There are three Great pyramids at Giza, each of which once had an adjoining mortuary temple. The 'great' pyramid itself is truly an astonishing work of engineering skill - for over four thousand years, until the modern era, it was the tallest building in the world. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt which is one of the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
