In the Waste to Wonder Park, you can see the replica or miniature of the Pyramid. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered with limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the cover stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been different scientific and alternative theories regarding the construction techniques of the Great Pyramid. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by removing huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain substantially intact.

Based on the naming of the work gang based on a mark in an interior chamber and a reference to the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb for 10 to 20 years. Ended around 2560 BC. Initially, at 146.5 meters (481 ft), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years.

There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock on which the pyramid was built and was incomplete. The so-called [1] Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber are at the top of the pyramid structure. The main part of the Giza complex is a group of buildings that includes two mortuary temples in honour of Khunu (one near the pyramid and one near the Nile). Three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller "satellite" pyramid, a raised passage connecting the two temples, and smaller mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles.
