THE GREAT PYRAMID
People naturally associate Egypt with pyramids and the Great Pyramid at Giza outshone them all. Built during the Early Kingdom, these massive structures have endured the test of time.
The Three Pyramids at Giza
There are actually more than three pyramids at Giza, but it is these three of the largest that capture our attention and which can be seen from the city of Cairo..
One can still see a portion of the limestone covering that once adorned all of the pyramids. These have long since been stripped away to erect mosques and palaces.
Building Blocks
The stones that make up the Great Pyramid are massive in their proportion.
One is hard pressed to capture the immense size of the pyramids with a camera.
