The complex consists of the big sphinx, the Valley temple’s everlasting preservation chamber, six smaller pyramids, three smaller pyramids, and three large pyramids.
The Great Pyramid
As the only remaining example of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Khufu is regarded as a living marvel. It was created more than 4500 years ago, making it the oldest enigma on the whole globe. It took 20 years and 2,300,000 2.5-ton chunks of limestone to build it in 2580 BC, with a staff of roughly 100,000 free skilled laborers.
The Great Sphinx
The Sphinx is a huge, immortal protector that resembles a legendary animal with a lion’s body and a man’s head, which is said to symbolize King Khafre as a representation of strength and knowledge.
The Valley Temple
The Valley Temple, which served as the hub of the mummification process, was built during the Old Kingdom of Egypt (2686–2134 BC) within the complex. Over time, it evolved into one of the best-preserved ancient Egyptian archaeological sites and a wealth of knowledge about mummification practices in ancient Egypt. The valley is entirely composed of limestone and granite, and it has special King Khafra diorite sculptures.
