Photos of The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Pyramid of Khufu, as the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, is the largest and taller Egyptian-style pyramid in the world. Built around 2580 BC, this pyramid is not only a symbol of Egypt, it is also the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The appearance of the pyramids To visit the Pyramid of Khufu, you must first enter the Giza Pyramid Scenic Spot. After entering, the first thing you see is the Pyramid of Khufu. It is a relatively well-preserved pyramid so far. Although the top has been weathered for a long time, it is still a A huge building with a height of 40 stories. From a distance, the pyramid is an isosceles triangle on all sides, and the entire tower is made of 2.3 million boulders. At the foot of the pyramid, you can climb a few levels symbolically. Inside the Pyramid Of course, in addition to seeing the huge appearance of the pyramid from the outside, you can also visit the inside. Although ventilation equipment is installed inside the pyramid, it will still be stuffy due to the narrow tomb passage inside the pyramid, so it is recommended that tourists with poor health do what they can. The entrance to the tomb of the pyramid is at a height of 18 meters above the ground, and the entrance faces the Big Dipper. Photography is not allowed inside the interior, and the interior corridors are illuminated. Stepping on the steep wooden stairs after entering, you can imagine the ancient Egyptians carrying the pharaoh's sarcophagus, going up the corridor, and placing the sarcophagus in the secret chamber of the pyramid. Walking up the corridor step by step in the pyramid, the footsteps will become heavier, and people will feel more and more stuffy, and then come to the Pharaoh's secret room. The secret room is a small room made of granite, 42.28 meters above the ground. For many years, people thought the pyramids contained the treasures and mummies of the pharaohs. But when archaeologists entered the pyramid in 1881, they found that there was only an empty coffin in the middle tomb. In the pharaoh's secret room, you can see an open dark red granite empty sarcophagus placed in the middle of the secret room. Back then, the pharaoh's treasure had been looted, and only this empty coffin could not be moved. You can walk in and touch the empty coffin and see the ancient Egyptian writings and patterns on the empty coffin. In the secret room, some tourists may be seen lying directly on the ground, and some tourists are sitting cross-legged and closed their eyes. They seem to want to absorb the aura of the pyramid. To this day, many people still believe that the pyramids have a special power. From the secret room, walk slowly back along the corridor. As your eyes brighten, you return to the exit. In a moment, you may have a wonderful feeling of returning to the world.
