The Great Egyptian Pyramids of Giza are the most famous site on the African continent. The huge stone structures of Ancient Egypt are an architectural monument of antiquity. The Great Pyramids are located on the Giza Plateau, in the Libyan Desert, 8 km from the old city of Giza and 25 km from the capital of Egypt - the city of Cairo, where the fertile Nile Valley borders on the hot sands of the Libyan Desert.

Stone buildings are the tombs of the powerful pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The monumental pyramids are not so much a monument to the pharaohs as a glorification of human genius and creative labor. They were built 4.5 thousand years ago, and they are still standing. Everything in the world is afraid of time, and time is afraid of the pyramids.

The opinion of scientists about the purpose of the pyramids erected on the edge of the Libyan desert is ambiguous. Lots of questions about building technology. 200 years of archaeological research of the Great Pyramids only added questions to Egyptologists who discovered 118 pyramids in Egypt.
