Great Pyramid of Giza

In 1806 Napoleon asked the architect Chalgrin to construct a gigantic triumphal arch in honour of the French Army. The top of the Chaillot hill had to be levelled, and the foundations gave some difficulty, so that by the time the new Empress Marie-Louise arrived in 1810, the arch was only a few feet high. As the Emperor insisted that his bride must drive into Paris through this new gateway, Chalgrin had to get friends from the Theatres of Paris to construct a fake arch of wood and canvas for the occasion. When Napoleon was defeated and exiled in 1814, work stopped, not to be started again till Louis-Philippe ordered it in 1832. It was finished in 1836.

With an average density of 2,6 - 2,9 t/m³ the large limestone blocks weighted 6.5 - 10 tons and the smaller ones about 1.3 tons. For all calculations on this website an average weight of 2.5 tons was used. Pyramid: Nummulite limestone from quarries about 200-400m south of the pyramid were used for the core stones.

The largest pyramid was made for the pharaoh Khufu and ties with his brother (Cheops) at 138 meters (455 ft.)

The world's largest pyramid by volume is the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico, which is still under excavation. This pyramid is only about half the height of the Great Pyramid at Giza, standing to 66 metres, but has a total volume of 4.5 million cubic metres - 2 million more cubic metres than the Egyptian equivalent.

Close to the Red Sea and next to the Nile River!

The Amazonian region (or the Oriente), the Andes region (or the Sierra), the coastal region (or the Costa), and the insular (or Galapagos) region.

Answer: The Great Pyramid at Giza was built for the Old Kingdom Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops to the Greeks. Khufu was the son of Snefru, founder of the Fourth Dynasty, who built the Bent Pyramid. Khufu may have ruled from about 2589 to 2566 B.C.

Pharaohs were buried in the tombs along with their belongings, that could include their possessions, their dog and even their wife could be killed and put in the tomb with the pharaohs. They did this because in what they believe as the "afterlife" they would come back and have all their possessions with them. Hope this helped!! :)

The elite core of skilled workers and scribes were paid in kind as money had not been invented. They too would got their food, clothing, vast quantities of beer, a town to live in and even health care.

As for the slaves only food and shelter, no clothes, as a slave you went naked.

The bent pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza is 146.5 meters tall. Lincoln Cathedral, in England, was the first building claimed to been taller. From 1300 - 1549 its tallest spire was reported to have been 159.7 meters high. However the spire blew off during a storm 1549.

The oldest structure still standing taller than the Great Pyramid is St. Nicholas' Church in Hamburg, Germany. In 1874 its spire reached a height of 147.3 meters.

Generally the role of sphinxes was as temple guardians; they were placed in association with architectural structures such as royal tombs or religious temples. The great Sphinx is positioned at the Temple of the Sphinx and at the end of the cause way leading from the Funerary Temple of Khafre.

well since about a million people have been in gold mines it is rare to find gold in them but if you look in caves or dig 5 to 10 feet in dirt you maybe just maybe find gold but really youe chances of finding gold are 5 to 9999 so sorry. by brittani bell i am 10 years old and in 5 grade and this was made in may 19 2009

This is a question no one can answer because,

we believe that over millions of people died during the making of pyramids. In other words no one knows how many people died building the pyramid.

4 to 5 months

The Great Pyramid at Giza is about 30 feet shorter now than it originally was because of exposure to the elements. Over the thousands of years since its construction, weather and wind have eroded the limestone and capstone. The land has also shifted and caused some of the pyramid to sink. While 30 feet seems like a lot, the shrinking has occurred over many years.

A pryamid has four sides.

The pyramid complexes of Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure collectively make up the site known as the Great Pyramids of Giza. However, the solitary Great Pyramid of Giza was built by Pharaoh Khufu alone.

The rooms connect by passages that also lead outside of the pyramid, yes also I know i'm a little late but I'm learning about ancient Egypt right now. Hope this helped for anyone!

The smallest main pyramid is the Pyramid of Menkaure.

From Greek mathematics. That's why a pyramid in geometry is called a pyramid, not because they named the shape after Egyptian monuments.

from scientists opinions i think that there is booby traps because we don't know what is real or what isn't but all we know is that people have check out in pyrimids AND PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED IT !!
