There are three main Pyramids here, which were built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 4650 B.C). The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built as tombs for Kings (and Queens), and it was the exclusive privilege to have a Pyramid tomb. However, this tradition only applied in the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Today there are more than 93 Pyramids in Egypt; the most famous ones are those at Giza. 埃及向來以金字塔聞名於世,大大小小金字塔加起來約 96 座,大部分座落於吉薩西緣的沙漠高原地帶,於是又統稱為吉薩金字塔(Giza),是世界七大奇觀中唯一存留下來的。吉薩金字塔群中以古夫金字塔最大(Khufu),外觀壯觀宏偉,氣勢磅礡。據說是 30 多萬人花了 30 年的時間建成的。古夫王金字塔的斜度為最完善的 51 度 52 分,佔地 230 平方公尺。 原高 146 公尺,頂端有一座 10 公尺高的小金字塔,昊被移除,現在的高度為 137 公尺。 古夫金字塔是由 230 萬塊石頭堆砌而成,最輕的一塊石頭至少 2.5 噸(2,500公斤),最重的一塊石頭甚至高達 50 噸(50,000公斤)。
