The Great pyramid of Giza is unsurprisingly situated in the land of Pyramids in Egypt. The great pyramid is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids on the border of El Giza, Egypt. This incredible feat of engineering was built in 2560 BC and is reported to have taken between 14 to 20 years to build.
It is thought that upon completing the construction it measured at 146.5 metres tall, but through erosion its present height stands at 138.8 metres. Each base side was 230.4 metres in length and the pyramid is estimated to weight an astounding 5.9 million tonnes.
