In ancient Egyptian culture, kings were viewed as divine beings. When it came time to design their eternal resting place, pyramids were built with angled sides to emulate the rays of the sun. They believed this helped the king's soul ascend to the heavens. |

Historians estimate that it took approximately 100,000 workers several decades to complete the Pyramids. |

The Sphinx is a mythical figure that serves as a spiritual guardian, hence why a large Sphinx monument was built at the site of the Great Pyramids, as per the request of Pharaoh Khafre. |

The tallest pyramid in the world is The Great Pyramid of Khufu. When it was built over 4,500 years ago, the pyramid of Khufu stood at 481 feet tall. But over the years, erosion has caused the pyramid to shrink down a bit. It now stands at 451 feet tall. |
