The pyramid is one of the most well-known symbols of ancient Egypt, built for eternal protection for the royalty entombed in the chambers deep inside. During the timespan of 3,000 years starting in 2600 BCE, more than 75 pyramids were built in Egypt. The most well-known are called 'The Great Pyramids', located in the town of Giza, southwest of Cairo, the capitol of modern Egypt. The largest pyramid, more than 450 feet (180 meters) tall with more than two million stones totaling over 6 million tons, was built for the Pharoah Khufu in 2600 BCE. His son Khafre built a smaller pyramid, but it's on higher ground so it appears to be taller.  Khafre's son Menkaure built the 3rd (and smallest) of the Great Pyramids. All three of the Great Pyramids were originally covered in alabaster, but only Khafre has the stone remaining on the top section. Truly one of the Wonders of the World!
