Egypt pyramid
New Yarmouth
,
Jamaica
The most famous pyramids are the Egyptian pyramids — huge structures built of brick or
Stone
, some of which are among the largest man-made constructions. Some Egyptologists, notably Mark Lehner, state that the Ancient Egyptian word for pyramid was mer.[1] The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest in Egypt and one of the largest in the world. Until
Lincoln
Cathedral was built in 1300 A.D., it was the tallest building in the world. The base is over 52,600 square meters in area.
It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the only one of the seven to survive into modern times. The Ancient Egyptians capped the peaks of their pyramids with gold and covered their faces with polished white lime
Stone
, though many of the
Stone
s used for the purpose have fallen or been removed for other structures.
