Giza Pyramids Complex:
By the extensive efforts of the ancient Egyptian kings and the incredibly skilled workers, one of the most striking wonders in the world had came into existence between 2600 and 2510 BC. Giza Necropolis is honored to gather the three astonishing pyramids dedicated to pharaohs; Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus, along with the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and six other smaller pyramids.
The Great Pyramid of Cheops:
The Cheops Pyramid is the most giant (147 meters high) and the first pyramid ever built among other pyramids of Giza of 2,300,000 blocks. The pyramid was mainly founded as a royal tomb to host the mummy of Cheops, an Egyptian ruler of the 4th dynasty. Being the last surviving of the ancient world wonders, the Great Pyramid of Khufu became an exceptional phenomenon.
The Great Sphinx:
No sculpture in history is on the same level of popularity and uniqueness as the Great Sphinx. It was around 2500 BC, when Pharaoh Chephren started his construction of the greatest statue in Giza Plateau. Shaping a human head on a lion’s body, the Sphinx gained its name from the earlier Greeks as it resembles their mythical winged monster.
The Valley Temple:
The Valley Temple is a precious part of the Giza complex, which has no less historical significance than the other milestones in Giza. It stood as the most essential funerary temple in ancient Egypt, witnessing hundreds of royal mummification and purification and other funeral rituals.
