● The great pyramids of Giza
One of the most visited landmarks is the Giza Pyramid Complex, which attracts millions of people from all over the world. The Egyptian pyramids were built by the ancient Egyptians and served as a tomb for their pharaohs and queens. Located in the Egyptian deserts on the west bank of the Nile, the pyramids are magnificent complex structures that have puzzled the world. The pyramids of Giza are the last remaining structure of the seven wonders of the world. It is the only one that has survived a total of more than 4,500 years in good condition. There are around 100 pyramids that have been discovered by scholars to date. These pyramids are among the defining architectural achievements of antiquity and are a fascinating feat of engineering.

The pyramids were built in the Old Kingdom, between 2620 and 2500 BC. Many myths, puzzles, and secrets are entwined with their origins, their construction, and history. There is still a lot of discussion about these captivating buildings among Egyptologists. The pyramids of Giza have been rising out of the desert sand southwest of the Cairo metropolis for 4,500 years. The monstrous rock giants stand out mightily against the blue sky, at the same time they seem to merge with the earth colors of the sand.

How the construction of the pyramids was carried out with such precision with the means at that time remains a mystery to this day. Because of all things concerning the construction of these architectural masterpieces, of which there are more than 100 more along the river in addition to the three prime examples of Giza, the ancient Egyptians left nothing behind.
