The Great Pyramid of Khufu stands at the peak of ancient Egyptian engineering — a monument so vast it has often been described as a human-made mountain.

In this audio excerpt, we explore the history, scale, and meaning of the pyramids of Giza, focusing on Khufu’s Great Pyramid: its immense size, its architectural innovations, and what little we truly know about the pharaoh behind it.

The episode also sheds light on how the pyramids were built, examining modern archaeological evidence — including recently discovered work records from Wadi al-Jarf — that reveal a highly organized, skilled workforce rather than the long-standing myth of slave labor.

This clip comes from a live session led by a World Virtual Tours guide, uncovering the engineering, logistics, and human stories behind one of the greatest monuments ever built.
