1 The curvature designed into the faces of the pyramid exactly matches the radius of the earth. 2  Khufuâs pyramid, known as the great pyramid of Giza, is the oldest and largest, rising at 481 feet (146 meters). 3  Archaeologists say it was the tallest structure in the world for about 3, 800 years.
The oldest and largest of the three pyramids at Giza, known as the Great Pyramid, is the only surviving structure out of the famed seven wonders of the ancient world. It was built for Khufu (Cheops, in Greek), Sneferuâs successor and the second of the eight kings of the fourth dynasty. Though Khufu reigned for 23 years (2589-2566 B.C.), relatively little is known of his reign beyond the grandeur of his pyramid. The sides of the pyramidâs base average 755.75 feet (230 meters), and its original height was 481.4 feet (147 meters), making it the largest pyramid in the world.
