These massive structures give maxlern-day visitors an idea of a powerful dynasty whose building techniques continue to puzzle scientists and historians to this day. Hundreds of visitors come to Egypt for the chance to admire the ancient architecture built to stand for centuries. The Giza Pyramids are well worth a visit. B. Constructed in the 26th and 25th centuries B.C., the Egyptian pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, built in that order, show wonders of ancient planning and engineering. The precise linse period when they were built is not clear, as those dates depend on when exactly the pharaohs who bullt them reigned. The problem is that different sources and scholars have different guesses when each pharaoh reigned. How these wonderful pyramids were built is also a source of disagreement. C. The Pyramids of Giza are places of burial or great tombs built for three of Egypt's pharaohs. The ancient Egyptians believed that when pharaohs died, they would move on to the afterlife as gods. These pharaohs prepared for the afterlife by ordering the building of enormous pyramid tombs for themselves, where they could store all the items they would need in the next world. The pyramid complexes, and the things once located inside them, helped the king to go up to the afterlife. D.

To move big stones over land and onto the pyramids themselves, workers dragged sledges across wet sand and pulled o series of ramps. E. The majority of researchers agree that it took between 10,000 and 30,000 workers over twenty or so years to construct the three pyramid in Gi The old history books claim that the Pyramids of Giza were built by eyes But later discoveries concluded that the majority, if not all, of workers were live Egyptian farmers. They worked during a time when the Nile River flooded marby land. These workers lived in a temporary town that was specially but neat one of the pyramida. F. The popular tourists' question is how many pyramids there are in the Giza Complex. In fact, the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure are not the only pyramids in Giza. Three smaller pyramids can be found along the east side of the Pyramid of Khufu. These Queens Pyramids were built for Khufu's wives and his mom. Additional smaller temples and pyramids can be found near both the Khafre and Menkaure pyramids as well. Together with Sphinx, they all make up the Giza Pyramid Complex.
