Great Pyramid of Giza (Wonders of the Ancient World 7/7 - Sleep History ASMR)

This is part 7 (of 7) of "Wonders of the Ancient World". A compilation of all episodes together will follow soon.

The Great Pyramid is, by far, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built to house the remains of pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) from the Fourth Dynasty. One question this spectacular monument raises is how it could be built with rudimentary tools and techniques. In this episode, we visit the pyramid, explore its history, and take a look at how it could be constructed.
