Which is considered the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza, erected about 4,500 years ago, is the oldest and the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Designed as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, it not only demonstrates the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Egyptian builders but also their advanced knowledge in mathematics and astronomy. Originally, the pyramid was covered with polished limestone, reflecting sunlight so brightly that it could be seen from miles around, like a shining jewel in the desert. Over the millennia, most of these stones have been removed, but the structure remains, a testament to human ingenuity over time.
