The Pyramids of Giza


Have to start the blog with the greatest archaeological treasure of them all, the Giza Pyramids. I don't intend to write down a great deal of history about the sites I display here, since a lot of that has been done on the web already. When available, I will post the Wikipedia link describing the site. And you can find the Giza link here. I do highly recommend Google Earth, as many of the pictures I post here will be captured from that program, and I will always give coordinates so you can find the site with whichever locator you choose.

The Sphinx is located at 29°58'30.90"N, 31° 8'15.54"E
The Pyramid of Khufu 29°58'45.00"N, 31° 8'3.00"E
The Pyramid of Khafre 29°58'33.00"N, 31° 7'51.00"E
The Pyramid of Menkaure 29°58'21.00"N, 31° 7'41.00"E
