(Egypt, Giza) The Three Great Pyramids

One of the most famous ancient ruins in the world is the Pyramids of Giza. It refers to the three pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure located in Giza on the outskirts of the capital Cairo. All of them are huge and are collectively known as the "Three Great Pyramids". The largest is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is 147 meters tall. It was built around 2250 BC. Such a huge structure was built during what is called the Jomon period in Japan, but the construction method is still unclear. About 300 people a day are allowed to tour the inside of the Pyramid of Khufu. Entering through a small hole, you come out into a passage called the "Grand Corridor", and at the very back is the burial chamber. It is a small room with only a stone sarcophagus placed there, and there are no gorgeous murals, and it is hot and stuffy. There are many other hidden passages and holes in the pyramid, and it is said that there are many rooms that have not been discovered. The charm of the pyramids is that even if you reach the very back, you cannot see the whole picture. #egypt #pyramid
