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.
