The Khufu Pyramid, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, is one of the most iconic and largest pyramids in Egypt. It was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) of the Fourth Dynasty, around 2580–2560 BC. The pyramid originally stood at 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall, making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. It is made of an estimated 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing around 2.5 tons on average. The construction of the Khufu Pyramid remains a remarkable engineering feat, with theories about its construction techniques still debated by scholars and archaeologists.
