The only Wonder of the Ancient World 🇪🇬

The Giza Pyramids Plateau is a historical and cultural site in Egypt, where the ancient Egyptians built several monumental pyramids and a giant sphinx. The main pyramids belong to the pharaohs Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos, who ruled during the 4th Dynasty (around 2600-2500 BC). The pyramids were originally covered with limestone blocks, which gave them a smooth and shiny appearance. The sphinx is a mythical creature with a human head and a lion body, which faces east and guards the pyramids. The Giza Pyramids Plateau is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Memphis and its Necropolis. It is one of the most famous and visited tourist attractions in the world, and the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. #christmastrip
