The Great Pyramid of Giza is an ancient structure created as a tomb for Egyptian pharaohs, particularly for Pharaoh Khufu during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Constructed around 2580–2560 BC, it is the largest of the three pyramids located at Giza, near Cairo, and is the only surviving structure of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid reflects the Egyptians’ advanced understanding of architecture and engineering, as well as their complex religious beliefs surrounding the afterlife, ensuring that the pharaoh would be honored and protected in the next world.
