Egyptian pyramids, Monumental tombs in Giza Plateau, Egypt
Three massive stone pyramids dominate the Giza Plateau, with the Great Pyramid reaching a height of 146 meters and constructed from 2.3 million stone blocks.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, built around 2560 BCE during the Fourth Dynasty, served as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu and remained the tallest structure for 3,800 years.
The pyramids represented gateways to the afterlife in ancient Egyptian beliefs, incorporating precise astronomical alignments and mathematical principles in their construction.
Visitors can access the interior chambers of the Great Pyramid through the ascending passage, while the site offers camel rides and guided tours around the complex.
Recent geological studies reveal that ancient builders transported limestone blocks from quarries using water channels during the annual Nile River floods.
