With The Sphinx and Giza Pyramids,watch the greatness of the
Giza Pyramids; it includes three pyramids known as Cheops, Chephren, and
Mykerinus. These pyramids especially the Great Pyramids of Giza are some of the
most magnificent man-made structures in history, built from roughly 2550 to
2490 B.C. Take memorable photos with Sphinx which has always represented Egypt
with its distinguished shape as it has a human head and a lion body.
The Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx Secrets
The pyramids of Giza, the most
celebrated monument on our planet, have attracted travelers and scholars since
ancient times, In the 5th century BC, the Greek historian ,
Herodotus, was the first to write about these colossal buildings, by
far the largest in the ancient world, speculating at length on the method and
cost of their construction, since then for generations, they have evoked the
mystery and fabled wealth of ancient Egypt.
Herodotus was told that the
pyramids of Giza are tombs, but by the Middle Ages, their very purpose had
become a matter for speculation. In the 9th century , the Arabs
tunneled into the Great pyramid of Cheops in search of gold, Five hundred years
later, sir John Mandeville called them ( Joseph's Barns), thinking them
graneries , ( It is not likely that they are tombs )
More scientific inquiries over
the last two centuries have re- established them as tombs but the techniques
which achieved such mathematical precision with the tools available and the
motivation for building them are still in question.
Recent excavations around Giza
pyramids and Sphinx, however, have shown that there are many more discoveries
to be made here which may yet provide the answers.
No longer isolated on the desert
plateau, Giza pyramids are now approached from the dense urban congestion of
one of the world's largest city. As Al Qahirah ( Cairo ) throws out its
tentacles further and further into the countryside, It threaten to engulf the
only surviving example of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World
