1. The Great Pyramid

   The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids in the Giza Pyramids Complex. Built around 2580-2560 BCE during the Fourth Dynasty, it originally stood at 481 feet tall and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Constructed from millions of limestone blocks, the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu. It remains one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian engineering and architectural prowess.

The Great Sphinx of Chephren

The Great Sphinx of Chephren, also known as the Great Sphinx of Giza, is a monumental limestone statue located near the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. Believed to have been carved during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (Chephren) around 2500 BCE, the Sphinx features the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, likely representing Khafre himself. Measuring about 240 feet in length and 66 feet in height, the Great Sphinx is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt.
