The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. It took approximately 20 years to build and has three burial chambers inside. When it was originally built (in approximately 2550 BC) it was almost 147 meters tall. Today, because of erosion, it is only about 139 meters tall. If you visit Egypt today you can enter the Great Pyramid through the Robbers' Tunnel.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of all Seven

Wonders of the World. This pyramid is the largest of all

three pyramids that border El Giza, Egypt and it is also

the largest pyramid ever built. The pyramid was built with

about 2.3 million stone blocks and it is thought to weigh

5.9 million tonnes. The ancient name of the Great Pyramid

of Giza was Khufu's Horizon. This pyramid is the only

one in Egypt known to have passages inside that go up and

go down. If you wanted to visit the king's chamber you

would have to walk down, all the way, bent over. The Great

Pyramid of Giza once had a swivel door at the entrance. It

weighed about 20 tonnes and could easily be pushed open

from the inside. On the outside it was very hard to find

because it fit perfectly. There are only two other pyramids

known to have had swivel doors. One was Khufu's father's

pyramid and the other was his grandfather's pyramid.

The mortar that was used to build the pyramid cannot be

reproduced today. Even though it has been analyzed they

still can't make it. It is stronger than the stone that was used

to build the pyramid and is still in place today. There has

been no writing or hieroglyphics found inside the Great pyramid of giza
