    The pyramids of Giza were built by the ancient Egyptians. These impressive structures were constructed during the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, specifically during the reigns of the pharaohs of the 4th dynasty, around 2580-2560 BCE. The three main pyramids at Giza are attributed to Pharaohs Khufu (or Cheops), Khafre (or Chephren), and Menkaure (or Mykerinos). These pyramids served as tombs for the pharaohs and were part of a larger complex that included smaller pyramids for queens, temples, causeways, and other structures. The Great Pyramid of Giza, built for Pharaoh Khufu, is the largest and most famous of the pyramids.
