Hole 7 / Pyramids & Sphinx of Giza

Located at Giza, Cairo, Egypt, Africa

Built ca. 2560 BC

Latitude 29°58’N

The buildings of the pyramids began in the time of the old Kingdom of the Pharaoh Dynasty. Not just the antiquity, or their size is a wonder, but also the cardinal points of the compass and the achievement of the variance, less than many modern engineering technologies, is remarkable. Yet the Egyptians of nearly 5000 years ago manage to transport more than seven million tons of stone and erect them with this breathtaking precision.

The statue of the Sphinx is an additional mystery to the story.
