 The pyramids in Egypt are thought one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

There are 80 pyramids in Egypt. The three great pyramids at Giza were built 4, 000 years ago. And Khufu’s Pyramid is the biggest one, it was built with more than 2. 3 million rocks. It was built on a square base. The base is about 230 metres long. The original height of the Pyramid was 146. 5 metres when it was first built, but over the years, it has lost about 9 metres, so today it is only 137 metres high.
