It is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and was the tallest man-made structure on the planet for over 3800 years, until the 160 meter tall spire of Lincoln Cathedral was completed in England in c. 1300. Most egyptological authorities believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb for Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. The pyramid is composed of over 2.3 million stone blocks averaging 2.5 tonnes, the heaviest being between 50 and 80 tonnes. With a base covering 13 acres, a volume of 2.5 million cubic meters, a weight of 5.9 million tonnes, and a height of 138.8 meters (originally 146.6 meters), the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza is estimated to have taken up to 20 years, concluding around 2560 BC.
