Pyramids and Sphinx:
The Pyramids of Cheops, Chefren, and Mycerinos are reckoned as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The great Pyramid of Cheops is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one-half tons. In the face of such immensity, one can't help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers and artists have sought to convey over the centuries.
Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chefren. Hewn from natural yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body.
