Historical Overview at a glance
If visitors take some time to observe the sunrays, as they descend in an upside down V shape to embrace the smooth sides of the great Pyramids, the exceptional scene would amaze them. However, there is more to the scene’s beauty…as an inscription on one of the Pyramids reads "Heaven makes the sun rays hardened for you that you may ascend ", indicating that not only do the Pyramids of Giza serve as tombs, but also represent a major shift in structure and religious beliefs of the Forth Dynasty, where all three Pyramids were built
The structure of the Pyramid changed from having stepped sides like that of Sakkara, shedding more emphasis on the route to heaven, and on the religious importance of the sun and solar cult. All three Pyramids date back to the reigns of Kings Khufu; who built the great pyramid, Khafre; his son who built the second pyramid, and Menkaure; Khafre's son who built the third Pyramid, and are aligned on an East-West axis, following the sun rising and setting
The Solar Boat Museum; Majestic transportation for the Majesty
As you leave Khufu’s Pyramid, head south to visit the Solar Boat Museum, home to the boat believed to have transported King Khufu’s body to the Pyramid. The 142ft stunning boat, was discovered in 1945, but was found in separate parts, and was re-assembled through meticulous stitching with vegetable fiber. A watermark on the boat’s hull indicates that the boat was used only once, reinforcing the above-mentioned belief.
The Sphinx; the Pyramids’ Guardian
Carved from the bedrock of Giza plateau, stands the Sphinx with a head representing that of King Khafre and a body of a lion, which is a King’s representation in ancient art, symbolizing both power and wisdom. Historians say that the twenty meter high statue faces the East to greet the sun, as it rises everyday, and was painted with striking colors, that have sadly faded by time. A common misconception suggests that the Sphinx nose was shot off by Napoleon's men, but 18th century drawings reveal that the nose was missing long before Napoleon's arrival.
