The Pyramids of Giza

The Pyramids of Giza
The Pyramids of Giza represent one of the greatest architectural feats by man. The last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World， the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the world's oldest tourist attractions and the reason most people visit Egypt today. There are in fact three main pyramids in Giza； the Great Pyramid of Khufu （or Cheops）， The Pyramid of Kafhre and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaura. Each Pyramid is a tomb to a different King of Egypt. In front of the pyramids lies the Sphinx， or Abu al-Hol in Arabic， "Father of Terror". Carved out of a single block of stone， this enormous cat-like sculpture has mesmerized millions of visitors.
