The most significant archaeological discovery in history is the golden Giza Pyramids Complex, constructed during the Old Kingdom period (2700–2200 BC) by the 4th Dynasty.
The magnificent Great Pyramid of King Khufu (2609 BC - 2584 BC) is a remarkable masterpiece that has endured through the ages since its construction around 2570 BC, remaining the sole surviving wonder of the seven ancient marvels. It originally measured 146.6 meters (481 feet) in height. This architectural marvel is exemplified by its impressive features, including the King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber, the Grand Gallery, and several other intricate spaces.
The legendary Sphinx is a magnificent example of ancient art and architecture, enduring through the ages to commemorate King Khafre (2558–2532 BC). It features his face on the body of a prehistoric lion, measuring 73 meters (240 ft) in length, 20 meters (66 ft) in height, and 19 meters (62 ft) in width.
The magnificent Valley Temple is an archaeological masterpiece that holds the power to grant immortality through the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, which was created during the 4th Dynasty.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a prestigious gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements in cosmic knowledge and creativity, developed over 5,000 years of ongoing innovation and rich artistic expression. Within this monumental site lies a unique opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable archaeological monuments and artifacts ever uncovered, including:
