✨1:The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of all 7 Wonders of the World:

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of all Seven Wonders of the World and is the largest of all three pyramids that border El Giza, Egypt and it is also the largest pyramid ever built.

✨2:The Great Pyramid Was Constructed Between 2560 and 2540 BCE:

Khufu began work on the Great Pyramid at Giza. The largest of all the tombs built in the ancient world, the Great Pyramid is the centerpiece of a complex containing tombs for Khufu’s wives, a mortuary temple, valley temple, boat pits, and a causeway.

✨3:Almost 2.3 Million Stone Blocks Were used To Build The Pyramid of Giza:

The Great Pyramid is thought to be constructed of over 2.3 million stone blocks and it is thought to weigh 5.9 million tonnes, though it remains a mystery as to how they were transported. Historians estimate that more than 100,000 people were involved in the construction of it.

✨4:The Pyramid of Giza Has Shrunk By Almost 25 Feet:

At present, the Great Pyramid of Giza stands only about 455 feet tall, as four millennia of erosion has sliced 25 feet of stone from the structure.

✨5:The Ancient Name of The Pyramid of Giza:

The ancient name of the Great Pyramid of Giza was Khufu's Horizon.

✨6:Swivel Doors of Pyramid of Giza:

The Great Pyramid of Giza once had a swivel door at the entrance. It weighed about 20 tonnes and could easily be pushed open from the inside. But on the outside, it was very hard to find because it fit perfectly. There are only two other pyramids known to have had swivel doors. One was Khufu’s father’s pyramid and the other was his grandfather’s pyramid.

✨7:Presence of No Hieroglyphics Inside It:

There has been no writing or hieroglyphics found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.

✨8:Presence of 3 Burial Chambers Inside It:

There are three burial chambers inside it. One of the chambers was built into the bedrock underground. The queen’s chamber was higher and the king’s chamber was the highest. Khufu didn’t intend to use the queen’s chamber for any of his wives. It is thought that he intended to use it for a statue of himself.

✨9:It Is The Tallest Man-Made Structure In The World For Thousand Of Years:

At 481 feet tall, the Great Pyramid overshadowed every structure ever built until the completion of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311 CE which was around 525 feet high before the collapse of its central spire in 1548.

✨10:Historians Believe skilled Laborers Built it:

Historians believe that more than 20,000-30,000 skilled laborers, including stonemason, engineers, architects, surveyors, builders, and other craftsmen, were appointed to construct Khufu’s temple. Egyptologists Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass theorize that a small crew worked year-round on the project, while a larger collection of workers was summoned during the summer months when the Nile flooded the surrounding valley and integrated with the permanent labor force.
