The pyramids are among the most well known symbols of the ancient Egyptian civilization which sprung up along the Nile over 5000 years ago. Chief, among these is the great pyramid of Giza, the tomb of Khufu, the Pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This grand structure once stood at 280 royal cubits high equivalent to 481.4 ft, which made it the tallest man made structure for over 3800 years. Once covered in a smooth white limestone casing. This has been gradually removed over millennia, reducing the height of the pyramid and exposing the underlying core structure that we see today inside the pyramid are three known chambers, the king's chamber, the queen's chamber and a subterranean chamber that remained unfinished.
