3/26.- Pyramids tour, Gizah, Kheops pyramid

The Kheops pyramid is the oldest and the biggest one in Gizah. The accepted theory is that pyramids were built to be the tomb of the pharaohs, but the actual purpose of these pyramids is still not clear.

This one is almost 150 meters high. More than two and a half million stone blocks were necessary to complete it. Inside this huge monument pharaoh Kheops rested in peace.
