There are more than a hundred pyramids(金字塔)in Egypt.The oldest of these are in Saqqara,but the three pyramids in Giza just outside Cairo are more famous.About 1,000,000 stones are needed to build a pyramid and most of the stones weigh about 2,500 kilograms.Some are even heavier and can weigh up to 16,000 kilograms!Nobody knows how people managed to move these stones without the use of machine.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the biggest and oldest of the three pyramids.It was built for Pharaoh (法老) Khufu more than 4,500 years ago,and his body was put inside one of the rooms after he died.It used to be 146.5 meters high,but it is now 139 meters,and it is 230 meters wide.It is one of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World,and is the only one that remains.All the others were destroyed mostly by earthquakes.
The Pyramid of Menkaure is not as big as the Great Pyramid,but it is still huge.It used to be 143.5 meters high and 215.5 meters wide.It was built for Khufu's son,Khafre.
The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest and is only a tenth of the size of Pyramid of Khafre.Even though the difference in size,expensive stones were used to make the Pyramid of Menkaure.It's believed that this is because Pharaoh Menkaure liked the quality(質(zhì)量)over size.
All three pyramids are protected by the government now,but you can still visit them.I think the best way to experience the pyramids is to ride a camel around them,with a tour guide to tell you about the pyramids and their history.
