Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
Three ancient
Pyramids are located at Giza city (Egypt), ancient necropolis of Memphis.
The
Necropolis stands on Giza Plateau, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt.
This Ancient Egyptian necropolis consists of
Khufu Pyramid (known as the Great Pyramid or the Pyramid of Cheops), somewhat
smaller Khafre Pyramid (or Chephren), and the relatively
modest-size Menkaure Pyramid (or Mykerinus), along with a number
of smaller satellite edifices, known as "queens" pyramids, causeways
and valley pyramids, and most noticeably the Great Sphinx.
Associated with these royal monuments are the tombs of high
officials and much later burials and monuments associated with the
reverence to those buried in the necropolis. This complex of ancient
monuments is located eight km inland into the desert from Giza town on the Nile, 20 km southwest of Cairo city
centre.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and last
remaining of the Seven Wonders of the World. Egyptologists generally
agree the pyramid was constructed over a 20 year period concluding
around 2560 BC. It is generally believed the Pyramid of Giza was built
as the tomb of Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharoh Khufu (Cheops), after
whom it is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu.
Khufu's vizier, Hemiunu, is credited as the Pyramid of Giza
architect.
As researchers believe the construction of The
Great Pyramid of Giza over-went several phrases. First of all the the
room for the construction was prepared. Then stone blocks were
transported and placed (a mountain or stones are hardily locate at
the nearest 400 miles around the area). After the surface of stones
was smoothed the blocks were put in a place. Researchers propose
about the technical pyramid construction issue, therefore it is
still a mystery. Following general estimations, it was
calculated that to build the Pyramid of Knufu - The Great Pyramid of Giza - it should work from 5 to 6 thousands people for around 35
- 40 years every day.
