Pyramid

There is an amazing Pyramid in the middle east called the Great Pyramid of Giza. it is the oldest and largest pyramid of in the Giza Necropolis. It is also the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The complex consist of three large Pyriamds built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. The structures were thought to be built between 2589 bc and 2504 bc. It was the tallest structure in the world for about 3,800 years ago, at 481 feet tall (146 meters). Historians believe that they were built to house the king's body after his death. Did you know that is also called the the Khufu's Pyramid? Can you guess why it is called that?
