The Great Pyramid is the only survivor of the Ancient Wonders of the World. It is located outside on modern day Cairo in Egypt. The Great Pyramid is the oldest of all of the ancient wonders and is almost 4,000 years old. It was built in about 2560 B.C. by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. When first built the pyramid was approximately 480 feet tall (146meters), but today is only 137 meters. This was the tallest man made structure in the world for almost 4,000 years.
Pyramids were built to serve as tombs for the pharaohs. After death, the pharaoh's body was treated with a mummification process to preserve their bodies for the after life and buried with all of their wealth.
