Greeks to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A single
pyramid is built with 2.300.000 blocks, each weighing an
average of two and a half tones. In the face of such immensity,
one cannot help but feel the wonder and awe that so many
writers and artists have sought to convey over the centuries.

burial chambers are open for inspection by the public. Not far
from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates
from the time of Chephren (2620 BC). Hewn from natural
yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet-high and 187 feet-long, this unforgettable statue
