Khufu Pyramid

1. Basic Information: The Pyramid of Khufu is the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu from the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt and is the largest and tallest Egyptian pyramid in the world. Construction Time: Around 2580 BC. Status: It is not only a symbol of Egypt but also the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 2. Exterior Visit: Location: Located within the Giza Pyramid Complex, it can be seen upon entering the area. Preservation: It is the best-preserved pyramid to date, with the top weathered over time, but it still stands as a massive structure equivalent to a 40-story building. Exterior Features: From a distance, the pyramid appears as an isosceles triangle on all four sides, constructed with 2.3 million blocks of stone. Visiting Experience: Visitors can symbolically climb a few layers at the base of the pyramid. 3. Interior Visit: Interior Environment: Although ventilation equipment is installed, the passageways are narrow and quite stuffy inside, so visitors with health issues should proceed with caution. Tomb Entrance: Located 18 meters above the ground, the entrance faces the North Star. Internal Regulations: Photography is not allowed inside, and the corridors are illuminated. Visiting Route: Climb up the steep wooden stairs, pass through the corridor, and reach the Pharaoh's chamber. 4. Pharaoh's Chamber: Features: A small room made of granite, vertically 42.28 meters above the ground. Discovery: In 1881, archaeologists found only an empty sarcophagus in the central chamber. Empty Sarcophagus: A dark red granite empty sarcophagus is placed in the middle of the chamber, engraved with ancient Egyptian texts and patterns. Visitor Experience: Some visitors lie on the ground or sit cross-legged with closed eyes, seemingly trying to absorb the pyramid's aura. To this day, many still believe the pyramid possesses a special power. 5. Exit Experience: Walking back along the corridor from the chamber to the exit, one might feel a peculiar sensation of returning to the human world. #CustomTours #WorldCulturalAndNaturalHeritage #OverseasTravel
