The three pyramids of Giza are among the most famous monuments on the planet. Over 4,500 years old, they are the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to have survived to this day and are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

⁣⁢Monumental Tombs
The Pyramid of Khufu is the oldest and largest in the Giza necropolis, standing at its center. Composed of over three million assembled stone blocks, it retained its original height of 146.58 m until the Middle Ages, making it the tallest monument in the world.
The Pyramid of Khafre is slightly smaller; it is watched over by the legendary Sphinx.
The Pyramid of Menkaure, only 63 m high, is the best preserved of the three, even though it remained unfinished: the pharaoh who commissioned it died during its construction.⁤⁣

A recently unearthed papyrus is said to be the logbook of a supervisor on the pyramid's construction site and could shed more light.
How could a Bronze Age society, with only rudimentary tools at its disposal, have erected such a monument?
