The Pyramids of Khufu, primarily known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, are one of the most iconic structures of ancient Egypt. Built during the Fourth Dynasty around 2580–2560 BC, it is the largest of the three pyramids on the Giza plateau and originally stood at about 146.6 meters (481 feet). The pyramid served as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) and is a remarkable feat of engineering, constructed with millions of limestone blocks. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remains a significant symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization.
