The Great Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, is the largest and oldest of the pyramids on the Giza Plateau, near Cairo, Egypt. Constructed around 2580–2560 BC during the Fourth Dynasty, it originally stood at 146.6 meters, making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Built with over 2.3 million limestone blocks, the pyramid showcases advanced engineering and precise alignment with the cardinal points. It served as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, embodying ancient Egyptian beliefs in the afterlife. Today, it remains the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a symbol of Egypt’s enduring cultural legacy.
