One of the seven ancient wonders of the world, the great pyramids of Giza are marvelous feats of architecture. The Giza complex consists of three large pyramids built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. The grand structures were built between 2589 BC and 2504 BC. How they were built has been a source of debate. The pyramids are part of the Giza Necropolis that also houses the Great Sphinx, smaller pyramids for queens and several complexes for the workers. Historians agree there was an immense amount of labor involved; technical ingenuity and skill that went into the pyramids helped the structures remain standing today. 📸: James J.

5moFantastic examples of ancient architecture. What a feat of engineering ! Evidently they were originally clad in white polished limestone with gold tops. Can you imagine coming across them at the time !?
