The Giza Pyramids Complex is a piece of a mystery that defies the laws of nature as it has survived to for than 4500 years to stand as a primal example of the strength and architectural capabilities of the ancient Egyptians, it mainly consists of the three great pyramids, the valley temple, and the sphinx.
In pre-historical times in 2580 BC, a great one in a lifetime construction was created to reach all the way to the heavens and act as the final resting place for King Khufu. The Great Pyramid was designed by Khufu's Vizer Heminuu with the help of more than 100,000 workers and 2.3 million limestone blocks to reach 146.7 m (481ft) high. It is the only remaining constructions out of the legendary seven wonders of the world.
One of the oldest symbols and statues in the world is located in front of the great pyramid of Khafre known as the sphinx, 19 m (66 ft) wide and 73 m (240 ft) tall which has the full physical appearance of a lion and the face of a man featured in the sitting position since the day of the old kingdom or even further.

After Egypt was unified by King Menes, Memphis city was dubbed as the first official capital in 2925 BC to honor Ptah the deity of artwork and craftsmanship.
