The Great Pyramid of Giza is a giant stone building that was made a long, long time ago by people who lived in ancient Egypt.
Imagine stacking 100 toy blocks, one on top of the other, that's about how tall the Great Pyramid is! It’s like a super-tall tower made not of plastic, but of big, heavy stones, some as big as your car!
How it was built
Why it’s special
The Great Pyramid was made for a king who wanted to live forever, so he could rule even in the afterlife. People worked very hard on it because they believed this would help their king become a god.
It still stands today, like a giant gift from ancient Egypt to us!
