Giza Pyramids : The most famous Pyramids in the modern world and one of the ancient worlds seven wonders.

The most famous Pyramids inside Egypt itself among its 97 Pyramids with different shapes and which are scattered in Egypt's Desert.

The Pyramids and the sphinx are the remaining witnesses for Egypt's great events, high civilization and History.   A question of all times, how the Ancient Egyptians did build the pyramids? Regarding that issue, there were many theories, Ramp Theory is the one we believe and the one we took as Egyptologists.

The first Brick Pyramids built in Egypt is the Great Step Pyramid of the King Djoser in Sakkara. The King Djesr is the founder of the third Dynasty, he gave his orders to his efficient Architect " Emhotep " to build the first Pyramidal Tomb in Egypt History. Actually the shape of Tombs was only a rectangular tomb where the royal body was buried, and this form was known as Mastaba, but due to the repeated robberies of the Royal Tombs and evacuating them from the treasures by tombs thieves, the King had to find other way and shape for tombs to keep the Tomb out of Thieves reach as long as possible, and that was the reason of Pyramidal Tombs.

In the fourth Dynasty, the King Khofo " Khonom kho ef wi " the son of the Dynasty founder – King Senefru – had developed the shape of the step Pyramid into the full pyramid shape which became covered by limestone with flat surface off four sides of the pyramid, on the top, the Pyramid was covered by Golden sheets to form a small pyramidal Top of the top of the pyramid.

The reason for the Golden Sheets were to let the God – Re - light shine more on the Tomb of the king with its very shiny rays reflecting on a visitor eye and the Pen Pen Bird was keeping an eye of that Part and was a Symbol of it. The Pyramids are built of about 3 million stone from Aswan Granite Stones, which were brought by Boats to Geza!! Duration of the building was around 30 years; some theories say that the king built the Pyramid as Egypt had some years of starvation in order to let everyone work in this project and to feed them all.

Pyramid of Kha-f-Re:

Is the second Pyramid and owned by the King Khafra, the son of the Pharaoh Khofo.    He built his pyramid next to his fathers Pyramid and in a smaller shape, for the vision, it will seem that second pyramid is bigger, but it is only a trick which the pharaoh used, as he thought, if my pyramid is bigger than my fathers pyramid, so it means disrespect. so I better build it near it, and on a higher plateau.

Pyramid of Men Kau Re:

Is the third and smallest in Geza Plateau, as the owner is the son of Khafra   So same applies, the son should not build his pyramid to be bigger than fathers Pyramid.   In the back of the three Pyramids, there are other three small pyramids, which are belonging to the Royal wives of the previous Kings who build the Great three pyramids.
