What is the largest pyramid that was ever build?

Answer 1

Built from rock, glass or metal, pyramids are part of the world's culture both in modern and ancient times. The world's two largest pyramids--in Giza, Egypt--are famous tourist attractions, while the grand pyramids of Teotihuacan are open for people to scale their walls. In Nevada, the massive Luxor Las Vegas is a modern pyramid filled with hotel rooms and a casino. Another modern pyramid, the Louvre Pyramid in front of the Louvre Palace of Paris, is constructed of glass and metal.

Great Pyramid of KhufuSee the largest pyramid ever built, the Pyramid of Khufu, in Cairo, Egypt. Standing 481 feet tall, approximately 2.3 million stone blocks that each weigh between 2.5 and 15 tons form the pyramid. The Egyptian pharaoh, Khufu, raised the memorial pyramid around 2550 B.C. According to the National Geographic, the Pyramid of Khufu on the Giza Plateau includes three burial chambers. One chamber is carved from the bedrock beneath the pyramid, while the king's chamber is accessible through the Grand Gallery and is home to a sarcophagus made from red granite nestled at the pyramid's center. Access to the king's chamber was protected from thieves through the use of sliding granite that blocks entryways. Visitors are welcome to enter and explore the pyramid by way of corridors to the interior chambers.
