dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the
pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10 to 20-year period
concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (481
feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in
the world for over 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid
