The Great Pyramid

The pyramids are located in Eygpt.  They were built 2,500 years ago.  The Great Pyramid was mostly used for King Khufu's tomb.  The Great Pyramid was the tallest building for 4,000 years. We don't know how long it took to build.  It is the only one of the 7 ancient wonders that is still there.  It has 7 million tons of limestone.
