The most magnificent archaeological monument on Earth was created as the tomb of King Khufu (2609 BC - 2584 BC). It was designed by his chancellor Heminunu in 2570 BC, who completed the 147-meter-high, 6-million-ton pyramid in just 15 years. This structure remains the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.
The extraordinary Sphinx has long been regarded as more than just a captivating work of art; it is a legendary symbol of wisdom, grandeur, and strength. It features the face of Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC) resting atop an ancient lion’s body, measuring 20 meters (66 ft) in height, 73 meters (240 ft) in length, and 19 meters (62 ft) in width. Its missing beard is referenced on the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV, which was placed in 1407 BC.
The legendary and sacred Valley Temple is a mystical site created by the 4th dynasty for purification and immortality, designed to conduct the opening of the mouth ritual, allowing all to pass through the golden gates of heaven.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements of celestial wisdom, developed over 5000 years of continuous innovation and vibrant artistic expression.
