It was built over a period of twenty years during the reign of Khufu (2589-2566 BC, also known as Cheops), the son of Snefru, the king of the 4th Dynasty, the founding pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt.<\/p>\n<h3>The Greatest Pyramid; \u200bCheops Pyramid Features<\/h3>\n<p>The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops or the Pyramid of Khufu, is the Egyptian identification symbol and the oldest of the three main pyramids on the Giza plateau. This pyramid was built around 2570 BC and is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In fact, it is the only Ancient Miracle that remains largely intact.<\/p>\n<p>The last remnant of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, the great pyramids of Giza are perhaps the most famous and controversial structures in history. These colossal monuments were unprecedented for thousands of years after they were built and continue to amaze and fascinate us with their overwhelming mass and seemingly impossible perfection.<\/p>\n<p>Measuring 146 or 147 meters (479 or 482 feet) high, the Great Pyramid consists of 300,000 blocks and more than two million tons of stone. When people talk of the &#8220;Pyramids of Giza&#8221; they are typically talking about the three great pyramids found in the Giza complex. These three pyramids include the Great Pyramid and its two neighbors, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The pyramids were built as the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. The inside of the pyramid is the &#8220;King&#8217;s Chamber&#8221; where the sarcophagus is located.<\/p>\n<p>While many theories persist as to the purpose of the pyramid, the most widely accepted understanding is that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the king. However, exactly how it was built still amazes people today. It is thought to have been built by the Egyptians, most likely using technological tools so common to them that they did not need to register them. Contrary to popular belief that they were built using Hebrew slave labor, the pyramids of Giza and all other temples and monuments in the country were built by Egyptians, who were hired for their skills and rewarded for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing to do while on the Giza Plateau is undoubtedly to see the three colossal pyramids of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/en\/history-of-art\/ancient-egyptian-art-and-architecture.html\">Ancient Egyptian<\/a> architecture that dominate the landscape. To fully appreciate its size, approach the Great Pyramid with its massive Limestone blocks and try to imagine its experience. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/en\/history-of-art\/egyptian-pyramids.html\"><em>Egyptian Pyramids<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25411\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25411\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features-650x488.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features-650x488.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features-510x382.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.arthipo.com\/artblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/The-Greatest-Pyramid-\u200bCheops-Pyramid-Features.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Greatest Pyramid; \u200bCheops Pyramid Features Where is the Cheops Pyramid?

It is a rocky plateau near Al-J\u012bzah (Giza) on the west bank of the Nile River. It is on the edge of the Western Desert, about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) west of the Nile River and about 13 kilometers (8 miles) southwest of Cairo city centre.<\/p>\n<p>By Private Taxi:\u00a0The easiest and most popular way to get here for independent travelers is to hire a taxi for a half-day trip in Cairo. The taxi can then take you around the site (if you want) and then return you to the city centre. If you hire a one-way taxi, you can find a return taxi that will take you back to the city from the Sphinx entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Urban Transportation:\u00a0You can reach the pyramids by using the combination of Cairo Metro and minibus. Take the metro to <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/RLeNv4G3aDF7SWaYA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Giza<\/a> and then take a minibus (just outside the Giza metro station exit) or a taxi to the pyramids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u200bCheops Pyramid \u200b\u200bCheops Pyramid is the largest pyramid, an identifying symbol of Egypt, and the last of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World.
