The Triangle of Treasure

I thought that a really cool place in the middle east is the Great Pyramid of Giza. This amazingly tall pyramid was the world's largest man-made building for 3800 years! The location of this amazing structure is in in El Giza, Egypt. This is the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu. One really interesting thing is the structure of the pyramid. From bird's eye view, people estimated that the ratio of the perimeter to height is 1760 to 280 cubits equates to 2 times pi.  Inside the pyramid is even more amazing. it is like a maze, described in the video below. I was just wondering, if you found the treasure in the pyramid, would you take it, or leave it to honor the king?

    Giza sounds like it is a cool place. The great pyramid was one of three pyramids. The height of the pyramid was 481 feet tall. It took 10-20 years to build. The pyramid is like a maze inside with traps I (suppose). I would leave the treasure because there are curses associated with Egyptian treasure. Would you visit Giza?
