Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬 The only remaining of the Seven Wonders of the World

📍The Great Pyramid of Khufu located on the Giza Plateau in the suburbs of Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest and largest of the three famous pyramids and was built in 2560 BC. 🔹The Pyramid of Khufu is 136.5 meters high. The tower is built with about 2.3 million stones. The stones of varying sizes weigh from 1.5 tons to 160 tons, and the total weight of the tower is about 6.84 million tons. But the most surprising thing is that it is an almost solid monolith. 🔸It is said that 100,000 people were recruited to build the pyramids, and it took 20 years to complete this human miracle; and the built pyramids were used as tombs. ♦️The Pyramids are the only one left of the Seven Wonders of the World. ♦️ ⚠️The temperature outside the pyramid is very high and hot, but when you enter the pyramid, you can feel the cool breeze, but some places are not ventilated so you are sweating a lot💦💦 ⚠️Climbing to the top of the tower to see the mausoleum can be a bit strenuous for those who have not done exercise, and your thighs will be very sore because the inclination is more than 60 degrees. #Egypt #Cairo #Historic Sites #Seven Wonders of the World #pyramid
