The Pyramids of Giza

Titten in Egypt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yahoooooooooooo. Titten has now also seen the only remaining ancient wonder of the world. Giza is a place for tourists, but if you need to go to a tourists trap this is one of them. Titten and the spinx
One pyramid, and a second one. The second biggest is the closest one, the couple of meters higher is in the back
Titten at the viewpoint for all the Giza Pyramids
The spinx that has lost it nose (lookes a littlebit like an old eigties rockstar, that is not to popular anymore) and a pyramide in the background

They are amazing engineering work and they are the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The tallest pyramid is almost 150 meters (146,5) (ref wikipedia.December is a good time to go, since it is not as warm. To walk inside one is an interesting expirence, but nothing to do for people with strong fear of claustofobia.
