It is located on the west bank of the Nile River not far from Cairo. In fact, all the pyramids along the Nile are on the west bank.

Its very hard to realize just how big the Great Pyramid is. There were over 2,300,000 blocks of solid stone. These huge stone blocks weigh an average of two and a half tones each, as much as a small car. Some even weigh fifteen tones. Without machinery, the ancient Egyptians cutand moved and lifted each of these stones. Many of the blocks came from the east bank of the Nile, and they were taken across the river in boats. It took more than 100,000 slaves twenty years to build the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid is over 450 feet high today, and it was once higher. Each of the sides of the pyramid is 755 feet long.
