I had always dreamed of going to Eygpt to see the pyramids… Giza's three pyramids (and the Sphinx) were constructed in the fourth dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom, arguably the first great civilization on earth. The Great Pyramid which used to be the tallest building in the world until early in this century -- was believed to have been built in just under 30 years! Imagine!!! Today, Giza is a suburb of rapidly growing Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the fifth largest in the world.
