2. History
The Pyramids of Giza are an architectural
marvel located on the Giza Plateau on the
outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. They were built during
the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, around
2580 B.C. to 2560 B.C.
3. GEOGRAPHY
The Great Pyramid of Giza is located on the Giza
Plateau near Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
It is situated on the western side of the Nile River,
southwest of the modern city of Giza.
4. DESCRIPTION
The Pyramids of Giza, located in Egypt, are a set of
three majestic structures built around 2580 B.C. for
the pharaohs Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus.
5. FEATURES

passages. The king's chamber and the queen's chamber are
the best known.
The king's chamber houses the sarcophagus of Pharaoh
Khufu, although no mummy has been found inside.
6. INTERESTING FACTS
Astronomical accuracy and alignment: The
pyramids of Giza are remarkably aligned with
great precision with respect to the cardinal points.
Polished Coating Layer: Originally, the pyramids
were covered by a polished coating layer of white
limestone, which reflected sunlight.
Advanced Engineering: The construction of the
pyramids involves advanced engineering to
transport and place extremely heavy stone blocks.
RECENT DISCOVERIES
Inside this monumental body, the
study explains, lie some large
structures connected by narrow
corridors: an abandoned
underground chamber, the
queen's chamber, the great
gallery, and the king's chamber.
7. ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of the Pyramids of Giza is
a monumental achievement that reflects
the skill and advanced knowledge of the
ancient Egyptians in engineering and
construction.
8. The Pyramids of Giza have been the subject of
exploration, study and admiration, and despite
modern technological and scientific advances,
some aspects of their construction remain a
mystery. Recent archaeological research and
discoveries continue to provide new insights
into the ancient Egyptian civilization and the
extraordinary skill of its builders.
