The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops, is a massive pyramid located in Giza, Egypt. It is one of the three pyramids in the Giza Pyramid Complex and is the largest of the three.
The Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, around 2560 BCE. It stands at a height of 146 meters (480 feet) and consists of an estimated 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing around 2.5 tons.
The construction of the Great Pyramid is still a topic of debate among scholars, but it is believed that the pyramid was built over a period of around 20 years by a workforce of tens of thousands of skilled laborers and craftsmen.
The Great Pyramid has been studied and admired for centuries due to its impressive size and the precision of its construction. It is also a popular tourist destination, with visitors from around the world coming to marvel at its grandeur and learn about the history of Ancient Egypt.
