Giza:The pharaoh Khufu ruled Egypt from 2551 to 2528 B.C.E. Khufu was a harsh king. Khufu built the great pyramid. The way that the pyramid was built was the entrance of the pyramid lead to a corridor that moves downward to the very first unfinished burial chamber. The second unfinished chamber was the queen's chamber. The last chamber is called the the grand gallery. This chamber is sometimes called the king's chamber. We still don’t know how the great pyramid was built ,but scholars have made different suggestions about it. One of the way that they thought it was built was that the builders used ramps, long ones to lengthen and heighten the pyramid as it rose, and it wound around the pyramid face as it faced each layer of blocks upward.
