are amazing, they simply look down on what America, Australia, in their eyes Egypt is the world's oldest country, Egyptians are the world's most noble people. Everyone who has been to the pyramids in Egypt knows that there is nothing to see except the pyramids on the banks of the Nile in the desert, and that if it were not for the fame, it would not have attracted so many people who are admired by the world. In particular, it is said that people who have entered the pyramid will encounter evil and die suddenly, adding to the mystery of the pyramid. Up to the top of the pyramid is not only a fee, but also a iron ladder similar to China's upper house, which is also steep, because it is narrow, so it is not scary. The tombs are displayed in museums in the city or in the showroom of "a country", and look, it is the cemetery (that is, a tomb). The most famous sphinx is outside the pyramid, which is basically understood to be a three-dimensional tombstone, but a statue of the dead. The most widely circulated in the world is this statue, the owner is serious, the five officials are correct, the vision ahead, giving people a firm, willful reverie, so, in the world, any travel book, history book without his "fragrant" photo, can hardly be called "original". This is called fame, and here I finally understand what fame is.
The pyramids seen in the books are finally seen! It’s good to follow the tour guide, not tired, and take us to the viewing platform of the three pyramids, and tell us some lightning protection matters in advance: don’t talk to those who take the initiative to talk to you, teach you to take pictures, they will finally care for you to tip, just ignore them! The pyramid can enter the interior, but our tour guide said there was nothing inside, tired and expensive, I suggest we don't go! We listened to the tour guide and didn't go inside.
The Pyramid of Khufu is located in northeastern Africa, the capital of the Arab Republic of Egypt, on the outskirts of Cairo. The Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest pyramid in the world and one of the seven wonders of the world. The pyramid is the coat of the ancient Egyptian king, because its appearance like the Chinese characters of the gold, so called the pyramid.
