The Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus are one of the seven wonders of the world. A single pyramid is built with 2,300,000 blocks each weighing an average of two and one-half tons. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open to the public. Not far from the pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chephren (2620 B.C.). Hewn from yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long. This unforgetable statue combines the head of the pharoes with a lion's body.
