Pyramid is the most popular tourist attractions in Egypt. The experts still debate how they built this prehistoric magic. Dozens of buses are carrying tourists from other cities or from the port of Alexandria to arrive every day.
According to archaeologists, the Great Pyramid of Giza or Pyramids Khuffu built in 2560 BC; this is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis. It is the tallest man-made buildings.
Pyramid was not only admired for its grandeur from the outside but tourists can also enter a narrow tunnel 30 meters long. In order to protect the building structure and rocks from the flashes of light will not allow me to bring a camera into the tunnel.
This pyramid is estimated to have a volume of 2,500,000 cubic feet, a height of 146.6 meters and 230.5 meters wide base. Or the overall size of the base extends 922 meters. It is believed to be the tomb for the Egyptian kings and queens of ancient times.
Three tunnels inside the pyramid, the one on the bottom but not resolved, the other two is a tunnel to a King and one Queen Room tunnel.
To facilitate visitors enter the tunnel, the floor is made of iron beams sectional with wood base. When entering the tunnel which had a fairly sharp slope, it must be bent. And be ready with an oxygen room rather weak because the amount of visitors with the narrowness of unbalanced room plus there is no ventilation, like being in a cave.
Various souvenirs to tourists from the miniature pyramid of limestone rocks, ceramics and crystals can be obtained with a fairly cheap price. Of course, here there is no fixed price. All must pass the bargain. You must be offered at least ¾ of the bid. Then both sides will meet with the end of the agreed price.
If you want to ride camels and donkeys, local residents here provide a ride or just sit on a camel for the photo. In the area of three pyramids standing statue of the Sphinx is also famous throughout the universe, the earth. Sculptures depicting the human-headed lion are the largest monolith statue in the world. It is also a statue of the oldest monuments in the world, with 73.5 m long and 6 m in width and height of 20 meters. Sphinx could have been built in the days of ancient Egypt in the third millennium BCE. What kind of equipment on that was used in 2500 BC, to make such a big project?
