The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest (and only) survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as defined by the Greeks in Antiquity. But when, how, and why was such an extravagant structure built, more than four thousand years ago? In tonight's story, we explore a page of the history of Ancient Egypt, discuss the meaning of this work for its builders, discover the construction techniques of the time, and evoke what we know of the life of pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty.
