Building of the Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza still towers over Cairo, Egypt. Its enormous size dwarfs all of the other pyramids around it. What makes this pyramid so great? It was built nearly 5,000 years ago, before construction machinery was ever invented. For nearly 20 years, thousands of workers toiled day after day hand-carving and dragging each stone into place--all for their king, Pharaoh Khufu. To this day, few other buildings inspire such awe as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
