We saw the Great Pyramids at Gaza. This one contains about 3 million rock blocks each weighing 5 to 10 tons.

The original outer layer on this pyramid was a rosy granite stone. You can see it in the picture below, but most of it has been taken over time to build other things. We went into this pyramid. You had to bend over and walk in a long tunnel that sloped downward. After several minutes you come to a empty room where the king was once buried. None of the walls were decorated.
