The ancient Egyptians built large and elaborate pyramids as tombs for their kings, the pharaohs. They were built of huge stone blocks and took a couple of decades to build. The three pyramids of Giza are the most famous. They were built in the 26th century B.C. The largest pyramid of Giza is called the Great Pyramid of Khufu. It is also the largest and grandest pyramid ever built. It is 479 feet tall (146 meters). The pharaoh Sneferu built this pyramid for his son, Khufu, in 2540 B.C. It was built from millions of blocks of limestone and granite.
The largest and most famous of all the pyramids, the Great Pyramid at Giza, was built by Snefru's son, Khufu, known also as Cheops, the later Greek form of his name. The pyramid's base covered over 13 acres and its sides rose at an angle of 51 degrees 52 minutes and were over 755 feet long. It originally stood over 481 feet high; today it is 450 feet high. Scientists estimate that its stone blocks average over two tons apiece, with the largest weighing as much as fifteen tons each.
