Giza’s Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid of Giza also known as Pyramid of Khufu was fourth reign Pharaoh Kufu of Egypt. This pyramid is the ancient and the biggest known pyramids located in El Giza. It took almost 20 years to finish this pyramid. It was around 2551 BC when it was completed. It is also known as the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World. After the completion, it was the tallest construction completed by man and it remained for more than 3800 years. In the innovative structure, the pyramid is in even form the outer section because it is covered by stone. However after the passage of time there are some changes in that but the shape of pyramid is as it is. It is believed that the great pyramid is made with the help of 2.3 million limestone chunks. The latitude of this wonderful construction is 30 degrees towards the north. This pyramid of Giza is visible from many parts of the town. It is still a mystery that how people made an awesome structure at that time when the technology was not that much advanced like present. It is believed that the weight of each stone block is of 2.3 tons. The overall weight of the great pyramid is more than 6 million tons. The triangular arrangement is more or less all right but the other sections of the pyramid looks like affected by rainwater and sunbeams. If we go to the inner compartments of the pyramid then we will find them very interesting. The temperature is very high and the walking sections are not easy to understand. Within the pyramid there are diverse committal compartments of king as well as queen. There are tombs from where people have stolen the things centuries before. People believe that it was built in the between the era of 2589-2566 BC.
