The Egyptian Pyramids
These astonishing monuments were built between 3000 and 2000BC, and the Pyramids in Giza were the world's tallest buildings for many millennia.
As the only one of the classical Seven Wonders of the World still remaining, the Pyramids have a vast cultural significance as one of the seats of meaningful civilization, and have been a running theme of marvel and contemplation among historians and geographers across the centuries.
