The Great Pyramid of Khufu has always fascinated people because it is the only ancient wonder of the world that exists today. It is also possible people are fascinated because Khufu’s pyramid, especially the interior, is very complex. The modern entrance to the pyramid was created in the Ninth Century A.D. by el-Mamoun son of Haroun el-Rhasied. The true entrance is above this one. This passage goes down through the pyramid, and then connects to another corridor that ascends to the King’s and Queen’s Chambers. The original passage continues downwards into an unfinished chamber directly under the pyramid. Discussion about the purpose of these chambers and the complexity of the pyramid is varied and ongoing.

Ancestral Genesis
Ten Miles west of the modern city of Cairo at the end of an acacia, tamarind, and eucalyptus avenue stands a rocky plateau. A mile square, it dominates the luxuriant palm groves of the nile Valley from a height of 130 feet. On this man-leveled plateau, stands the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
The Pyramid's base covers 13 acres, or 7 midtown blocks of the city of New York. Form this Broad area, leveled to with in a fraction of an inch, more than two-and-a-half million blocks of limestone and granite--weighing from 2 to 70 tons apiece--rise in 201 stepped tiers toward the Egyptian skies
If all the stone work in churches chapels and cathedrals in England since the time of Christ were calculated, it still wouldn't equal the volume of stone that was used in the building of the Great Pyramid
Both the enormity and the astounding precision involved in the design and construction of the Great Pyramid astonishes modern engineers today. Not only was there the difficulty in assembling into place of the inner core blocks but the Great Pyramid was coated with a dazzling finish of white limestone casing blocks.
There are absolutely no records of just how the pyramid looked after its completion. Not on papyrus nor wall painting throughout the entire land of Egypt was there any record kept of this most prodigious and all consuming way of life.
