The Great Pyramid: The huge pyramid of Giza was erected to reach the heavens in King Khufu’s (2609 BC – 2584 BC) eternal marvel. Hemiunu, the royal principal vizier of Kufu, designed it with 2.3 million limestone pieces weighing a total of 6 million tonnes, giving it an overall height of 147 meters. The Queen’s chamber, the King’s chamber, the enormous gap, the grand hall, and several more rooms may be found in the great pyramid’s main chamber.
The Great Sphinx: The soul of Pharaoh Khafre is kept inside the enormous Sphinx, also known as Horus of the Horizon, an eternal emblem of strength and knowledge (2558 BC – 2532 BC). It kept vigil over the timeless marvels of ancient Egypt. The epic dream Steele of Thutmose IV, which was added about 1401 BC, is shown between the legs of the sphinx.
The Valley Temple: To undertake religious rituals, such as the Mummification rite, to pass through the gate of heaven, the magnificent Valley Temple was built. In this enormous temple, funeral rites for every member of the 4th dynasty were planned.
