    The Grand Egyptian Museum

    The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) has a history beginning with Egypt's 1992 plan to build a modern museum near the Giza Pyramids to house its artifacts. Following an international design competition won by Heneghan Peng Architects in 2002, construction officially started in 2005. The project faced delays due to political and economic changes but resumed in phases, with major construction and the transfer of thousands of artifacts completing between 2018 and 2021. The museum began soft openings and tours in 2023, with a full opening scheduled for 2024-2025, making it the world's largest archaeological museum.

    Great Pyramid of Giza

    Great Pyramid of Giza, also called Great Pyramid and Great Pyramid of Khufu, ancient Egyptian pyramid that is the largest of the three Pyramids of Giza. It was built to honor Khufu, the second king of Egypt’s 4th dynasty, and was completed about 2560 BCE. The Great Pyramid is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing today. As perhaps the largest single building ever constructed, it is a wonder mainly because of its scale and because of the incredible precision with which the work was executed. It is assumed to be the burial place of Khufu, but only an empty sarcophagus has been found inside. The pyramid originally stood about 482 feet (147 meters) high with four equal sides each measuring about 755 feet (230 meters). The giant, stepped sides were originally covered with highly polished limestone casing stones. When in place, these stones, weighing some 15 tons apiece and slotted together with unerring accuracy, would have lent sheen to the structure in the sun.

    Sphinx of Giza

    The 66-foot-tall (20-meter-tall) Sphinx of Giza is an icon of ancient Egypt, and the subject of continued debate regarding its meaning, age, and original builder.
