Khufu’s Pyramid: Skilled Builders and Precision

This monumental structure was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, not by slaves,

but by skilled Egyptian workers who were organized, fed, and housed by the

state. Ancient planners carefully selected a flat area near the Nile River,

using basic tools and astronomical knowledge to align the pyramid almost perfectly with the

cardinal directions — north, south, east, and west.
