The Great Pyramid of Giza, built for Pharaoh Khufu, is considered the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World primarily due to its age and the fact that it is the only one still largely intact. Constructed around 2580–2560 BCE, it exemplifies the peak of pyramid-building technology and serves as a testament to ancient Egyptian architectural and engineering prowess. Unlike the other wonders, which were built later and have since been destroyed, the Great Pyramid has endured through millennia, making it a lasting symbol of ancient civilization.
