EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, Egypt. Standing tall as a testament to ancient Egyptian architecture and religious beliefs, this monumental structure was built during the 4th dynasty of the Old Kingdom in the 26th century BC. As the only surviving wonder from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it holds immense historical significance. Originally constructed as a mausoleum for Pharaoh Khufu (also known as Cheops), this pyramid served as his final resting place.
