Construction

The Great Pyramid of Giza is started as a tomb for Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (known in Greek as Cheops). The base is an almost perfect square, with the greatest deviation from a right angle only 0.05 percent. The orientation of its sides is exactly north-south and east-west. Completion takes about a quarter century. See also 2590 bce Construction; 1600 bce Construction.
