🇪🇬 The Great Pyramid of Giza | Where Ancient Majesty Meets Modern Wo

🏜️ *Built in 2580 BC - the last standing wonder of the ancient world!* Fast Facts 👑 Pharaoh Khufu's tomb: • Height: 146m (original) • Now: 138m (like a 40-story building!) • Made of 2.3 million limestone blocks (avg. 2.5 tons each) ✨ Fun Fact: The capstone was once covered in electrum (gold-silver alloy) shining like a second sun! Exterior Visit 🔍 What to Spot: • Perfect isosceles triangle sides aligned to cardinal directions • Missing top due to 4,600 years of wind/sand erosion • Symbolic climb allowed on first two tiers (watch your step!) Interior Adventure ⚠️ Heads Up: • Narrow 43m ascending passage (bend double in parts!) • No photos inside - but the granite King’s Chamber will burn into your memory • Empty sarcophagus: Polished red granite, hieroglyph-free (where’s Khufu? 🤫) Mystical Vibes 🌀 Modern pilgrims: Some meditate to "absorb pyramid energy" in the chamber 🌌 Celestial link: Entrance shaft points to Polaris (ancient GPS!) Visitor Tips 🎟️ Ticket: ~$15 (extra for interior) • ⏰ 8AM-4PM 💧 Bring water - interior hits 40°C+ with 90% humidity 📸 Best photo spot: Northwest corner at golden hour #AncientWonders #PyramidMysteries
