Cheops Pyramid

The _Pyramid of Cheops_ is in _Giza_. It is the heighest pyramid ever
built, belongs to the fourth daynasty and is dated c. 2606-2583 B.C.
It was built of granite blocks and raised to a height of 146.5 m. (479
feet). The size of the project is gigantic. It used 2.6 million cu. m.
(3.4 million cu. yards) of stone. Built in several stages, the funeral
chamber was finally placed at the heart of the pyramid, reched by a
great gallery. Especially noteworthy is the roofing system used above
the gallery and the burial chamber.
