the pyramids show introduction

In one hour, the show narrates the Pharaohs’ history, legends, and secrets, revealing more about the powerful ancient civilization. The Pyramid of Khufu, known as the Great Pyramid, was built on a flat land of 230 square meters and 146.5 meters high when the construction was completed around 2000 years BC.

This pyramid is composed of about 2.3 million blocks of stone, with an average weight of 2.5 tons each. There have been many theories concerning the Pyramids’ construction. However, the most common belief suggests that slaves have contributed to the process under the Pharaoh’s supervision.

Among all the 70 pyramids scattered all around Egypt, the Great Pyramid is the most famous of them all. The three pyramids situated in the Giza Plateau, along with the other structures, adopt the same design and architecture. However, the Great Pyramid has a significant change in the design of burial chambers, including other unique facilities. The Pyramid is unusual compared to other pyramids as the king's burial chamber is not below the surface or at the surface of the earth.

On the pyramid’s eastern side, the temple was placed as the center of the king’s team complex, linked via a paved road from the Nile Valley. Near the pyramid’s southern face, there is a small Satellite Pyramid, belonging to the Dynasty of the King and Queen. Near the southern side, there is a dismantled boat, built of cedarwood, with a length of 44 meters. According to an ancient belief, this boat served as a transition for the king to the afterlife.
