Pyramid of Khafre at Giza

Pyramid of Khafre at Giza

Egypt is home to as many as 100 pyramids and the outstanding and famous of them all are the Pyramids of Giza. It is hard to imagine the close proximity of these historic social structures to the city of Cairo. After awakened up this morning to the constant hum of activity created by a city of or so 20 million people, we prepared ourselves for a day of cultural and historical risk. We drove 30 minutes South East and rapidly went far at the historic place that was nestled in the heavy city suburb of Giza. The size and the reach of the legendary stone mausoleums, which were constructed for the Kings and Queens of Egypt, were impressive. To me, the Nearly worrying of all the pyramids were the Pyramids of Giza, which comprise of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. These ancient social organisations are the last continuing of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Inside the Pyramid of Khafre

The Pyramid of Khafre was built for King Khafre of the 4th Dynasty, who was one of the replacements of Khufu. As I glanced up from the bad of the pyramid at the top it felt as though I was looking at the jagged flowers of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Range. In this representative, however, it was men who used basic tools to build this mountain of cut gem in an otherwise bare landscape.
