Great Pyramid of Giza

DID YOU KNOW? The Great Pyramid of Giza weighs 6.5 million tons! The Great Pyramid of Giza is located at the northern edge of the Giza plateau. It was built as a tomb for Egyptian King Khufu and is also known as the Pyramid of Khufu. It is the largest of Egypt's pyramids. It was the tallest structure in the world for close to 4,000 years. Today, it stands at 449.5 feet having lost 31 feet due to erosion. The base of the Great Pyramid is a square with each side measuring 756 feet that can fit nearly 10 football fields. The four triangular sides slope equally from the base precisely 51 degrees. Each side has an area of 5.5 acres. There are currently 203 levels of steps to its summit. Construction started in 2540 BC and took 23 years to complete. The Great Pyramid contains nearly 2.3 million blocks. Average weight per block of stone is 7 tons. Workers would have set a block every 2.5 minutes, 7 days a week to finish in 23 years. Over the centuries, the pyramid was stripped of its casing stones to use in rebuilding bridges, mosques, and palaces. You could build 30 Empire State Buildings with its masonry. The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one still standing.
