The Great Pyramid of Giza is an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time. The pyramid looms large, a testament to its builders' ingenuity. Did you know it was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years? At a height of 481 ft., the precision in its construction is bewildering. The base is accurate within inches, each side being 756 feet. Workers quarried an estimated 2.3 million large blocks, weighing near 6 million tons in total. Inside, the King's Chamber holds a large granite sarcophagus. It is actually too large to fit through the chamber's doorway. Smooth, white limestone covered the pyramid in its original glory. Beneath the pyramid lies a network of tunnels and chambers, still shrouded in mystery. The Great Pyramid has survived millennia, wars, and natural disasters. It continues to stand as a silent to human history and achievements.
