Full tour inside the Great Pyramid of Giza | Pyramid of Cheops aka Khufu | Trip to Kairo, Egypt 2021
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Egyptologists conclude that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and estimate that it was built in the 26th century BC during a period of around 27 years.

Initially standing at 146.5 meters (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Over time, most of the smooth white limestone casing was removed, which lowered the pyramid's height to the present 138.5 meters (454.4 ft). What is seen today is the underlying core structure. The base was measured to be about 230.3 meters (755.6 ft) square, giving a volume of roughly 2.6 million cubic meters (92 million cubic feet), which includes an internal hillock. The dimensions of the pyramid were 280 royal cubits (146.7 m; 481.4 ft) high, a base length of 440 cubits (230.6 m; 756.4 ft), with a seked of 5.5 palms (a slope of 51°50'40).
The Great Pyramid was built by quarrying an estimated 2.3 million large blocks weighing 6 million tonnes in total. The majority of stones are not uniform in size or shape and are only roughly dressed. The outside layers were bound together by mortar. Primarily local limestone from the Giza Plateau was used. Other blocks were imported by boat down the Nile: White limestone from Tura for the casing, and granite blocks from Aswan, weighing up to 80 tonnes, for the King's Chamber structure.
There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest was cut into the bedrock, upon which the pyramid was built, but remained unfinished. The so-called Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber, that contains a granite sarcophagus, are higher up, within the pyramid structure. Khufu's vizier, Hemiunu (also called Hemon), is believed by some to be the architect of the Great Pyramid. Many varying scientific and alternative hypotheses attempt to explain the exact construction techniques.
The funerary complex around the pyramid consisted of two mortuary temples connected by a causeway (one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile), tombs for the immediate family and court of Khufu, including three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller satellite pyramid and five buried solar barges.

Climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza #egypt #travelvlog #ancientegypt #cairo #pyramids
In this travel vlog, we travel to Egypt to explore the seven wonders of the ancient world, The Great Pyramid of Giza, Al Giza Desert.
The Great Pyramid is located in Giza, Egypt and it was built over 4,500 years ago by the ancient Egyptians. It's the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and it's also the only one that still exists today.
The Great Pyramid is made up of over two million blocks of stone and it stands 147 feet tall. That's about the same height as a modern day skyscraper! It's also the largest pyramid in the world and it's the most accurately aligned structure in the world.
But the Great Pyramid wasn't just built to be tall and impressive. It was also built to be a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu. The Pharaohs were the rulers of ancient Egypt and they believed in the afterlife. They thought that if they were buried in a special place like the Great Pyramid, they would be able to take all of their belongings with them into the next life.
The Great Pyramid is made up of three main chambers: the King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber, and the Grand Gallery. The King's Chamber is where the Pharaoh's body was placed. It's also where you can find the Pharaoh's sarcophagus, which is a special coffin that was made to hold the Pharaoh's body.
The Queen's Chamber was probably used for storage, but no one is really sure. Some people think it might have been used for the Pharaoh's wife or mother, but no one knows for sure.
The Grand Gallery is a long, narrow room with a high ceiling. It leads to the King's Chamber and it's believed to have been used for ceremonies and rituals.

But how did the ancient Egyptians build such a massive and impressive structure? That's a mystery that scientists and historians are still trying to solve. Some people believe that the ancient Egyptians used a system of pulleys and levers to lift the heavy blocks of stone into place. Others think that they used ramps made of mud and brick to roll the blocks up to the top of the pyramid.
No one knows for sure how the Great Pyramid was built, but what we do know is that it's an incredible feat of engineering and a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the ancient Egyptians.
So if you ever get the chance to visit Egypt, be sure to check out the Great Pyramid of Giza. It's a truly amazing and mysterious structure that's sure to spark your curiosity and imagination. #greatpyramidofgiza

HOW?
???? Join us on one of our upcoming expeditions to Egypt or Peru, find all of the info here:
This is one of the rose-granite unfinished obelisks lying in the Aswan Quarry. The scoop marks are almost 1 meter wide on both sides & red vertical lines can be seen on the quarry walls leading down into the scoops. Guide of Egypt believes this may be a sign of excessive heat, possibly due an ultra-sonic cutting tool. Did the ancient architects have the ability to soften granite like marshmallow? Did they use a tool that could scoop out granite like ice cream? According to the archaeological record, the dynastic Egyptians (3000 BC) possessed only copper/ iron chisels & hammers which rank between 3-4 on the “Mohs scale of hardness.” How could they have drone this to rose granite that is much harder, ranking between 7-8 on the same scale? Did the dynastic Egyptians posses lost tech that we are unaware of, or did an earlier megalithic civilization do this?

How Pyramids Were Built in Ancient Egypt: Engineering
The pyramids were not built by aliens. In ancient Egypt, they used engineering and advanced architecture.
They started with the stepped pyramid. It was just an overblown version of the piles of stones they usually put on top of tombs to mark them. The pharaoh that had it built (Senefru) did not like how it looked. He said he wanted a new pyramid built with smooth sides.
So they tried that, and ended up having to change the top (bend the pyramid in) because the angles were too steep. The pharaoh didn't like this one either.
So finally, the red pyramid was built, and it was the first one to have the correct angles and dimensions. It would serve as the prototype for the eventual construction of the great pyramids of Giza.
They are definitely worth a visit, but just be aware that it's a complete circus with beggars, hawkers, and people trying to swindle you any way that they can.

How to Visit SAQQARA and SERAPEUM in EGYPT !
We' re on a tour with George and our guide to visit the splendid archeological site of Saqqara in Egypt!
We visit the Pyramid of Djoser, The Serapeum Known as the Serapeum of Saqqara, the massive black boxes were discovered buried in a hillside cave system about 12 miles south of the Great Pyramid of Giza. They weight 100 tons each and are estimated to have weighted 200-300 tons before carving.
Saqqara, also spelled Sakkara or Saccara in English, is a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis. Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the world-famous Step pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, as well as a number of mastabas. Located some 30 km south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara covers an area of around 7 by 1.5 km.
At Saqqara, the oldest complete stone building complex known in history was built: Djoser's step pyramid, built during the Third Dynasty. Another 16 Egyptian kings built pyramids at Saqqara, which are now in various states of preservation or dilapidation. High officials added private funeral monuments to this necropolis during the entire pharaonic period. It remained an important complex for non-royal burials and cult ceremonies for more than 3,000 years, well into Ptolemaic and Roman times.
North of the area known as Saqqara lies Abusir, and south lies Dahshur. The area running from Giza to Dahshur has been used as a necropolis by the inhabitants of Memphis at different times, and it was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

10 Most Impressive Monuments of Ancient Egypt - Travel Video
Check out all the places seen in this video:
One of the world’s greatest civilizations, the Ancient Egyptians ruled over the lower reaches of the Nile for millennia. After a unified kingdom arose around 3100 BC, a series of dynasties and pharaohs built ever-bigger pyramids and temples before falling to the Roman Empire in 30 BC. Many of the massive monuments were dedicated to various deities or the pharaohs themselves and were adorned with rich decorations. Such was the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the Ancient Egyptians, that many of these amazing ancient monuments are still standing today.

Cairo, Egypt - I can’t tell you how excited I am to be in Egypt. After 27+ hours of flying from San Diego to Egypt, we made it to our hotel in Giza, Egypt; with an amazing view of the Pyramids.
► Giza Pyramids Hotel: Guardian Guest House
We’re so anxious to get started, that the Great Pyramids of Giza gates aren’t even open yet. The sign at the Pyramids gate says 7am.. but that’s just a reference point. At about 7:45 the doors open, we buy a ticket, and get passed the Egyptian guard dogs.
Before the Pyramid tour buses show up for the day, we literally have the entire great Pyramids of Giza all to ourselves, if only for a fleeting moment.
► Egyptian Pyramids Guide: Amun Tours (
9:00am - All the Pyramid Tours file into the massive Giza complex, and we meet up with our guide. I was very happy to have a guide for the pyramids because there is SOOO much information here!
I paid for an extra ticket to go inside Khufu's pyramid; the largest pyramid of Giza. Truthfully, there really isn’t much to see inside. It’s a long tunnel makeshift stairway leading up to one small room.
But it’s the idea... The understanding of how significant the Pyramid once was, and the realization of the Egyptian footsteps you’re walking in. For nearly 4,000 years, Kufu’s tomb was the tallest building in the world. Originally 480 feet tall, but now sits around 450 feet because of erosion.
My biggest takeaway from this morning’s visit to the Pyramids of Egypt are how mysterious this place still is. The majority of the complex is still uncovered. You gotta think there’s still so much under all of these surrounding rock and sand mounds. Scientists are still excavating, digging, and trying to put the pieces together.
The Great Pyramids of Giza are absolutely fascinating, and if you’re watching this Egypt Travel Vlog for inspiration - here’s me telling you to make the trip happen. You won’t regret it.
We finish my first day in Egypt with a trip to one of the best restaurants in Cairo (Giza side actually); El Prince Restaurant. Egyptian people love the traditional Egyptian food here, and I had no clue what I was getting into!
Our local Egyptian friend Ziad sets us up with all the Egyptian food staples such as, Molokhia (green soup), Kebda (liver), Sogo (mini sausages), and Hawawshi (seasoned beef patties in a pita).
and Ziad’s personal favorite, thinly sliced steak, quickly seared and tossed in garlic tomatoes and onions.
I don’t want to get ahead of myself, drunk off all the excitement of my first Egyptian food, but if this is any indication of how we’ll be eating here in Egypt over the next two weeks, I’ll be a very happy man. Stay tuned for more!!

With tour guide at first pyramid in Egypt at Saqqara. Pyramid of Djoser
The pyramid of Djoser (or Djeser and Zoser), sometimes called the Step Pyramid of Djoser, is an archaeological site in the Saqqara necropolis, Egypt, northwest of the ruins of Memphis. The 6-tier, 4-sided structure is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt. It was built in the 27th century BC during the Third Dynasty for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. The pyramid is the central feature of a vast mortuary complex in an enormous courtyard surrounded by ceremonial structures and decoration. Its architect was Imhotep, chancellor of the pharaoh and high priest of the god Ra.
The pyramid went through several revisions and redevelopments of the original plan. The pyramid originally stood 62.5 m (205 ft) tall, with a base of 109 m × 121 m (358 ft × 397 ft) and was clad in polished white limestone. The step pyramid (or proto-pyramid) was considered to be the earliest large-scale cut stone construction made by man as of 1997,[6] although the nearby enclosure wall Gisr el-Mudir is suggested by some Egyptologists to predate the complex, and the South American pyramids at Caral are contemporary.
Step Pyramid Egypt
Information and views of the Step Pyramid. No writing on walls here because this is one of the oldest Pyramids when they first used stone to build them. They were just concerned with the stone and building them. It was not until later that writing was used on the walls of tombs.
ZOSER, OR SAKKARA, PROTOTYPE STEP PYRAMID
It is often called the wedding cake because of six layers. Why six? Common explanation is architect built one layer to see if it would hold up. When it did, he built a second layer and so on. At six layers, perhaps he didn't want to press his luck and called it quits!
Sakkara was the necropolis (burial ground) for Ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis (definitely not Tennessee). The main sight is the famous step pyramid of Zoser built in 2630BC and the OLDEST hewn, stone building complex known.! Please don't forget to Share, Like and Subscribe! Thanks.
