The Great Pyramid is the greatest wonder of the world. It is the only remaining ancient wonder of the world. It is called the Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops). It was built by King Khufu. It was completed around 2560 BC. It was 481 feet tall or about 45 stories and was the tallest man made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Its base covers 13.6 acres. The sides are 756 feet long. It was built using 2.3 to 3 million limestone blocks, weighing between 2 and 80 tons each. The whole pyramid includes some six million tons of rock.
