The Giza Pyramid Complex, also known as the Giza Necropolis, is located on Egypt’s Giza Plateau. It includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, their surrounding complexes, and the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza. These monumental structures were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. The site also contains several ancient cemeteries and the remains of a village that once housed the workers who built the pyramids.

The Great Sphinx of Giza, often simply called the Sphinx, is a limestone statue depicting a reclining sphinx—a mythical creature with a lion’s body and a human head. Facing east, it stands majestically on the Giza Plateau, located on the west bank of the Nile River in Giza, Egypt.

Papyrus, one of the earliest forms of paper, is believed to have originated in Egypt as far back as the First Dynasty. It was crafted from the papyrus plant, which once thrived along the banks of the Nile River.
