-Each pyramid is a tomb for just 1 person?
-The first pyramid (Khufu's pyramid) was constructed over a 20 year period using 2 million 3 thousand blocks?
-The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years?
-None of the 3 pyramids are built on foundations? Just strong, rocky ground.
-The site of the pyramids used to be near a branch of the Nile river? They transported the stones on boats.
-The younger the Pharoah, the more elaborate his tomb/pyramid.

Very interesting facts. Lets here about what you did there. Like did you take a tour? did you spend an entire day at the pyramids? What were they like inside etc. I love the last pic, way to think of creative poses.
Knowing you, I thought you'd post a picture of you atop one of the pyramids.
I love your joyous HIGH jump!!
This is the best picture ever. It's even better than the diving picture...and that's saying something
You definAtely got the most air. I love Egypt. I must take Rick there someday.
Great pictures again Stef!
I didn't know that the Egyptians didn't use foundational stones. It makes sense to me though--what are foundational blocks? They are just more stones on the ground.
