The sphinx is magnificent, with a solemn expression and staring into the distance. The statue sits west to east, crouching beside khalaf's mausoleum.

6. pyramid of khufu

brief introduction

Pyramid of khufu was built about 2580 years ago and completed 2560 years ago. It is the largest and most famous pyramid in the world, and it is also the largest single ancient building in the world. It is made of 2.3-2.5 million pieces of limestone, representing ancient civilization and mystery. The current height is138.74m (the original height is146.59m, which is about 50 stories high, but the height has declined due to years of weathering and earthquake damage). Pyramid of khufu was the tallest building in the world for more than 4,000 years before the completion of the Eiffel Tower 1889. Extraordinary shape and perfect geometric angle make this magnificent building full of mystery.

Around pyramid of khufu, there are some members of the royal family (the Queen, Khufu's wife and Khufu's sister) and some cemeteries of dignitaries. From a distance, they look like stars holding the moon, which sets off the unparalleled strength of pyramid of khufu. You know, being buried next to Pharaoh at that time was Pharaoh's greatest favor and reward to his family and important officials.

In principle, climbing is forbidden outside pyramid of khufu, but if you don't take the stairs and climb only the first few floors, the police will generally leave you alone. If you are really curious, you can also visit the mainland. However, the internal passage is narrow and steep, so it is necessary to bend over and walk, and the air circulation is not smooth. More importantly, there are no exquisite funerary objects in it-they are basically empty, so it is not recommended for people with weak health.
