Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza ({{coor dms|29|58|41|N|31|07|53|E|type:landmark_region:EG_scale:50000}}) is the oldest and last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the World. A part of the Giza pyramid complex, it is arguably the most recognizable structure ever built on Earth and possibly the most intriguing as well. Though no pharaoh has ever been found buried in an Egyptian pyramid, mainstream Egyptologists believe the Great Pyramid was built as the tomb of Fourth dynasty Egyptian king Khufu (also known under his Greek name Cheops), after whom it is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu. Traditionally, the architect of the pyramid was HemInwo, a relative of Khufu.
