Proud
monument of a civilization that has long since disappeared, Ancient Egyptians
saw the pyramid as the primal hill, the creator’s birthplace and throne. It’s
golden capstone was their point of contact with the Gods. According to current
archaeological belief, the pyramid was built as a funerary tomb for Pharaoh
Khufu (Cheops in Greek) but the only funerary element that remains is a stone
sarcophagus, and no sign of a mummy or other funerary elements has been
detected.
Covering
13 acres, it contains 2.3 million blocks of limestone ranging in weight from
2.5 to 15 tons stacked to a height of 481 feet for the original pyramid which
now stands at 450 feet high. Before the outer limestone blocks were stripped,
each side measured 755 feet, now 746 feet. The great pyramid was built with an
extraordinary array of mathematical and astronomical measurements that
required advance scientific knowledge. The building effort must have been
monumental for that epoch and probably took place over an extended period of
time.
