Egyptian pyramid of Pharaoh Cheops at Giza

The oldest and at the same time the only preserved miracle of the world. It received its name by the name of its creator - Pharaoh Cheops (2551 - 2528 BC).
Because of its huge size, it is sometimes called the Great Pyramid and placed first on the list of wonders of the world. Apart from the Great Wall of China, the pyramid of Cheops is the largest structure ever built by man. In ancient times, the pyramid of Cheops reached 146 meters, now the upper part of the pyramid is destroyed and its current height is 137 meters.

Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre

Rises at a distance of about 160 meters from the pyramid of Cheops. Its height is 136.6 meters (previously 143.5), and the length of the side is 210.5 meters. Visually, the pyramid of Khafre, retaining 22 rows of facing, seems to be higher than the pyramid of Cheops. The effect is achieved due to the fact that its base is at a higher level. In general, from those points that carry tourists, the pyramid of Khafre seems to be the center of the whole ensemble. The uniqueness of this structure lies in the fact that it is the smallest building in the world of all discovered to date. This pyramid was called "Khafre great." Of course, it justifies this characteristic. The buildings adjacent to it are also worthy of the name. The size of the surviving structures surpass all other known buildings of this kind, belonging to the period of the Old Kingdom.

Egyptian Pyramid of Mikerina

The smallest and most "junior" of all three pyramids of the Giza complex. Pyramid of Mikerin, grandson of Cheops, is located 200 meters from the pyramid of Khafre. Its height is 62 meters, and the length of the side is about 109 meters. It was built over 4,500 years ago. In its original form, the pyramid was about 4 m higher than it is now. Due to sand deposits protecting the lower part of its lining, the length of the sides of the pyramid remained unchanged. Ancient historians considered it the most beautiful of all the pyramids.

Valley of the Kings

In the mountains outside the city of Thebes begin numerous small valleys, the most famous of which is the Valley of the Kings, or the "Valley of the Royal Tombs of Biban el-Muluka": the tombs of Ramses IX, Ramses VI, Tutankhamun, Amenophis II, Tuthmosis III, Seti I. Once it there was a gorge, lost among a pile of rocks. Today, despite the fact that people have laid convenient roads here, it remains shrouded in a haze of mysterious mystery.
