The Pyramids of Egypt, built at Giza during the 4th Dynasty, sometim between 2680 and 2544 BC, are the oldest of the seven wonders and the only ones remaining intact today. The great pyramids of Egypt still stand. They were built between 2650 and 2500 BC. Except for parts of the Mausoleum and of the temple of Artemis, they are the only one of the seven ancient wonders still standing. Of the seven wonders of the ancient world, only the pyramids of Egypt have survived in a form that resembles their original condition. The largest of the three, known as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, was made of approximately 2.3 million blocks of stone each weighing an average of 2.5 tons. Located in Giza on the west bank of the Nile River, near Cairo, the pyramids remain one of the engineering marvels of all time.
