Uncover the mysteries of the Egyptian Pyramids! Built for pharaohs like Khufu, these ancient marvels, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, showcase incredible engineering precision with near-perfect alignment to cardinal directions. Discover how massive granite stones, heavier than elephants, were transported hundreds of miles. Learn that the pyramids were once gleaming white structures topped with gold, serving as launchpads for pharaohs' souls into the afterlife. Explore the evolution from step pyramids like Djoser's to the iconic smooth-sided designs, and understand the stable, cool temperature maintained inside despite the desert heat. Contrary to popular belief, skilled Egyptian laborers, not slaves, primarily built these wonders. Plan your visit with tips on comfortable shoes, hydration, and the surprising proximity of these ancient sites to modern Giza. Want to learn more?
