Giza Pyramids, Egypt
The pyramids of Giza, on the plateau west of Cairo, were built as tombs for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure during the Old Kingdom, more than 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing; the Great Sphinx guards the site. Photos taken in 2004.
