A close up of the Pyramid of Khufa at Giza

Climbing the pyramid was pretty amazing. We were only able to go up so far, and no one got a picture of us from the ground, unfortunately, but it did happen. Standing on or sitting on these extremely heavy blocks took my mind back to a place I can hardly imagine. The size and mass of the stone is mind boggling, especially considering the number of slaves it took to create the pyramid. Most of all the amount of time put into this pyramid is alarming and wonderous. 20 years to create a baffling structure, whose purpose is still shrouded in mystery. The Pyramids are magnificent architectural structures and mystic spaces as well. I did find the fascination I wanted upon the eroding stones.
