Description: The Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Great Pyramid, is the last remaining wonder of the ancient world and the largest of the three pyramids of Giza. Built during the Old Kingdom, it stands as a monumental testament to Egyptian architecture. Pharaoh Cheops commissioned the construction of this massive structure around 2620 to 2580 BC. Originally standing at a height of 146.6 meters, it was once covered in a smooth, white casing of Tura limestone, which has since disappeared. The pyramid, comprised of approximately 2.3 million stone blocks, continues to awe visitors from around the globe with its grandeur and significance.
