The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid built by Khufu was the biggest and most glorious pyramid to ever come out of Egypt. The measures are as follows: "Khufu or Cheop's Great Pyramid is 756 feet (241 meters) square in plan, and 481 feet (153 meters) high. The angle of inclination of the triangular faces is about 51.5 degrees. The square of its height equals the area of each triangular face, as determined by Herodotus in 450 B. C. The base of the pyramid covers about 13 acres." (Source)
