The '''Great Pyramid of Giza''' (2650 BC) is the largest of the Great Pyramids, and is the final resting place of the [[Egyptian]] [[pharoah]] [[Khufu]]. It is one of the [[Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]] and is the only member of that list that is still largely in tact.
It originally stood 481 feet high and was the tallest structure on [[Earth]] until the nineteenth century AD. Each side measures 751 feet across. Each corner of the [[pyramid]] is precisely lined up with cardinal directions of the [[compass]].<ref>http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/pyramid.html</ref>
