Pyramids of Giza

The three pyramids of the pharaohs Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos are not far from the Egyptian capital Cairo. They were built around four and a half thousand years ago during the fourth dynasty. How the construction of the pyramids was carried out with such precision using the means of the time is still a mystery today. In any case, the Egyptians must have an extremely high level of knowledge in mathematics, natural sciences, logistics and astronomy. In the immediate vicinity there is another Egyptian landmark, the Great Sphinx of Giza, which was possibly intended to serve as a guardian of the pyramids. A visit to the world cultural heritage site is a must for most visitors to Egypt.
