The Great Pyramid at Giza

The Great Pyramid of Khufu 480 feet tall: was the tallest building in the world for 3800 years (Surpassed by the Lincoln Cathedral in AD 1300!) Each side is 755 feet long Weighs 5.9 million tons Has virtually perfect alignment to true north Stones fit together so perfectly that it is impossible to slip a credit card between them Remains the largest man-made stone structure on Earth 2.3 million blocks (each block about 10 tons): 12 an hour every hour, non-stop, for 20 years

Khafre, Son of Khufu

The Necropolis at Giza

Mummies Only the pharaoh and the wealthy could afford mummification Lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines are dried and placed in four Canopic Jars The body is packed with natron, a type of salt to dry Heart is left inside while brain is removed with a hook through the nose Body is washed and perfumed and wrapped: the whole process takes 70 days!

Death is Only the Beginning Pharaohs would have professional wailers at their funerals! Pharaohs are buried with all of their favorite possessions, foods, and clothes for eternity Given a special book of spells called The Book of Going Forth by Day to protect and guide them to the afterlife We call this book The Book of the Dead

Journey to Paradise Egyptians believed that the journey began at sundown and lasted all night The heart of the dead was weighed against the Feather of Ma’at, goddess of truth An evil heart was heavier and the heart and soul would be devoured by a crocodile! A good heart was lighter than the feather and would enter paradise at sunrise of the new day.
