The cab ride to the Giza plateay which is ten miles from down town Cairo is a perilous journey to say the least. Neverthelss, a ten mile square of 5000 year old monolithic artifacts dominate the site. For thousands of years untold millions have made the 130 foot climb to visit the 8th wonder of the world.

The Pyramid's base covers 13 acres, or 7 midtown blocks of the city of New York. Form this Broad area, leveled to with in a fraction of an inch, more than two-and-a-half million blocks of limestone and granite--weighing from 2 to 70 tons apiece--rise in 201 stepped tiers toward the Egyptian skies

The incredible volume of stone equates to more than all the cathedrals, chapels and churches built in England since the time of Jesus Christ. This incredible fete was not matched until the build of the Hoover Dam.

Both the enormity and the astounding precision involved in the design and construction of the Great Pyramid astonishes modern engineers today. Not only was there the difficulty in assembling into place of the inner core blocks but the Great Pyramid was coated with a dazzling finish of white limestone casing blocks.

There are absolutely no records of just how the pyramid looked after its completion. Not on papyrus nor wall painting throughout the entire land of Egypt was there any record kept of this most prodigious and all consuming way of life.
