Some
information
There are multiple pyramids at Giza, and
one of them is known as the Great Pyramid. This particular mausoleum was on
flat land which measured about two hundred and thirty square meters. Its
construction began in 2000 BC and was about one hundred and forty-seven meters
high. The reason to discuss this particular burial chamber is because of its
uniqueness. The king’s tomb isn’t above or below the ground; a fact which is
quite intriguing. You will get to knowthe actual location at the Giza pyramid sound and light show.
The pyramid contains approximately more than two million stone blocks, each of
which weight close to three tons.
About
the construction
Pyramids are present everywhere in
Egypt, but the largest one is the pyramid of Giza. Almost a hundred thousand
builders devoted their blood and sweat into its construction. These workers and
builders moved the immensely massive and weighty stones and put them in place.
The former mausoleum mentioned here in this topic is the Pyramid of Khufu. The
pharaoh’s son, Khafre, built another pyramid at Giza beside the father’s burial
ground. However, the Pyramid of Khafre is on top of a hill to create an optical
illusion of height. In reality, the Pyramid of Khafre is shorter than the
Pyramid of Khufu. You will learn more at the Giza pyramid sound and light show.
The
attraction of pyramids
The enticing characteristic of these
monuments is profound. Not only travelers of today but people in ancient times
used to visit Egypt to see them too. Historians like Herodotus visited Egypt to
witness the pyramids. Queen Cleopatra’s lover climbed on one of the monuments.
There are also stories which say that Napoleon Bonaparte slept inside one of
the pyramids. These constructions charm every individual regardless of their
stature. Then again, there are disagreements among scientists of today as to
how the ancients built such technologically advanced creations. The longer the
discussion goes, the more issues will spring up. It will be best for you to
arrive in Egypt and try to uncover the mysteries yourself.

of Giza are magnificent by all means. No one knows how the people of the past
created these monstrously beautiful buildings. However, it is one mystery which
doesn’t require a solution. It is the epitome of knowledge, resourcefulness,
