In addition to be a tomb for the dead, it was clear that the Great Pyramid was an expression of the power of ancient Egypt.
The base of the pyramid is over a dozen acres wide and it reaches nearly 480 feet in height. It is made up of well over 2 million limestone blocks and it is one of the most staggering displays of wealth in history. According to archeologist, Kate Spence, “These sorts of pyramids are the major product, so to speak, of the kings who built them.”
