Egypt's Pyramids – Wonders of the Ancient World

Egypt's Pyramids – Wonders of the Ancient World When it comes to jaw-dropping landmarks, Egypt's pyramids top the list. These ancient marvels have stood the test of time, leaving everyone from history buffs to casual tourists utterly amazed. Seriously, how did they pull off such architectural feats without cranes, bulldozers, or a YouTube tutorial? The Big Three: Giza Pyramids First up, let’s talk about the three amigos of the pyramid world: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The Great Pyramid, built for Pharaoh Khufu, is the largest of the trio and has been showing off as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World for centuries. Standing at a whopping 146.6 meters when it was built (it's a bit shorter now thanks to erosion), it’s a real "overachiever" in the pyramid family.
