The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid lives up to its name as being Earth’s largest pyramid and is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It is 481 feet high, more than twice the size of the Step Pyramid of Djoser. This pyramid was built by Pharaoh Khufu in 2550bc in a city called Giza. The Great Pyramid was built with about 2.3 million stones that weighed about 2.5 to 15 tons each. There are three burial chambers in the Great Pyramid. The first one is called the Subterranean Chamber. It is located underground. The next two burial chambers are both located above ground. One was called the King’s Chamber and the other is called the Queen’s Chamber. The King’s chamber was built for the pharaoh.
