Giza Pyramids

The Giza necropolis are the main attraction of Cairo. In the photo we see the biggest pyramid in the world, built along 20 years around the year 2560 B.C. It was supposed to be the Cheops Pharaoh thumb, but he died before the end of the construction, being buried in his home town. The preparation before starting to build it took some 10 years. Egyptians build big canals and boats to bring the 2 tons stones from 18 km away, from the east side of the Nile river, to the west side, where the necropolis are.
