The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is the largest of the original Seven Wonders of the World that is basically still in tact. It is the most substantial structure of the ancient world, and one of the most mysterious.
The Great Pyramid was originally 481 feet tall, and 755 feet along its sides. It covers an area over 13 acres, and is large enough to contain the European cathedrals of Florence, Milan, St. Peters, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's. Likewise, the building material used in constructing the Pyramid [6.3 million tons] is more material than is found in all the churches built in England since the time of Christ (according to: Dr. Lee Warren, Pyramids of Egypt).
The Greek historian, Herodotus [484-425 BC], estimated that it took over 100,000 men, and twenty years to build it. And when Napoleon saw it [1798] he stood spellbound at its structure.
