that is a solid lump of rocks. When you're up close and
personal, you can well believe that the pyramids have stood as
they do for many thousands of years (about 4,600) without being

great pyramid was built over 20 years by 100,000 men working in
three monthly shifts. The shape of the pyramid had religious
significance for ancient Egyptians as it was the 3-dimensional
stone representation of the suns rays.
