It is only and single wonder which does not require a description by the historians of beginning and poets. It is only and single wonder which n' does not have need for the speculations concerning its appearance, the size and the form. C' is oldest, and yet it is only surviving older Seven wonders. It s' acts of the Large Pyramid of Gizah...
Place: At the town of Gizeh, a necropolis of l' old Memphis, and forming aujourd' part; today Large Cairo, Egypt.

History:
Contrary to the common belief, only the Large Pyramid of Khéops (Chéops), not the three large pyramids, is on the top of the list of the Wonders. The monument was built by the Egyptian Pharaon Khéops of IVe dynasty around l' year 2560 before JC to be been useful as a tomb when he dies. The tradition of pyramidal construction started in l' Old Egypt like a sophistication of l' idea d' a mastaba or “platform” which recovered falls to it royal. Later, several mastabas superimposed was used. Early pyramids, such as the pyramid with degrees of king Djeser (Djoser) in Saqqarah by the famous Egyptian architect, Imhotep, illustrate this matter. The large pyramid is supposed to be built over one 20 years period. The site was prepared, and of the blocks of stone were transported and placed. An outer jacket (which disappeared with the passing of years) was then used to smooth surface. Even if one does not know how the blocks were set up, several theories were proposed. A theory envisages construction d' a fifth or d' a slope in spiral which was raised that construction advanced. This slope, coatings of mud and d' water, facilitated the displacement of the blocks which were thorough (or drawn) in place. One second theory suggests that the blocks were placed while using the levers length with a foot with short angle. Throughout their history, the pyramids of Gizeh stimulated l' human imagination. They were called “the attics of Joseph” and “the Mountains of Pharaon”. When Napoleon invaded l' Egypt in 1798, its pride was expressed through its famous quotation: “Soldiers! The high one of the SCÉ Pyramids, 40 centuries contemplate us”. (Soldiers! Top of these pyramids, 40 centuries look at us) Aujourd' today, the Large Pyramid is closed, with the other pyramids and of the Sphinx, in the tourist area of the plate of Gizeh. Always in the field is the museum sheltering mysterious the dim. Boat, only discovered in 1954 close to southern bank of the pyramid. The boat is supposed to be used to transport the body of Khéops to its last voyage on the ground before d' to be buried with l' interior of the pyramid. It May also to be used to him as means of transport in its voyage beyond, according to the Egyptian beliefs.
Description:
During its construction, the large pyramid was 145,75 m (481 pi) height. With the passing of years, it lost 10 m (30 pi) with broad of its top. It have been classified like the highest structure of the Earth for more than 43 centuries, before d' to be exceeded in height in l' AD of the XIXe century. It was covered d' a stone coating to equalize its surface (approximately l' envelope can still be seen close to the top of the Khefre' pyramid; S). L' angle of slope of its east coasts of 54 degrees 54 minutes. Each east coast carefully directed with l' one of the cardinal points of the compass, which is, northern, southern, is and western. The horizontal section of the pyramid is with l' square on any level, whose each side measures 229 m (751 pi) length. L' maximum error enters the lengths of the east coasts surprisingly less than 0,1%. The structure is composed d' approximately 2 million blocks of stone, weighing each one more than two tons. It was suggested qu' there exists enough of blocks in the three pyramids to build of 3 m (10 pi) top, 0,3 m (1 pi) thick wall around France. The covered zone by the Large Pyramid can accomodate Saint-Pierre of Rome, the cathedral of Florence and Milan, and Westminster and St joined together Paul of London. On the northern face, is l' entry of the pyramid. Trees a certain number of corridors, galleries, and d' to escape to lead is with the funerary room of the king, or which was intended to serve d' other functions. The room of the King is located in the middle of the pyramid, only accessible by the Large Gallery and d' an ascending corridor. Sarcophagus of the king is made of red granite, like are the interior walls of the Room of the King. Most impressive is sharp stone on the door which is higher than 3 m (10 pi) length, 2,4 m (8 feet) of top and 1,3 m (4 pi) d' thickness. All stones of l' Interior made so well, a chart s' do not insert between them. The sarcophagus is directed according to the directions of the compass, and n' is that d' approximately 1 cm of smaller dimensions than l' entry of room. It could be introduced with the structure was progresses. New theories relating to l' origin and the goal of the Pyramids of Gizeh was proposed… astronomical Observatoires… Lieux of worship worship… Géométrique of the structures built by a civilization for a long time disappeared… Même the extraterrestrial-related theories were proposed with few evidence with l' support… the scientific and historical overpowering proof always takes charges the conclusion with it that, like much of small pyramids of the area, the large pyramids were built by Egyptian civilization ancient big wide of Western bank of the Nile, as for their splendid tombs of kings… Tombeaux where Khéops, Khefre, and Mykérinos could begin their mystical voyage beyond.
