The Egyptian Pyramids are ancient structures located primarily in Giza, Egypt. Built as tombs for pharaohs, these monumental buildings were constructed during the Old Kingdom period, around 2600 to 2500 BCE. The most famous pyramids include the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the Pyramid of Khafre. These pyramids were made using large limestone and granite blocks, showcasing advanced engineering techniques of the time. They served not only as burial sites but also as symbols of the pharaohs' power and a means to ensure their journey to the afterlife.
