The Great Pyramid of Egypt was originally 480 feet high. It remained the tallest building
in the world for over 4,000 years. It was built around 2560 B.C. It was created as a burial
place for the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. Researchers believe it took about 20 years to build
and as many as 360,000 men worked on it. The Great Pyramid is the largest of three
pyramids in Giza, which is now part of Cairo. Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient
World, it is the only one still standing. Many tourists come to visit the pyramid each year.
