It features artifacts from the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods, including the celebrated mummies of ancient Egypt's king and Tut Ankh Amun treasures. The pyramids of Cheops, Chephran and Mycerinus were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A single pyramid is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one-half tons.
