Description:You can also click on the menu items and read and learn about the topics covered at the site including: Ancient Egypt, History of Giza, Who Built the Pyramids, Hieroglyphs, Scale the Pyramids, and more. OR simply click on the “Enter Here” icon to immediately begin a virtual exploration of Khufu pyramid — you will feel like you’re crawling through narrow passageways as you make your way to the king’s burial chamber!
