The Great Pyramids of Giza, Cairo, Egypt
the Great Pyramids of Giza continue to draw hundreds of thousands from around the world every year. A complex containing three primary pyramids, a collection of subsidiary structures and the legendary Great Sphinx of Giza, it’s believed to have been constructed between 2580 and 2560BC. It’s known now that the pyramids housed the remains of the pharaohs who ruled over ancient Egypt, as well as anything they might need to navigate the afterlife – for this reason, the complex is sometimes also referred to as the Giza Necropolis. And, don’t worry, although rumours of the mummy’s curse still hang in the air, there’s no evidence that such a hex ever existed.
