During the Roman era, the pyramids were among the tourist destinations of Rome . The Great Pyramid has a number of chambers and some of these can be seen by tourists today.

The pyramids were sealed off and no one was meant to enter them to see (and loot) their secrets and treasures. The pyramids of Giza were encased with smooth white limestone and were part of a complex with satellite pyramids, temples, causeways, and more. The pyramids looked very different when they were first built , but visitors can glimpse them today. Here's what to know about touring the Great Pyramid.

Size & Purpose Of The Great Pyramid Of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest pyramid in Egypt (only a little larger than the Pyramid of Khafre) and was built as a mausoleum for the Pharaoh Khufu. It should be noted that the Ancient Egyptians did not see the pyramids as 'tombs' or their pharaohs as 'dead.' Instead, the pyramids were part of a larger complex designed to take the pharaoh to the afterlife.

• Built: 26th Century BC
• Height: 481 feet (original); 454 feet (today)

The Great Pyramid was built in the early 26th century BC and took around 27 years to construct. For some 3,800 years, the Great Pyramid was the tallest building in the world (originally 146.6 meters or 481 feet tall, now 138.5 meters or 454.4 feet tall).

The Great Pyramid is the most famous monument of the Giza Necropolis or Giza Pyramid Complex .

The Three Known Chambers Inside The Great Pyramid Of Giza

The Great Pyramid is awe-inspiring from the outside but somewhat underwhelming on the inside. There are three main known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. Additionally, there is the Grand Gallery and various corridors and shafts.

There are more secrets of the Great Pyramid still waiting to be discovered. A new passageway or hidden corridor was announced to have been discovered in March 2023 that measures some 9 meters or 30 feet long and 2 meters or 6 feet wide. It was found with non-invasive scans near the main entrance.

Subterranean Chamber

One of these chambers is not even in the pyramid per se , instead, the Subterranean Chamber (or 'Pit') was cut into the bedrock beneath the pyramid. This chamber remains unfinished and is located 89 feet or 27 meters below the base level. This room measures 27.5 feet by 46.4 feet and has a height of 13 feet.

The access to the Subterranean Chamber is through the Descending Passage, and it has been suggested that this may have been intended as the burial place for the pharaoh. This plan was changed later in favor of the King's Chamber higher in the pyramid.

This chamber was rediscovered in 1817.

Queen's Chamber

The Queen's Chamber is linked to the Grand Gallery by the Horizontal Passage. Despite its name, it is unlikely that a queen was buried there. Instead, it seems more probable that it once housed a life-size statue of the pharaoh.

The floor is rough, almost as though it's unfinished. The room measures 17 feet by 19 feet and the ceiling is 20.6 feet at the apex. The room is completely void of any contents with anything placed in the chamber removed long ago.

King's Chamber

The King's Chamber is the highest of the three main chambers and is completely faced with granite. This was the burial chamber of the Great Pyramid. Above the chamber are five compartments that were separated by huge horizontal granite slabs; these were likely meant to divert the massive weight of the pyramid above.

The chamber measures 34.4 feet by 17.2 feet and its ceiling is 19 feet high.

The only object still remaining in the chamber is the sarcophagus which is made out of a single granite block. The King's Chamber was rediscovered in the Early Middle Ages and it was quickly plundered for anything that was stored in the chamber.

Tour Inside The Great Pyramid While In Giza

Visitors can go inside the Great Pyramid (as well as the neighboring Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure). It is a separate ticket to go in each of the pyramids in addition to admission to the archeological site.

• Entry Fee Giza Pyramids Site: 240 Egyptian Pounds ($8 USD)
• Entry Fee Great Pyramid: 440 Egyptian Pounds ($14 USD)
• Opening Hours: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm

Visitors need to walk through narrow passageways (having to stoop down in places). Tourists see the King's Chamber and some of the other hidden passageways. It is perhaps surprising that the largest building in the world for thousands of years is actually cramped inside.

While in Giza, take the time to see the other Ancient Egyptian necropolises and see the other impressive pyramids of Egypt .

All three of Giza's famed pyramids and their elaborate burial complexes were built during a frenetic period of construction, from roughly 2550 to 2490 B.C. The pyramids were built by Pharaohs Menkaure (front), Khafre (middle), and Khufu (back),

• HISTORY & CULTURE

The Pyramids at Giza were built to endure an eternity—but how?

How the ancient wonder was built is one of Egypt's biggest mysteries. But archaeologists do have insight into who built them—and what they hold inside.

The Giza Pyramids, built to endure an eternity, have done just that. The monumental tombs are relics of Egypt's   Old Kingdom era and were constructed some 4,500 years ago.

Egypt's pharaohs expected to become gods in the afterlife. To prepare for the next world they erected temples to the gods and massive pyramid tombs for themselves—filled with all the things each ruler would need to guide and sustain himself in the next world.

Each of the three massive pyramids is but one part of a larger complex, including a palace, temples, solar boat pits, and other features. Here’s what to know about who built them, how they were built—and the treasures we’ve discovered inside.

Who built the Pyramids of Giza?

Pharaoh Khufu was the first Egyptian king to build a pyramid in Giza, a project he began in circa 2550 B.C. His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and originally towered some 481 feet (147 meters) above the plateau—it’s a bit shorter now with its smooth casing stones long gone. Its estimated 2.3 million stone blocks each weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons.

Khufu's son, Khafre, built the second pyramid at Giza, circa 2520 B.C. His necropolis, or burial ground, stands out on the landscape because it also includes the Sphinx, a mysterious limestone monument with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. The Sphinx, which before the 1800s spent thousands of years buried in the sand with only its head visible, may stand sentinel for the pharaoh’s tomb complex, although there’s no definitive proof that he built it.

( Who did build the Spinx? 4,500 years later, we took a fresh look .)

The third of the Giza Pyramids is considerably smaller than the first two—less than half their height at about 218 feet. Built by Khafre’s son Menkaure circa 2490 B.C. the pyramid’s elaborate complex includes two separate temples connected by a long causeway, and three individual queens’ pyramids. Menkaure’s chambers include niche decorations unique to Giza and a vaulted ceiling in his burial chamber itself. The pharaoh’s elaborate sarcophagus was lost at sea near Gibraltar in 1838.

How were the pyramids built?

The ancient engineering feats at Giza were so impressive that even today scientists and engineers can't be sure exactly how the pyramids were built. Yet they have learned much about the people who built them and the political power necessary to make it happen.

The builders were skilled Egyptian workers who lived in a nearby temporary city sprawling over some 17 acres. The remains of bakeries and piles of animal bones show that they were very well fed for their labor. Archaeological digs on the fascinating site have revealed a highly organized community, rich with resources, that must have been backed by strong central authority.

( Who was the first Pharaoh? )

Archaeological sites across Egypt and records written on ancient papyri show that boatmen used the Nile and a network of artificial waterways to bring materials to the Giza Plateau, including granite from Aswan quarries, copper cutting tools from the Sinai Peninsula, and timber from Lebanon. To sustain the workers, they also delivered cattle from farms near the Nile Delta.

It's likely that communities across Egypt contributed workers, as well as food and other essentials, for what became in some ways a national project to display the wealth and control of the ancient pharaohs.

Scientists and engineers are still debating exactly how the pyramids were constructed. It’s generally believed that the Egyptians moved massive stone blocks to the heights along large ramps, greased by water or wet clay, using a system of sledges, ropes, rollers, and levers. Some suggest exterior ramps either zig-zagged or spiraled around each pyramid, while a more controversial theory suggests internal ramps were used.

How did this female pharaoh survive being erased from history?

These secrets of the pyramids’ construction may lie below the surface. Perhaps as future imaging technology reveals the arrangements of blocks inside, they will provide a blueprint for how Egyptian builders created these timeless monuments.

If the pyramids helped to build ancient Egypt, they also preserved it. Giza allows us to explore a long-vanished world.

"Many people think of the site as just a cemetery in the modern sense, but it's a lot more than that," says Harvard University Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian . "In these decorated tombs you have wonderful scenes of every aspect of life in ancient Egypt—so it's not just about how Egyptians died but how they lived."

( How cosmic rays helped find a tunnel in Egypt’s Great Pyramid .)

Tomb art includes depictions of ancient farmers working their fields and tending livestock, fishing and bird hunting, practicing carpentry, wearing costumes, and performing religious rituals and burial practices.

Inscriptions and texts also allow research into Egyptian grammar and language. "Almost any subject you want to study about Pharaonic civilization is available on the tomb walls at Giza," Der Manuelian says.

Many of these unique resources are freely accessible to all at The Giza Project , an enormous collection of photographs, plans, drawings, manuscripts, object records, and expedition diaries from the world's leading institutions, gathered together in an incredible online repository for Giza-related material.

This collection preserves paintings and inscriptions that have since faded away, captures artifacts that have been lost or destroyed, and unlocks tombs not accessible to the public.

And while nothing could ever replicate the experience of a personal visit to Giza, the reconstructions of GIZA 3D may be the closest you can get. Virtual visitors from anywhere in the world can wander the wonders of the plateau and take guided tours of pyramids, temples, and even tombs.

What are we still discovering about the pyramids?

The pyramids of Giza still hold plenty of secrets. And while scientists continue to make new discoveries, many of them also raise new questions.

The ScanPyramids project , an international team under the authority of Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities, has been using modern technology to delve inside the pyramids since 2015 without setting foot inside. Advances in high-energy particle physics have allowed them to use cosmic rays to uncover various empty spaces that had been hidden for 4,500 years—including one void that rivals the size of the pyramid’s Grand Gallery and another passage, dubbed the North Face Corridor,   to the Pyramid of Khufu.

It’s unclear if anything is inside these spaces, but most experts believe they have no ritual significance. Instead, they were likely used during construction, a carefully engineered system to distribute the weight and stress of these iconic structures that have definitely stood the test of time.

360° Tour inside the Great Pyramid of Giza (Video)

• Read Later  

The BBC's 360° tour through the Great Pyramid of Giza , one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, provides viewers with an immersive virtual reality experience. The video tour starts in the heart of the pyramid, the ceremonial passage known as the Grand Gallery, and continues to the King's Chamber . The precision and architectural brilliance of the pyramid become evident as the viewers navigate through the narrow, low-roofed passages of this over 4,500-year-old edifice.

The video also explores the mysterious subterranean chamber, a feature of the pyramid normally closed off to the public. This enigmatic section is hewn out of the bedrock below ground level and, unlike the smooth surfaces found elsewhere in the pyramid, has rough and irregular walls. The purpose of this chamber and its unusual features, including a strange deep shaft and a short tunnel that ends abruptly, remain a mystery. Despite the enduring secrets it holds, the Great Pyramid , thanks to technological advances in virtual reality, now also shines as a marvel in the virtual world, giving us an unprecedented look into its fascinating interiors.

No rap beef formed against Metro shall prosper. Producer Metro Boomin made history at Pyramids of Giza with a sold out DJ set. Read more details about this historic venture inside.

Back in April 2024, Metro Boomin became the first rap music producer to perform at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. His performed a DJ set of his most popular songs at the Kundalini Grand Pyramids for an epic performance. Metro’s DJ set was held at the foot of the Pyramids of Giza complex, which is a global landmark that features the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. All these pyramids are massive, but the largest is the Great Pyramid, standing at 481 feet tall. It was once the tallest man-made structure in the world for 4,000 years.

After his latest collaborative albums We Don’t Trust You  and  We Still Don’t Trust You  with rapper Future quickly debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Metro took advantage of this moment to tour his beloved songs. He first announced the trip to Egypt just weeks before his performance.

Metro was originally performing one show on April 30. Once the show sold out, Live Nation quickly added April 29 as well.

“Beautiful country, beautiful city, beautiful people. [You] really can’t even put it into words,” Metro shared in an interview with Spotify’s RapCaviar.

The 30 year old producer and DJ stunned himself. Metro shared how unbelievable the moment was for him as he glanced out at the crowd.

“[I] kept looking at the crowd and [was] just amazed that this far around the world, this many people came to see me [and] enjoy these songs together,” the Grammy-nominated talent added. “And then I just kept turning around and seeing this [the pyramids] behind me. It was just insane, so it’s definitely something I’ll remember for the rest of my life — for sure.”

Check out the post below:

According to the Kundalini Grand Pyramids’ website , the venue holds 2,700 standing seats and 2,000 seated.

That’s major, Metro!

Take an 360° Interactive Tour Inside the Great Pyramid of Giza

in Architecture , History | July 31st, 2020 1 Comment

You can’t take it with you if you’ve got noth­ing to take with you.

Once upon a time, the now-emp­ty  Great Pyra­mid of Giza  was sump­tu­ous­ly appoint­ed inside and out, to ensure that Pharaoh Khu­fu, or Cheops as he was known to the Ancient Greeks, would be well received in the after­life.

Bling was a seri­ous thing.

Thou­sand of years fur­ther on, cin­e­mat­ic por­tray­als have us con­vinced that tomb raiders were greedy 19th- and 20th-cen­tu­ry cura­tors, eager­ly fill­ing their vit­rines with stolen arti­facts.

There’s some truth to that, but mod­ern Egyp­tol­o­gists are fair­ly con­vinced that Khufu’s pyra­mid was loot­ed short­ly after his reign, by oppor­tunists look­ing to grab some good­ies for their jour­ney to the after­life.

At any rate, it’s been picked clean.

Per­haps one day, we 21st-cen­tu­ry cit­i­zens can opt in to a pyra­mid expe­ri­ence akin to  Rome Reborn , a dig­i­tal crutch for our fee­ble imag­i­na­tion to help us past the emp­ty sar­coph­a­gus and bare walls that have defined the world’s old­est tourist attraction’s inte­ri­ors for … well, not quite ever, but cer­tain­ly for  Flaubert ,  Mark Twain , and 12th-cen­tu­ry schol­ar  Abd al-Latif .

Fast for­ward­ing to 2017, the  BBC’s Rajan Datar  host­ed “ Secrets of the Great Pyra­mid ,” a pod­cast episode fea­tur­ing Egyp­tol­o­gist  Sal­i­ma Ikram , space archae­ol­o­gist  Dr Sarah Par­cak , and archae­ol­o­gist, Dr  Joyce Tyldes­ley .

The experts were keen to clear up a major mis­con­cep­tion that the 4600-year-old pyra­mid was built by aliens or enslaved labor­ers, rather than a per­ma­nent staff of archi­tects and engi­neers, aid­ed by Egypt­ian civil­ians eager to barter their labor for meat, fish, beer, and tax abate­ment.

Datar’s ques­tion about a scan­ning project that would bring fur­ther insight into the Pyra­mid of Giza­’s con­struc­tion and lay­out was met with excite­ment.

This attrac­tion, old as it is, has plen­ty of new secrets to be dis­cov­ered.

We’re hap­py to share with you, read­ers, that 3 years after that episode was taped, the future is here.

The scan­ning is com­plete.

Wit­ness the BBC’s 360° tour inside the Great Pyra­mid of Giza.

Use your mouse to crane your neck, if you like.

As of this writ­ing, you  could   tour the pyra­mid in per­son , should you wish—the usu­al touris­tic hoards are def­i­nite­ly dialed down.

But, giv­en the con­ta­gion, per­haps bet­ter to tour the King’s Cham­ber, the Queen’s Cham­ber, and the Grand Gallery vir­tu­al­ly, above.

(An inter­est­ing tid­bit: the pyra­mid was more dis­tant to the ancient Romans than the Colos­se­um is to us.)

Lost technology of the maya / cliff dunning.

In this exclusive interview I am joined by author, researcher, explorer, Mayanist and host of the Earth Ancients podcast Cliff Dunning. The episode starts out with me asking Cliff to preview his upcoming tour to Turkey where he will visit Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe and many more ancient sites. Having just returned from his annual Egypt expedition, Cliff then shares with us his highlights from this adventure, and we get into a brief discussion about the colossal prediluvian statues of Egypt, as well as the unfortunate suppression of critical thought and exploration in Egypt. The bulk of the show is dedicated to the amazing Maya civilization. Do the Maya go back much further into history than we've been told? Did the Maya possess lost technology that enabled them to build mesmerizing pyramids, harness the energy of the earth and even... take to flight? Mayanist Cliff Dunning breaks it all down in this must see episode for every history lover! FOLLOW CLIFF HERE JOIN US FOR OUR 2024 PERU/BOLIVIA TOUR HERE

The Medieval Mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit

In this episode I break down the fascinating twelfth century account of the "Green Children of Woolpit," who seemingly appeared out of nowhere one evening near the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England during harvest season. Why did these children have green skin? Where did they come from? Were they really humans? I will attempt to answer some of these questions and also share many theories regarding these enigmatic kids. Next, we will travel to Utah to investigate the very strange six fingered “Bigfoot” petroglyph located in the Uinta Basin. No other petroglyph figure possesses feet of this size, proportion and nature anywhere else in this style or region. Was the ancient artist depicting what he saw or maybe what his ancestors said they saw according to their oral traditions? Might this be depicting a hybrid demi-god from the old world that descended into the American south-west in ages past?Lastly, I will read an enigmatic account found in the digital archives of the library of congress that speaks of some large skeletons with four fingers and four toes unearthed in a Connecticut quarry in the 1800s.

In this exclusive interview I am joined by explorer, researcher and author Dr Gregory Little who has written many books which include "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Native American Indian Mounds & Earthworks." Dr Gregory is the foremost expert regarding the ancient mound builders who thrived from coast to coast across North America in ages past.

Why do many of the strange artifacts that were unearthed inside these mounds appear to look as if they were Mayan artifacts? Why have many skeletons measuring between 7-8 feet long been found inside these mounds? Why are our history books and history classes nearly silent regarding this ancient mound building culture?
