The Great Pyramid is the largest pyramid ever built. This pyramid is also important because it points almost exactly north, showing that the ancient Egyptians understood directions. The pyramid is 481 feet tall and was built with nearly 2.3 million stone blocks that each weigh 2.5 to 15 tons apiece.

The Pyramids of Giza are in Egypt. They lie in the Sahara Desert.
