The northernmost and largest Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) is considered the greatest single building ever built by man. The pyramid no longer reaches its original height (481 2/5 feet) because its outer casings of smooth white limestone have been removed. Almost 2,300,000 blocks of stone (averaging 2.5 tons each) were used to construct this building.
