The Great Pyramid of Giza is located in Egypt, on the Giza Plateau near Cairo. Constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around 2580–2560 BCE, it is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one to remain largely intact. Originally built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), the pyramid serves as an extraordinary testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and ingenuity, using millions of limestone blocks laid with elaborate precision. It stands at an impressive height of 146.6 meters (481 feet), reflecting the Egyptians' architectural skill and their beliefs about the afterlife.
