A Brief History of EgyptEgypt is one of the cradles of civilization The ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Egypt is the gift of the Nile meaning that it flourished on the top soil that was formed from silt brought by the recurrent floods of the Nile The country was founded and developed around river Nile for there is no rain in Egypt 2600 BC - 3d - 6th dynasty This was the period of great pyramid building beginning with the Pharaoh Djoser who built the step pyramid The pyramid tombs rapidly evolved into much more sophisticated structures built by Senefru Khufu (Cheops) Menkaure and others and visible today at Giza and elsewhere Ramses II ruled from 1279 to 1212 BC and is known for his prodigious building projects which raised temples statues and other monuments throughout Egypt He fought the battle of Qadesh (Kadesh) with the Hittites about 1275 and signed the first Peace Treaty to be recorded in history with the Hittites in 1259 He is thought to be the Pharoah of the biblical Exodus story who built cities such as pi-Ramses as recorded in the Old Testament using a conscripted labor system Among other sites Ramses II built the magnificent temple at Abu Simbel near Aswan Between 639 and 642 Egypt was conquered by the Arabs under Amr ibn-al-Asi in the reign of the Caliph Umar The last Arab dynasty to rule Egypt were the Ayoubids founded by the great Salah Eddin (Saladin) about 1171 Salah Eddin is famous for driving the crusaders out of Palestine concluding treaties with them that were eventually broken He and his successors fought against the crusaders until their expulsion The Ottoman Turks conquered Egypt in 1517 and inaugurated a long but mostly undistinguished period in Egyptian history

ndash These are the largest and sturdiest pyramids that were ever built in ancient Egypt
ndash Pharaoh Khufu Khafra and Menkaure built three pyramids of Giza

It is where
the famous
pyramids are
Khufus pyramid at Giza showing the plan of passages and burial chamber It is believed that the pyramid at Giza was built by slaves but this is not true One hundred thousand people worked on it for three months of each year This was the time of the Niles annual flood which made it impossible to farm the land and most of the population was unemployed The farm workers of nearby village were employed in the work Khufu also known as Cheops because he provided good food and clothing for his workers he was kindly remembered in folk tales for many centuries This structure has been a mystery and an enigma to mankind for ages Some believe that the Great Pyramid monument was a time capsule left by an advanced civilization for the future generation
The Bible does not mention the Great Pyramid of Egypt although it did exist long before Israel (Jacob)came into Egypt and it was there when Joseph and Mary brought the Messiah into Egypt afraid of Herodrsquos threat(Matt 213)
Pyramids
The pyramid is so geographically set in the center of the earth till theres never a shadow around it no matter where the sun is (William Branham)
What is unique about the Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the existing Seven Wonders of the Ancient World it has survived the ravages of time It is one of the oldest and the best built structures on the face of the earthThis pyramid is an architectural feat its mortar joints are consistently 150 of an inch which is an incredible craftsmanship Over two million stones have been used to construct the Pyramid No stone is weighing less than a ton most weighing about two and a half and some as much as 20 tonsThe Great Pyramid is a solid masonry covering over 13 acresFor forty-one centuries it has kept silent watch over the Nile DeltaWhen Moses was the Prince of Egypt and the Israelites were slaves the Pyramids were already there even Jacob would have gazed at the Pyramids when Joseph was the Chief official of EgyptEach succeeding generation has asked Why was it built and who was the architect of this structure which holds the measurements of the universe
One enters the Great Pyramid at the Descending Passage which has an elevation of 26 degrees 18 97 the elevation of the Pole Star Alpha Draconis the chief star in the Constellation of the Dragon or Great Serpent at that latitude in 2170BC around the time of the Flood The Great Pyramid represents the Earth that now is It is a perfect prophecy in stone so its Passageways are aligned with heavens which are now
All who endeavor to unlock its mysteries by measurements based on Earths present relationship with the heavens cannot hope to obtain correct answers as the pre-Flood year was one of only 360 days The knowledge displayed in the Great Pyramid is too advanced for humans of this time Thus this means that if the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid they had to get the design from some source Some believe that Elohim (God) designed and built the Great Pyramid structure The Bible shows that Elohim gave man designs for the structures He wanted them to build For example Elohim gave Israel the specifications to build the tabernacle (Ex 2540) Solomons and Zerruabbels Temple (I Chron 2818-19) Israel was not the first people that Elohim instructed to build something Noah was given instructions to build the ark (Gen 613-16 22)
The uniqueness about the Great Pyramid
Some Important Passages refer the PyramidJeremiah 3220 God has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even unto this day and in Israel and among other men and has made Himself a Name as at this day
Joshua 2226-27 Let us now prepare to build us an ALTAR not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice But that it may be a WITNESS between us and you and our generations after us that we might do the service of the Lord before Him
In Job 384-7 Earth is compared to a building Where were you when I laid the FOUNDATIONS of the Earth Declare if you have understanding Who laid the MEASURES thereof if you knowest or who stretched the LINE upon it Whereupon are the FOUNDATIONS thereof fastened or who laid the CORNER STONE thereof When the MORNING STARS sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy
Many theories are advocated as to the purpose of the Great Pyramid interestingly some scholars say ldquoPyramid is the Bible in Stonerdquo
The Great Pyramid has been called the Bible in stone because its passageways and chambers reveal geometrically in line and symbol the profound spiritual truths of the plan of redemption Silent geometry reveals a remarkable witness
An Engineering WonderSome of the dimensions and their correlation to astronomical calculations
The base unit of measurement in the Pyramids is 25052 inches The Pyramids inch is 10025 of our regular inch Each side of its base is 3652422 cubits which is the exact number of days in a solar year Now 36524 cubits occur five or six times somewhere within the pyramid that shows it was not a coincidence
The Pyramids perimeter the distance around the four sides of the base correlates with the circumference of the earth
Multiplying the height of the Pyramids 35th layer by 10 derives the distance of the earth from the sun
The base unit of measurement used by the Pyramid designer is ten-millionth of the earths polar radius Simply put it is one ten millionth the distance from the North Pole to equator
The number of days in a century (100 years) is 36524 days and corresponds to the total inches valued in the Pyramids perimeter
The number Pi is the mathematical constant 31415 with the ratio of the diameter to the distance around the circle called the circumference In the pyramid it is the ratio of the height to twice the length of the base
Isaiah 1919-20 saysIn THAT DAY there will be an ALTAR to the LORD in the MIDST of the land of Egypt and a PILLAR at the BORDER thereof to the Lord And IT shall be a SIGN and a WITNESS to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt for they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors and He will send them a Savior and a Great One and He shall deliver themldquoThe verses Isaiah 1919-20 in Hebrew are called Pyramid Text In the Hebrew language each individual letter has a numerical value Thus every word has the numerical value of the sum of the value of its letters If one adds up the numerical value of all the Hebrew characters in the Great Pyramid text the value is 5449 This is the height in inches of the Great Pyramid

What is Pyramid bull It is generally believed that Pyramids are the graves of the ancient Kings
to keep their mummified mortal remains The Greek word pyramislsquo means wheat cake The word pyramis was used to describe the ancient Egyptian buildings because they reminded the Greeks of pointy-topped wheat cakes
bull The pyramid had triangular sloping sides from four directions so that the dead pharaoh could symbolically climb to the sky and live forever
bull It is believed that the pyramid represent the rays of the sun The small pyramids are the
graves of the
queens

This is the large and tallest Pyramid of the world
it is at Giza built for pharaoh Khufu ndash It is also known as Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid
Grand View of Four
Giza Pyramids
The Great Pyramid was Gods Absolute that would preserve a great wealth of knowledge for the generations born after the Flood For instance the constant pi which more than a thousand years after the Flood the Egyptians did not know It reveals the shape of the earth its size and distance from the sun and that the Poles were flattened None of the later pyramids reveal such perfection of mathematical and architectural skills as The Great Pyramid

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The number Pi is the mathematical constant 31415 with the ratio of the diameter to the distance around the circle called the circumference In the pyramid it is the ratio of the height to twice the length of the base
Isaiah 1919-20 saysIn THAT DAY there will be an ALTAR to the LORD in the MIDST of the land of Egypt and a PILLAR at the BORDER thereof to the Lord And IT shall be a SIGN and a WITNESS to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt for they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors and He will send them a Savior and a Great One and He shall deliver themldquoThe verses Isaiah 1919-20 in Hebrew are called Pyramid Text In the Hebrew language each individual letter has a numerical value Thus every word has the numerical value of the sum of the value of its letters If one adds up the numerical value of all the Hebrew characters in the Great Pyramid text the value is 5449 This is the height in inches of the Great Pyramid

What is Pyramid bull It is generally believed that Pyramids are the graves of the ancient Kings
to keep their mummified mortal remains The Greek word pyramislsquo means wheat cake The word pyramis was used to describe the ancient Egyptian buildings because they reminded the Greeks of pointy-topped wheat cakes
bull The pyramid had triangular sloping sides from four directions so that the dead pharaoh could symbolically climb to the sky and live forever

This is the large and tallest Pyramid of the world
it is at Giza built for pharaoh Khufu ndash It is also known as Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

One enters the Great Pyramid at the Descending Passage which has an elevation of 26 degrees 18 97 the elevation of the Pole Star Alpha Draconis the chief star in the Constellation of the Dragon or Great Serpent at that latitude in 2170BC around the time of the Flood The Great Pyramid represents the Earth that now is It is a perfect prophecy in stone so its Passageways are aligned with heavens which are now
All who endeavor to unlock its mysteries by measurements based on Earths present relationship with the heavens cannot hope to obtain correct answers as the pre-Flood year was one of only 360 days The knowledge displayed in the Great Pyramid is too advanced for humans of this time Thus this means that if the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid they had to get the design from some source Some believe that Elohim (God) designed and built the Great Pyramid structure The Bible shows that Elohim gave man designs for the structures He wanted them to build For example Elohim gave Israel the specifications to build the tabernacle (Ex 2540) Solomons and Zerruabbels Temple (I Chron 2818-19) Israel was not the first people that Elohim instructed to build something Noah was given instructions to build the ark (Gen 613-16 22)
The uniqueness about the Great Pyramid
Some Important Passages refer the PyramidJeremiah 3220 God has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even unto this day and in Israel and among other men and has made Himself a Name as at this day
Joshua 2226-27 Let us now prepare to build us an ALTAR not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice But that it may be a WITNESS between us and you and our generations after us that we might do the service of the Lord before Him
In Job 384-7 Earth is compared to a building Where were you when I laid the FOUNDATIONS of the Earth Declare if you have understanding Who laid the MEASURES thereof if you knowest or who stretched the LINE upon it Whereupon are the FOUNDATIONS thereof fastened or who laid the CORNER STONE thereof When the MORNING STARS sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy
Many theories are advocated as to the purpose of the Great Pyramid interestingly some scholars say ldquoPyramid is the Bible in Stonerdquo
The Great Pyramid has been called the Bible in stone because its passageways and chambers reveal geometrically in line and symbol the profound spiritual truths of the plan of redemption Silent geometry reveals a remarkable witness
An Engineering WonderSome of the dimensions and their correlation to astronomical calculations
The base unit of measurement in the Pyramids is 25052 inches The Pyramids inch is 10025 of our regular inch Each side of its base is 3652422 cubits which is the exact number of days in a solar year Now 36524 cubits occur five or six times somewhere within the pyramid that shows it was not a coincidence
The Pyramids perimeter the distance around the four sides of the base correlates with the circumference of the earth
Multiplying the height of the Pyramids 35th layer by 10 derives the distance of the earth from the sun
The base unit of measurement used by the Pyramid designer is ten-millionth of the earths polar radius Simply put it is one ten millionth the distance from the North Pole to equator
The number of days in a century (100 years) is 36524 days and corresponds to the total inches valued in the Pyramids perimeter
The number Pi is the mathematical constant 31415 with the ratio of the diameter to the distance around the circle called the circumference In the pyramid it is the ratio of the height to twice the length of the base
Isaiah 1919-20 saysIn THAT DAY there will be an ALTAR to the LORD in the MIDST of the land of Egypt and a PILLAR at the BORDER thereof to the Lord And IT shall be a SIGN and a WITNESS to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt for they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors and He will send them a Savior and a Great One and He shall deliver themldquoThe verses Isaiah 1919-20 in Hebrew are called Pyramid Text In the Hebrew language each individual letter has a numerical value Thus every word has the numerical value of the sum of the value of its letters If one adds up the numerical value of all the Hebrew characters in the Great Pyramid text the value is 5449 This is the height in inches of the Great Pyramid

Some Important Passages refer the PyramidJeremiah 3220 God has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even unto this day and in Israel and among other men and has made Himself a Name as at this day
Joshua 2226-27 Let us now prepare to build us an ALTAR not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice But that it may be a WITNESS between us and you and our generations after us that we might do the service of the Lord before Him
In Job 384-7 Earth is compared to a building Where were you when I laid the FOUNDATIONS of the Earth Declare if you have understanding Who laid the MEASURES thereof if you knowest or who stretched the LINE upon it Whereupon are the FOUNDATIONS thereof fastened or who laid the CORNER STONE thereof When the MORNING STARS sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy
Many theories are advocated as to the purpose of the Great Pyramid interestingly some scholars say ldquoPyramid is the Bible in Stonerdquo
The Great Pyramid has been called the Bible in stone because its passageways and chambers reveal geometrically in line and symbol the profound spiritual truths of the plan of redemption Silent geometry reveals a remarkable witness
An Engineering WonderSome of the dimensions and their correlation to astronomical calculations
The base unit of measurement in the Pyramids is 25052 inches The Pyramids inch is 10025 of our regular inch Each side of its base is 3652422 cubits which is the exact number of days in a solar year Now 36524 cubits occur five or six times somewhere within the pyramid that shows it was not a coincidence
The Pyramids perimeter the distance around the four sides of the base correlates with the circumference of the earth
Multiplying the height of the Pyramids 35th layer by 10 derives the distance of the earth from the sun
The base unit of measurement used by the Pyramid designer is ten-millionth of the earths polar radius Simply put it is one ten millionth the distance from the North Pole to equator
The number of days in a century (100 years) is 36524 days and corresponds to the total inches valued in the Pyramids perimeter
The number Pi is the mathematical constant 31415 with the ratio of the diameter to the distance around the circle called the circumference In the pyramid it is the ratio of the height to twice the length of the base
Isaiah 1919-20 saysIn THAT DAY there will be an ALTAR to the LORD in the MIDST of the land of Egypt and a PILLAR at the BORDER thereof to the Lord And IT shall be a SIGN and a WITNESS to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt for they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors and He will send them a Savior and a Great One and He shall deliver themldquoThe verses Isaiah 1919-20 in Hebrew are called Pyramid Text In the Hebrew language each individual letter has a numerical value Thus every word has the numerical value of the sum of the value of its letters If one adds up the numerical value of all the Hebrew characters in the Great Pyramid text the value is 5449 This is the height in inches of the Great Pyramid

What is Pyramid bull It is generally believed that Pyramids are the graves of the ancient Kings
to keep their mummified mortal remains The Greek word pyramislsquo means wheat cake The word pyramis was used to describe the ancient Egyptian buildings because they reminded the Greeks of pointy-topped wheat cakes
bull The pyramid had triangular sloping sides from four directions so that the dead pharaoh could symbolically climb to the sky and live forever
bull It is believed that the pyramid represent the rays of the sun The small pyramids are the
graves of the

This is the large and tallest Pyramid of the world
it is at Giza built for pharaoh Khufu ndash It is also known as Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid was Gods Absolute that would preserve a great wealth of knowledge for the generations born after the Flood For instance the constant pi which more than a thousand years after the Flood the Egyptians did not know It reveals the shape of the earth its size and distance from the sun and that the Poles were flattened None of the later pyramids reveal such perfection of mathematical and architectural skills as The Great Pyramid

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

This is the large and tallest Pyramid of the world
it is at Giza built for pharaoh Khufu ndash It is also known as Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid
Grand View of Four
Giza Pyramids
The Great Pyramid was Gods Absolute that would preserve a great wealth of knowledge for the generations born after the Flood For instance the constant pi which more than a thousand years after the Flood the Egyptians did not know It reveals the shape of the earth its size and distance from the sun and that the Poles were flattened None of the later pyramids reveal such perfection of mathematical and architectural skills as The Great Pyramid

at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

This is the large and tallest Pyramid of the world
it is at Giza built for pharaoh Khufu ndash It is also known as Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

This is the large and tallest Pyramid of the world
it is at Giza built for pharaoh Khufu ndash It is also known as Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

The Great Pyramid stands 480 feet tall with a base of 750 feet in each direction forming a square at the bottom The pyramid contains around 2300000 individual blocks of stones each weighing over 25 tons on the average with some weighing over 16 tons and the granite roof slabs of Khufus burial chamber weigh over 50 tons
Another View of the Great Pyramid of Gaza built for Pharaoh Khufu
(also known as Cheops)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the greatest single building ever erected by mankind Its sides rise at an angle of 51deg52 and are accurately oriented to the four points of the compass The Great Pyramid is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometric precision of its layout and the accuracy of its stonecutting are truly amazing
This is the Second largest Pyramid built for Khufus son Khafra (also known as Chephren) As a mark of respect ot his Father it has been built smaller than the Great Pyramid

The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

TheSphinx
at Giza(Egypt)
The Great Sphinx
bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)

bull The Great Sphinx is a massive human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafras pyramid Historians largely accept the function of the Sphinx to have been that of a symbolic guardian
bull It stands adjacent to the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafra and most archeologists believe that it is his face that is depicted on that of the statue
bull The statue is carved out of one monolithic piece of rock and at 240 feet long 20 feet wide and 66 feet tall it is considered to be the biggest monument of its kind in the world
bull Legends have been told for many years about the Great Sphinx The story reads that one day a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx He had been hunting all day and was very tired He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he clear away the sand covering its body (the Great Sphinx was covered up in sand to its neck)
