and considered amongst the seven Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramids are over 4500 years old,
and are massive in size, with some of the blocks weighing in excess of two and a half tons each. A short

of then King of Egypt Chephran (Khafre). The ancient monument — 187 feet long and 65 feet high — is a
