Lonely Planet review

The oldest pyramid in Giza and the largest in Egypt, the Great Pyramid of Khufu stood 146m high when it was completed in/around 2570 BC. After 46 centuries its height has been reduced by 9m. About 2.3 million limestone blocks, reckoned to weigh on average about 2.5 tonnes each, were used in the construction.
