Pyramids of Giza, Giza

The pyramids of Giza are the only surviving Ancient Wonder of the World and one of the most famous tourist attractions in the modern world. They are some of the oldest sacred sites in our index and certainly among of the most impressive. Although it is clear the pyramids were used for the burial of pharaohs, the construction, date, and possible symbolism of the Giza pyramids are still not entirely understood. This mystery only adds to the attractiveness of these ancient wonders and many modern people still regard Giza as a spiritual place. A number of fascinating theories have been offered to explain the “mystery of the pyramids,” one of which is summarized below. Giza is the most important site on earth for many New Age followers, who are drawn by the pyramids’ mysteries and ancient origins. Since 1990, private groups have been allowed into the Great Pyramid, and the majority of these have been seekers of the mystical aspects of the site. But even the most skeptical visitor cannot help but be awed by the great age, grand scale and harmonic mathematics of the pyramids of Giza.

Build around 2560 B.C. the Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of the three pyramids of Giza plateau and the first one you encounter after entering. Doesn't matter how many times have I seen it in books, movies, but staring at it in real, I was simply awestruck!! Constructed over 20 years and 3 million stone blocks, it reminds us how advanced this ancient civilization was in every aspect. Just looking at it makes one feel humble and blessed.
