It is set to be one of the largest and most significant museums in the world, dedicated to showcasing the art, history, and culture of ancient Egypt. The museum is designed to house over 100,000 artifacts, including the vast collection of treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun, many of which have never been publicly displayed before.

The GEM was envisioned to be a state-of-the-art facility with cutting-edge architecture, offering expansive exhibition halls, conservation labs, and educational spaces. Its location near the Pyramids of Giza gives it a unique connection to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The museum’s opening has been delayed several times, but it is anticipated to become a major tourist and scholarly destination once fully operational.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is a cornerstone of Egypt’s efforts to promote its ancient heritage to a global audience, and it is expected to greatly enhance Egypt's tourism and cultural sectors.

 the The Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx 

are among the most iconic and recognized ancient structures in the world, located just outside Cairo, Egypt.

The Pyramids of Giza

The three main pyramids at Giza are monumental tombs built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt (around 2600–2500 BCE). They were constructed for the Pharaohs and are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

2. 1. The Great Pyramid of Giza (Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops):

      1. The largest and most famous of the three, it was built for Pharaoh Khufu (also known as Cheops).
      2. Originally standing at about 146.6 meters (481 feet), it was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for over 3,800 years.
      3. It consists of approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing several tons, making its construction an engineering marvel.

   2. The Pyramid of Khafre (Pyramid of Chephren):

      1. Slightly smaller than Khufu's pyramid, this one was built for Pharaoh Khafre, Khufu’s son.
      2. The Pyramid of Khafre appears taller due to its elevated position, and it still retains some of its original casing stones at the top, giving a sense of how the pyramids would have looked when originally completed.
      3. At the base of this pyramid is the Great Sphinx.

   3. The Pyramid of Menkaure:

      1. The smallest of the three pyramids, built for Pharaoh Menkaure.
      2. Though smaller in scale, it is still an impressive structure and reflects the wealth and power of the pharaoh during the Old Kingdom.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx is a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh, commonly believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre (although there are theories suggesting it could depict Khufu or another ruler). It is one of the largest and oldest statues in the world, measuring about 73 meters (240 feet) long, 19 meters (66 feet) high, and 19 meters (66 feet) wide.

3. 1. Purpose: The Sphinx is thought to represent strength and wisdom, acting as a guardian figure for the pyramids and the surrounding necropolis.
   2. Erosion and Restoration: Over the millennia, the Sphinx has suffered from erosion due to wind and sand, and parts of it were damaged. Restoration work has been ongoing for centuries to preserve the monument.

The Pyramids and the Sphinx are symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization, showcasing the incredible architectural, artistic, and engineering achievements of the ancient Egyptians. They remain one of the world's most visited and studied archaeological sites.
