These are big triangular blocks that we call the Great Pyramids. The main one, the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, originally stands about 481 feet tall, and is one of the 7 wonders of the world. It is fascinating how the ancient Egyptians were able to construct such a perfect design without the technology we have today. The pyramids represent an important history of the ancient Egyptian culture because they served as tombs for pharaohs. I’d definitely recommend going to see them because they are absolutely beautiful but Egypt is currently one big pile of sh*t so I’d hold off on going to see them for now.
So how old were you when you first saw the pyramids, and what was your reaction?
“From the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.”—
