The Giza Pyramid Complex, also called the Giza Necropolis, is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers village.

Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, which is now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Although diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, the site has not yet been excavated.

Khafre’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre, some of which were discovered in a well in the temple’s floor by Mariette in 1860.

Menkaure’s pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once contained several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added on to the valley temple.

It is believed that the Sphinx was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre in the Fourth Dynasty, around 2500 BCE. The statue was likely intended to guard the pyramid complex and symbolize power and wisdom.

The Sphinx measures about 73.5 meters in length, 19.3 meters in width, and 20.22 meters in height. It is made of limestone and has suffered from weathering over the centuries.

The Sphinx is considered a symbol of strength, protection, and wisdom. There are many legends about the Sphinx, including stories about the guardian statue that narrates the history of ancient Egypt.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser, located in Saqqara, is one of Egypt’s oldest pyramids, built around 2670 BCE for Pharaoh Djoser. Designed by the architect Imhotep, it features six stepped layers of limestone and stands about 62 meters tall. It represents a significant advancement in pyramid construction, evolving from earlier mastaba tombs. The pyramid has been subject to various restoration efforts to preserve its condition.

Memphis was one of the oldest and most important cities in ancient Egypt, located near modern-day Cairo. It served as the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom and played a significant role in the history of Egyptian civilization.

Founded around 3100 BCE by King Menes, who unified Upper and Lower Egypt, Memphis was a major political, cultural, and religious center. The city included important structures such as the Temple of Ptah, dedicated to the god Ptah, and was known for its large statues, including the famous statue of Ramses II.

Memphis was crucial for governance, administration, and culture in ancient Egypt, contributing significantly to the development of Egyptian civilization.
