The Giza Pyramid Complex, located in Egypt, is one of the most iconic archaeological sites, featuring the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, all constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around c. 2600 – c. 2500 BCE. The site includes the renowned Great Sphinx, various temples, causeways, and a workers' village, reflecting advanced construction techniques and social organization. These structures served as monumental burial places for pharaohs, emphasizing their religious and ceremonial significance. The complex is also notable for its precise astronomical alignment and the presence of smaller pyramids and cemeteries for lesser royals.
