The ancient Egyptians built large and elaborate pyramids as tombs for their kings, the pharaohs. They were built of huge stone blocks and took a couple of decades to build. The three pyramids of Giza are the most famous. They were built in the 26th century B.C. The largest pyramid of Giza is called the Great Pyramid of Khufu. It is also the largest and grandest pyramid ever built. It is 479 feet tall (146 meters). The pharaoh Sneferu built this pyramid for his son, Khufu, in 2540 B.C. It was built from millions of blocks of limestone and granite.
On the Giza Plateau, Khufu's builders oriented his pyramid almost perfectly north. The largest pyramid ever built, it incorporates about 2.3 million stone blocks, weighing an average of 2.5 to 15 tons each. It is estimated that the workers would have had to set a block every two and a half minutes.hufu, son of Snefru and second ruler of the 4th dynasty (time line) moved the royal necropolis to Giza, north of modern-day Cairo. According to ancient Greek historian Herodotus, Khufu (aka Cheops) enslaved his people to build his pyramid.
