Why are Giza pyramid so important..?

The great pyramid at Giza are important for two reasons: First of all, they are the largest and sturdiest of all the pyramids that were built till then. The first and the largest pyramid was built for the pharaoh Khufu, and the second for his son Khafra, who  is also known as Chephren. Khafra's pyramid is guarded by the huge Shinx, another famous monument. The third pyramid at Giza was built for the pharaoh Mycerinus.

The second reason for the important of the pyramid at Giza is that though many pyramids were built after these three, none of them could match the Giza pyramid for their size and design. In short, none of the pyramids built before or after the Great Pyramids at Giza could rival them for their sheer impact and magnificence.

The most important and famous among the pyramids are the great pyramid at Giza. The biggest of these is the Great Pyramid also known as Cheops. Building it took 20 years, while the road leading to it was built in 10 years. It is estimated that it would have taken over 2,300,000 blocks of stone with average weight of two and half tons each to finish the pyramid..! Each stone was moved from a quarry and dragged and lifted into place  by over 1,00,000 slaves. The largest stones were cut and floated almost 1120 kms down the Nile to the pyramid site. The stones were dragged and set into place using only the simplest of tools. Is it any wonder that Great Pyramid was considered to one of the wonders of the world..?

What are the different parts of the Great pyramid complex..?
The Great pyramid of Giza is the main part of a complex setting of building. In addition to the Great pyramid, this complex consisted of three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives. There were also several pits  containing boats that have been buried, and a smller " satellite" pyramid. The complex contained two temples in honour of pharaoh, and a raised causeway that connected the two temples. The pyramid was surrounded by Matsaba tombs for nobles..
