Great Pyramids Located in Giza, the Great Pyramids were the resting places of kings and other people of wealth.

That’s why the Sphinx doesn’t have a nose. http://www.cleveleys.co.uk/wonders/greatpyramid.htm http://www.portpromotions.com/media/ecom/prodlg/1215797672_Europe%20-%20Egypt%20-%20Pyramids.jpg Slide One Quiz End
