Subject: Khufu’s Pyramid, Architect unknown, located in El Giza Tentative Title: Internal Arrangements of Khufu’s Pyramid at Giza Description: The great Pyramids of Giza are widely recognized buildings in the history of the world. Being one of the Seven Wonders of the World the Pyramids intrigued me specifically to research Khufu’s pyramid. This pyramid was the first of the three to be constructed and is also the largest. The three pyramids are all aligned diagonally and face northeast. Khufu’s pyramid faces north entirely followed by the other two.
A large city in the Stone Age is made up of a thousand to a couple of thousand people, the size of the smallest of towns today. Things that were amazing 4,500 years ago simply aren't that impressive to me today. I liked the new theory about Stonehenge and the evidence certainly makes it seem possible. I liked the dramatic recreations. What the archaeologist finds absolutely amazing about a Stone Age society, I think is very interesting myself because it shows how people lived over thousands of years ago.
The pyramid of Khufu The pyramid of Khufu wich is also called the great pyramid of Giza is located in Giza, Egypt, it is the grandest of all the pyramids and it is the sole survivor among the seven wonders of the ancient world. It is the largest and the oldest of all the three pyramids at the Giza and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The pyramid of Khufu was built in 2623 B.C.E during the fourth dynasty of Egypt, within seven hundred years after Egyption civilization became stabilized,it was constructed over 4000 years ago when most culture of the world were living in mud of stone structures. The trio of large pyramid at Giza are the work of sneferu's descendants, the fourth dynasty pharaohs known as khufu,khafre and menkaure. The pyramid of khufu stands 481 feet high, measures roughly 756 feet on each side and cover 13 acres of land it is the largest of ancient Egypt's 70 pyramids, if the blocks that form the pyramid were reduced to foot-sized square cubes and lined up, the cubs would stretch for 16,600 miles.
The pyramid is also the tallest man made structure for over 3800 years, and was later surpassed by Lincoln cathedral. The pyramid is a tomb built for the fourth dynasty Egyptian king Khufu, and that is why the pyramid of Giza is also called Khufu’s pyramid or the pyramid of Khufu. Khufu was remembered as a very ruthless king, but he is also remembered as the builder of the pyramid. The pyramid was built just under 30 years, used about 2 million blocks of stone, each blocks weigh 2.5 tons, and how did they move them from 500 miles away? Well a lot of people belief that sloping ramps built out of mud, stone, and wood were used as transportation.
The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Originally the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, and what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
Effectively, it seems, the pyramid served both as a gigantic training project and - deliberately or not - as a source of 'Egyptianisation'. The workers who left their communities of maybe 50 or 100 people, to live in a town of 15,000 or more strangers, returned to the provinces with new skills, a wider outlook and a renewed sense of national unity that balanced the loss of loyalty to local traditions. The use of shifts of workers spread the burden and brought about a thorough
The pyramids of Egypt are the best known example of Egyptian architecture. According to the ancient Egyptian belief, pyramids were built to protect the bodies of Egypt kings and royalty for their life after death. Pyramids can be defined as large structures with four triangular sides that meet in a point at the top, directly over the centre of the pyramid’s square base. There are approximately 110 pyramids currently known in Egypt, most of them in bad condition and almost destroyed and others that have remained unfinished. The first pyramid built that was similar to a true pyramid, was built during the 3rd Dynasty – 2630 B.C.
The earliest and greatest of the pyramids at Giza is Khufu’s pyramid, which stands 479 feet high and has a base of 755 square feet. It took 2.3 million stone blocks to construct Khufu’s Pyramid, and each block weighed between 2 and 5 tons each (Sayre, 2011, pp.73). That’s 4.5 – 11.5 million tons of stone! That would be an impressive feat even with modern man’s machinery, so how did the ancient Egyptians accomplish such an enormous configuration? That question remains unanswered to this day, but there are many theories and speculations.

Under Armour major strengths was it’s product performance and strong brand image: these factors established Under Armour as a well recognized and respected brand name. A final major strengths Under Armour was established in 2005 as the brand went public, seeking to sell as much as $100 million in shares of common stock. Following the first quarter, Under Armour held 43% of the total U.S. performance apparel business market. The most noticeable problem was Under Armour Product line.
Later, the steps were filled in with stone and the top was made into a point. This pyramid design with the smooth sloped sides and the pointy top is called the bent pyramid. Pyramids were huge structures. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the largest pyramid ever built and measures about 450 feet high and nearly 800 feet long. It was considered to be the tallest building in the world until the Eiffel Tower was built.
