Pyramid-building reached its zenith with the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Built for Khufu (or Cheops, in Greek), who ruled from 2589 to 2566 B.C., the pyramid was later named by classical historians as one of the ancient worldâs Seven Wonders. Two other pyramids were built at Giza for Khufuâs successors Khafra (2558-2532 B.C) and Menkaura (2532-2503 B.C.).
