Nothing can withstand the passage of time, yet the magnificent Giza pyramids complex has remained standing for over 4,000 years, preserving the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Valley Temple, and the Sphinx in excellent condition.
The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu is a monumental royal tomb constructed in 2580 BC over a period of 20 years, reaching a height of 147 meters (481 feet). It features a fascinating complex interior built from 2,300,000 limestone blocks and was constructed by 100,000 laborers, making the Great Pyramid the only surviving structure among the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Positioned before the Pyramid of King Khafre stands an enormous ancient statue that serves as a guardian of the complex. It depicts a mythical creature with the face of a man and the body of a lion, measuring 73 m (240 ft) in length and 19 m (66 ft) in width.
The mummification process was how ancient Egyptians preserved their names for eternity, dating back to Egypt's Old Kingdom period (2686–2134 BC) within the valley temple, one of the most well-preserved and intact structures in Egypt.
