The Pyramid of Khufu Challenge!

Where: El Giza, Egypt
What: The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base.

Interesting facts:

Built: Around 2560 BC
Function: Tomb of Pharoah Khufu
Size: Height 480 ft. (146m)
Made of: About 2.3 million stone blocks and it is thought to weigh 5.9 million tonnes
Other: Tallest building in the world till 1311 AD and again from 1647 to 1874.
This pyramid is the largest of all three pyramids that border El Giza, Egypt and it is also the largest pyramid ever built.
There were three burial chambers inside. One of the chambers was built into the bedrock underground. The queen’s chamber was higher and the king’s chamber was the highest.
