Khafre
(l.) and Khufu (r.) are two of the three ancient Pyramids in Giza,
Egypt. Khufu is the biggest, consisting of more than 2 million stones
with some weighing 9 tons. The Pyramids, built as elaborate tombs for
divine kings, date back to 2,550 BC. Modern Egyptologists believe that
the Pyramids are made from stones dragged from quarries and, despite
ancient Greek testimony, were built predominantly by skilled craftsmen
rather than slave labor.
