The three major pyramids were built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom (c. 2600–2500 BCE) as royal tombs for Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure and remain among the oldest large-scale monuments on Earth.
Conservation
Heavy visitation causes erosion and wear—follow marked paths, avoid climbing monuments, and carry out any trash to help preserve the site for future visitors.
