Great Pyramid of Giza

Ancient and Classical Monuments

The largest of the three pyramids at Giza, built as the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu around 2560 BCE and, for almost 3,800 years, the tallest man-made structure on Earth. Its precise astronomical alignment and the scale of its construction remain a benchmark of ancient engineering.
