"From the summit of these monuments" cried Napoleon "forty centuries look upon you!"…by these few words, Napoleon could express the logic defying and the mystery of these magnificent structures..
The pyramids are the only one from the seven ancient world wonders to have survived nearly in good condition. The funerary Great Pyramid of Khufu is the oldest at Giza and the largest in the world, built nearly in 2500 B.C. with about 2.3 million limestone blocks, and each one weights an average 2.75 tons, and constructed by a force of around 20,000 workers. Two smaller pyramids nearby belonged to Khufu's son and grandson.
