The Great Pyramids

At Giza are three great pyramids, the Pyramid of Khufu (on right), the Pyramid of Khephren (center), and the Pyramid of Menkaure (on left). These pharaohs were father(Khufu or Cheops), son (Khephren) and grandson (Menkaure). The Great Pyramid of Giza (on right) is the largest in Egypt and the tallest structure in the world until 1300 AD (surpassed by the Lincoln Cathedral). These were probably built about 500 years before Abraham.

There are about 100 pyramids in Egypt. Radiocarbon dating conducted in 1994-1995 concluded the most recent pyramid was built in 1640 BC. That date would have been close to the exodus of Moses and the Israelites.
