The seven wonders of the world have been great artifacts that would really be wonderful to see in person and I aspire to see the ones still in existence one day. The first of them is the Great Pyramid of Giza which was built in 2560-2540BC and presumed to be built as a tomb for the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh, Khufu. I can’t simply help imagining this being the tomb of a single man and was built for over 20 years. What if he died before they finished the construction? Well, guess he would have been mummified!
