The great pyramids of Giza are perhaps the most famous and discussed structures in
history. They are the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. These
massive monuments were unsurpassed in height for thousands of years after their
construction and continue to amaze and enthral us with their overwhelming mass and
seemingly impossible perfection. Their exacting orientation and mind-boggling construction
has elicited many theories about their origins, including unsupported suggestions that they
had alien impetus. However, by examining the several hundred years prior to their emergence
on the Giza plateau, it becomes clear that these incredible structures were the result of many
experiments, some more successful than others, and represent an apogee in line with the
development of the royal mortuary complex.
