Giza

The three 'Big Pyramids' of Giza were build about 2620 - 2500 BC.
The picture shows the middle and second largest one, the Chefren Pyramid. It is 136m high and has still parts of the original limestone cover on top. The rest has been taken down in the 14th century AD to build the Hassan mosque in Cairo.
