The last of the three major pyramids at Giza is the pyramid for Pharaoh Menkaure. After this, the building of pyramids at the Giza plateau stopped – in fact, it’s believed this pyramid was completed after the Pharaoh’s death. From this vantage point, the pyramid seems lost and alone against the backdrop of the land and sky. It’s amazing to bear witness to the works of men who lived and died, like we all will, 4,000 years ago. /

a morning view of the Giza pyramids
-
In the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, the pyramids at Giza were already ancient. They included them on the list of wonders or must see attractions of the world. The modern list was recorded in the middle ages, but we know the pyramids were on that list, and it appears every other sight listed has been lost since. One looks on these ancient wonders and understand why they have so long been regarded as a treasure. This is the second pyramid on the Giza plateau, the ancient tomb of Pharaoh Khafre.

The pyramids and the enigmatic Sphinx have been visited for thousands of years, literally. The pyramid on the right (relative to the viewer) is the pyramid of Pharaoh Khafre. The best guess at this time is that the face of the Sphinx was his. It’s believed the clearing of land for his pyramid exposed the large rock the Sphinx was carved from. This was done to decorate what would have otherwise been an otherwise ordinary rock near his pyramid. To the left, appearing quite small here, is the last pyramid constructed at Giza, the tomb of Menkaure. More from Egypt

The Great Sphinx was believed to stand as a guardian of the Giza , Egypt, where it faces the rising sun. It was the focus of solar worship in the Old Kingdom, centered in the adjoining temples built around the time posited for its construction.Great Sphinx is a half-human, half-lion. This is the largest single rock statue in the world, it stands 73.5 meters (241 ft) long, 6 m (20 ft) wide, and 20 m (65 ft) high. Commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians in the 3rd millennium BC, it is the earliest known monumental sculpture. This gigantic Sphinx was buried up to shoulder under the sand and was restrored by a Pharaoh . It also got missing nose, the legend is that a fakir was so jealous of the Sphinx that he even damaged the nose of the Sphinx which can be seen here . The Egyptian Civilization is 3000 year old. The pharaohs ruled for over 1000 years and still their old mummies are preserved in Pyramids, The physical bodies do die but sprit is immortal. This fine art painting show the head of the great Sphinx against Khafre’s pyramidin Egypt. / Please buy this fine Love Art work for your special memento of love; as a seed in your Love life for Love to grow further now and onwards.

The first view of the great pyramid at Giza, the tomb of the ancient pharaoh, Khufu. The pyramids were built as a staircase for which the god king would reach the afterlife. They also took with them their treasures. The pyramids may have failed in their role to protect the king and his treasure in the afterlife, but they have succeeded in continuing to grant life to their names at least of these ancient people long since their time, 4,000 years ago.

Photograph of the ancient pyramids of Giza, Egypt

The Giza Plateau sits majestically on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, a silent guardian to this area of nearly 18,000,000 people. In this shot that I took while visiting in October of 2007, the Great Pyramid of Khufu sits on the far left, the pyramid of Khafre sits in the middle (it’s original limestone casing still visible near the top), and the smaller pyramid of Menkaure lies on the right. The neverending sprawl of Cairo can be seen in the background. Though “The Great Pyramid” of Khufu is the largest of the three, Khafre’s pyramid actually seems larger when you are there, due to it’s construction on a higher elevation and the steeper angle of the pyramid itself. All three of the pyramids are astronomically aligned to be north-south, east-west… down to the smallest fraction of a degree.
