Giza Pyramids Complex :
It is an archaeological site of ancient Egypt that has been the witness of the most valuable legacy of history, where the pharaohs of the 4th dynasty built their own tombs in three unique pyramids. The three most important pyramids are named after Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure, and the most important one is the Cheops pyramid because of its massive structure.
The Great Pyramid :
One of the most amazing works of heavenly arts and everlasting architecture is the great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu (2609 BC – 2584 BC) built in 2570 BC by the chief architect and vizier Henmiunu made up of 2.3 million huge blocks of limestone weighing 2.5 million tons making a total weight of 6 million tons and facing all the four directions of the compass. It is an amazing wonder of the ancient world and its total height is 138.5 meters (454.4 feet).
The Great Sphinx :
The Great Sphinx is the permanent symbol of wisdom and power in Giza Pyramids Complex because that is why it has been created with the head of a human representing Pharaoh Khafre (2558 – 2532 BC) and body of a lion. The Sphinx is 73 meters in height and 20 meters in width, and several myths say that the amazing Sphinx was created to be the guard of Giza Plateau.
