"UNESCO World Heritage The only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World has been an object of awe for centuries, the center of numerous scholarly disagreements, and the focus of wild theories. One of those theories is that the pyramid contains an accurate prophecy of the future- a prophecy scholars and theologists have constantly attempted to unravel. The pyramid was built for Pharaoh Khufu (or Cheops), the son of Pharaoh Snofru. The largest of all the Egyptian pyramids, it was originally covered in white limestone to make it gleam in the sun. The first accurate measurements were taken by Sir Flinders Petrie in the 1880s. The pyramid originally stood 480 feet (146 m) high, contained more than two million blocks of stone, and was built with such precision that the base was almost a perfect square, with each side 755 feet (230 m) long. It may have taken a workforce, perhaps 100,000 strong at its peak, as long as fifty years to build, although scholars' estimates vary enormously, as do the suggested dates. Not far away is a cedarwood boat, discovered in 1945 in one of five boat pits sunk around Khufu's pyramid; it is now preserved in the Solar Boat Museum. The boat may have been intended to carry the dead king with the sun god on his daily journey across the sky and through the underworld at night. Also close by is the slightly smaller pyramid of Khufu's son, Khafre (or Chephren). A professional strongman turned tomb robber called Giovanni Belzoni blasted his way inside the pyramid in 1818, and then discovered that robbers had been there long before him. The Great Sphinx is close to Chephren's pyramid and there is a third, smaller pyramid built by his son Menkaure (or Mycerinus). Apparently, the huge expenditure of money and labor on pyramid building was by this time on the wane."
