My video shows the view from the base of the massive Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The world-famous monument was built for Khufu, a monarch of the Old Kingdom whose reign was sometime around 2600 BCE. The Great Pyramid towers to 450 feet high (~137 m) and was the tallest manmade structure on the planet for around 3,800 years.
