They are a marveling, hand-made structure that took many years to build. Also, it rivals any structure built in the last few hundred years. In the article, "The Great Pyramid of Giza Facts", states that at the time, they didn't have any equipment to move the stone blocks, that at least weighed two tons each! It is a testament to the Egyptians, and its proportions must have been awe-inspiring. Ancient Pyramids will always be one of the seven wonders of the world.
