A Teacher's Holiday Routine: Egypt and the Pyramids

Humans fear time, but time fears the pyramids. 'As long as the Nile flows and the sun shines, my passion for her will never fade.' Finally, I witnessed the pyramids standing for 4,500 years. The Great Pyramid of Giza, built around 2580 BC, originally stood at 146.5 meters tall. Due to weathering over the years, the top has eroded by 10 meters, now standing at 136.5 meters. Each side of the base was originally over 230 meters long, now measuring 220 meters, with a triangular slope of 52 degrees and a base area of 52,900 square meters. The structure is made up of 2.3 million stones, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons, with the heaviest weighing up to 160 tons. How were these 160-ton stones transported over 4,000 years ago? It's truly unimaginable, showcasing the wisdom of ancient Egyptians! #EgyptPyramids #Pyramids #Egypt #EgyptTravel #GreatPyramidofGiza
