The Pyramids of Giza are the only object that has survived to our time, which was included in the famous list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They are located on a limestone plateau, hundreds of meters from the southwestern outskirts of Cairo. In ancient times, the inhabitants called this place imentet, which means "West". Then it became known as kher neter ("graveyard"). In the seventh century, the city of Giza was founded nearby. This name has also stuck to the place, which is visited by millions of tourists every year. The pyramids really amaze and delight with their grandeur, everyone should visit there at least once in their life.
