The Pyramids of Giza stand on a plateau on the west bank of the Nile River, just outside modern Cairo, Egypt. These massive MONUMENTS were built during the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egyptian civilization, roughly 4,500 years ago. The site includes three main pyramids, each built for a different PHARAOH (FAIR-oh) — a ruler of ancient Egypt. The largest of the three is the Great Pyramid, built for Pharaoh KHUFU (KOO-foo), and it is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing today.
