2025 Egypt – Day 2 – The Pyramids of Giza

The Pyramids of Giza are among the most iconic and enduring architectural achievements in human history. Located on the western edge of the Nile Valley near modern-day Cairo, these colossal monuments stand on the Giza Plateau, a limestone promontory overlooking the fertile floodplain of the Nile. Built during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt’s Old Kingdom, around 2600 to 2500 BCE, the pyramids served as royal tombs and are a testament to the engineering prowess, religious beliefs, and centralized power of ancient Egyptian civilization.
