Khufu Pyramid

THE PYRAMID OF PHARAOH KHUFU

It is said that there are approximately 60 pyramids on the west bank of the Nile River. Of these, the Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu is the largest. All pyramids built after this became progressively smaller.
Each side of the pyramid faces exactly north, south, east, and west. Each side measures 230.4 meters in length and the height is 146 meters. Overall the pyramid has a size of 2,600,000m3.
What is known about the pyramid is that it consists of 3,180,000 stone blocks with three inner rooms and one main corridor.
It is said that it would take five years and 3,500 people to build the pyramid with conventional construction methods.
The contents of the pyramid were looted long ago. The mummified remains and the artifacts buried with him remain a mystery.
In many pyramids, there were various devises used, such as false rooms and dead-end passages, in order to protect the treasures and royal remains from grave robbers.
