Dozens of archaeologists, astrologers and physicists have worked for centuries and are still working today to unravel the truth and the mysteries around the necropolis of Giza and the amazing archaeological sites that it includes. The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are the only one out of the seven wonders of the world that actually exists today.
The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, joined the so called Necropolis. Near the historic Egyptian city are actually three stone structures built with geometrical accuracy - Heops (Hufu) which is the oldest and largest pyramid, Hefren (Hafra) that seems highest because it has more platforms built or Mikerin (Menkaura) whose base is four times smaller than the other two. It is believed that the statue of the Sphinx had begun to erode even from the time of Ramses.
For about 2 centuries, the stone blocks of the pyramids of Giza were used for the construction of one of the oldest buildings in Cairo. However, this ended in the late 19th century when they began the first campaigns of the Preservation of the Pharaonic complex.
Largely this act of vandalism and disregard for the historical relic by the Egyptians is to blame for the relatively poor state of the Giza pyramids and Sphinx, which otherwise would have been preserved till today in the form in which they were built.
The largest pyramid was built for the pharaoh Hufu around 2530 BC and in the early 20th century it was considered the largest building on the planet. Countries of the Great Pyramid were directed by three degrees deviation from the cardinal points.
Its base has a side length of 230 m and only shows 2.6 cm deviation from the ideal horizontal. The difference in the length of the four countries is only 5.2 cm, which are insignificant against the backdrop of its huge size.
