The Great Pyramid of Giza

Picture: Khufu
If you are looking to read about a huge pyramid that this is the post to read!! This pyramid was built by Khufu and is about 482 feet tall. WOW!! it was also built with about 2,300,000 limestone blocks. If it was me building that it would take about 5 million years to complete the project. But that's just me. You see, this pyramid was different from others. Unlike later pyramids, Khufu's had several chambers and galleries inside. The plans might've been changed during construction. In the end, when Khufu died, he was buried in the top of the chamber.
