The Pyramids of Giza, located on the Giza Plain, are a general term for a group of pyramids, rather than a separate pyramid. They were built between 2600 and 2500 BC. They are synonymous with ancient Egyptian civilization and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The three larger and better-preserved pyramids of the Giza Pyramids are the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Kafra and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The three pyramids are arranged according to the constellation of Orion. The first thing you see after entering the scenic spot is the Pyramid of Khufu, which is the best-preserved pyramid so far. The entrance to the tomb of the Pyramid of Khufu is 18 meters above the ground. Photography is not allowed inside the interior, and the interior corridors are illuminated. Inside, you can visit the Pharaoh's Chamber of Secrets, which is a small granite room. The structure of the Pyramid of Kafra is the same as that of the Pyramid of Khufu. You can also visit the Pharaoh's tomb inside. The tomb is still empty, except for a square empty sarcophagus, which is placed against the wall. If you are curious, you can stand on the stepping stone and look inside the sarcophagus, which is also empty. After visiting the Pyramid of Khafre, there is the smaller one of the three pyramids, the Pyramid of Menkala, where you can admire its appearance and take pictures. You can also visit. The entrance to the Pyramid of Menkaure is much smaller than that of Khufu and Kafka, and the ladder-shaped passage is entered through a few stone steps.
