Abstract Various Wonders of the World lists have been compiled over the ages in order to catalogue the most spectacular natural and man-made constructions. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the first known list of remarkable man-made creations of classical antiquity, and was based on guide-books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim.

Gazing from right to left are what seems like thousands of men, working around you in an effort to complete the impossible task that lays before them. For centuries and centuries, the Great Pyramid of Giza has withstood the test of time, and rises to be the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The monument has been a controversial case in the scientific community. Many scientist believe that the Sphinx is thousands of years older than what is currently held in the history books. The Sphinx is located on the Giza Plateau, west of the Nile River with the precise measurement of 241 feet long, 63 feet wide, and 66.34 feet high. Scientists conclude that the Sphinx was built in resemblance to Pharaoh Khafre in 2500 B.C. The anomalies behind the science and architectural

The great pyramids of Giza-the last of the 7 wonders of the world still standing to this day. How these marvels of construction came to be has been a mystery for many. It has boggled the minds of even scholars, so much so that they have amassed numerous theories as to how these behemoths of ancient structures were built.

He gently set Tabitha down on the soft ground and flew back to get the centaur, but the prince of the shifters turned into a small owl and flew over with them. They began traveling again and decide to set up camp on the outskirts of the forest. They enjoyed telling stories and eating their meals.

I chisel away at the limestone; I am writing on a tablet. It reads “Rise Ra out of the horizon”. I was ordered by Pharaoh Khafre to make this tablet, it will be soon used in a temple to honor the great god of the sun, Ra. Pharaoh Khafre worships Ra more than any other Pharaoh we have had in the past. He is trying to ensure that there is harmony between people and nature. He plans to build a great monument for us to worship the god Ra in. A great pyramid is in the works of being built as well, this

Leo, and was aligned with the Sphinx at about 2300 BC during the summer solstice. The Sphinx is believed to represent the pharaoh, Khafre. It guards the gates of Giza, where the pyramid of Khafre stands. The Sphinx was not built brick by brick, like the Great Pyramid of Egypt, but it was carved from a huge mass of limestone from the Giza Plateau. The Sphinx was built with three tunnels leading to somewhere, but the erosion has blocked them off, which doesn’t allow historians to figure our where they

Never before in history did any monument receive such wide attention from the public and media like the Great Sphinx of Giza. The 73.5m long and 20m high (Dieter Arnold) stone carved statue not only fascinates people from all around the world, but also created countless movie ideas, novels, video games and raises questions to those who are interested. Undoubtedly, Sphinx has become one of the most notable figures of ancient Egyptian culture just beside the pyramids in the eyes of westerners. However
