Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt
The Great Pyramid of Giza near Cairo is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one of these ancient world wonders which still exists. The pyramids are made of stone and bricks and stand near Cairo which is the capital of Egypt.
The Egyptian pyramids were built during a time when there was only manual labor and no mechanical lifting equipment available. The pyramids were built to house the bodies of the pharaoh who ruled in ancient Egypt. Next to the Giza pyramids, there is the Sphinx, the famous monument of a lion's body with a pharaoh’s head.
