The Pyramids of Giza
With the red pyramid, Sneferu set the standard for all true pyramids
to come. He included aboveground burial chambers, a mortuary temple, and
a causeway leading down to a valley temple. This was the model followed
by his son, Khufu, wh built the first and largest pyramid at Giza. The
Giza pyramids were erected on a rocky plateau on the west bank of the
Nile in northern Egypt and were connected, by covered causeways, to
mortuary temples in the valley below the plateau. These temples had
landing stages which were linked to the Nile by a canal. In ancient
times they were included among the Seven Wonders of the World.
